Al Quadrato In La spezia

Sooooo delicious food for a small price! We had dinner with our family. First they brought focaccia, and at the end of the dinner - cupito. Each dish was incredibly delicious! I recommend the seafood pasta and shrimp gnocchi. We also really liked the cold appetizers

Everything is very good, but the plus of this restaurant is Eliana, a very empathetic, professional and kind girl.

We went for Christmas lunch. I have to say we were all satisfied!! The appetizers were delicious, the seafood risotto and the paccheri too! The pasta was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and flavorful! The service was quick considering the number of people. Everything was really good, not to mention the fried food and the artichokes. The mascarpone cream was delicious!

This restaurant is located near the city center, perfect for group or work pizza parties! The menu offers a wide selection of seafood and meat options, but the pizzas and sgabei are also very good! The staff is friendly, and Stefano, the owner, is a really smart guy who is very kind to his customers! This is definitely a place I recommend in town!

I visited around 1:00 PM on November 29, 2025. Since it's by the sea, I ordered seafood pasta. They also had seafood fried rice, so I was thinking about ordering those, but looking at the photos, the base looked exactly the same, so I ended up ordering tomato vongole pasta and pesto pasta. In conclusion, everything was delicious, but the seafood pasta was the best. I can't believe how they captured the flavor of the seafood so well. Trust me, and just order the seafood pasta. Even as I'm writing this review, I regret not ordering the fried rice as well. If you're wondering what to eat, just order both. The staff and the owner are all so friendly. We had a great time! La Spezia was a stop on the way to Cinque Terre, and the quiet atmosphere of the city made it hard to leave so quickly. (Update) This was the best meal I had during my 15-night, 17-day trip to Italy. The second-best was the shrimp oil pasta I had in Verona. If you come here, you absolutely must try the seafood pasta, "Furte di Mare."

A lovely place. Stefano, the owner, is warm and friendly. The food is generously portioned and delicious. You'll leave feeling completely satisfied.

The waitress's exuberance didn't make up for the lackluster first courses. The seafood and cacio e pepe were sent back. The glasses were dirty, as if they'd already been used. The homemade desserts deserve special mention; they were very good.

A really nice atmosphere, when we go we feel at home. Lucky to have it nearby. I recommend it for everything. Very friendly staff. Great. Few places here in La Spezia like yours 🔝🔝

Great food and amazing hospitality! The dishes were super tasty and the owner and staff were really friendly and welcoming. Felt like we were guests, not just customers. Definitely recommend! The wine was perfect.

Excellent quality of raw materials, excellent service
