Colesterolo In La spezia

I was a bit concerned at the beginning based on the reviews but this place is a real gem. Whoever looks for Italian authenticity will find it in this restaurant. Family run business, the kitchen is not well separated from the dining area but at least in February it was not a problem at all, in fact makes the place feel like we are part of the cooking, I personally loved it. The food is super delicious, not a big variety but this is what it makes it unique. Everything is coming fresh from the kitchen. The atmosphere is eclectic such as all good Italian places.

Returning from the tour of the Cinque Terre we were looking for something open. For dinner on January 1st we had spotted another place but it was closed. Lured by the bizarre name we entered and the choice paid off for us. Fantastic spaghetti alla carrettiera for me, very tasty spaghetti alllo scoglio for my husband, half a white wine, 2 divine homemade tiramisu. Open kitchen, excellent chef and lively, folkloristic service. The cost is also excellent.

In May we had the opportunity to have dinner. I had never tasted such good spaghetti fruti de Mare in my life. Amazing flavor and an incredible amount. I hope to return to La Spezia one day and would definitely stop at this restaurant again. Congratulations and if you could pass me the recipe, it would be incredible.

Excellent place and everything delicious.

We loved it! Good quality/price ratio. The dishes are abundant and very tasty, only one was a little salty, but we usually eat without much salt. We ordered a super scoglio (€20) carbonara and another cacio e pepe (€9) The waitress was super attentive and open to explaining, the food came out very quickly and at the right temperature. You can see the kitchen and how they serve your dish. I recommend it!

It was a very quiet and pleasant place. But the name of the place is just funny

Excellent linguine with clams. Cozy place.

Most delicious and enjoyable meal we’ve had in Italy. The food is unbeatable! Do not miss out on this wonderful experience. We will be back!

One of the most incredible meals I’ve had in my life. The sauce and pasta and seafood were magnificent. The house wine is one of the best white wines I’ve tasted. I have been to Michelin star restaurants all over the world. And the flavors in the dishes at cholesterol can stand up to any of them. Highly recommend

Pleasant environment, good food and service
