Focacceria La Marina In

Review of "La Marina" – Brugnato (La Spezia), very close to the famous Brugnato outlet. If you're looking for an authentic, welcoming restaurant that will make you feel instantly at home, La Marina is a must-see. It's a family-run establishment in a very convenient location, with parking just steps away and truly perfect accessibility, even for those with disabilities: a rare and precious touch. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with great warmth, and the family atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. But the real star was the food: exceptional dishes, rich in flavor, tradition, and generous portions, all at more than fair prices. We started with amazing polenta, served in several variations: with roe deer, venison, mushrooms, and even goulash. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, the kind you want to remember forever. Next, a mixed antipasto platter with local cured meats, panzanella, and delicious vegetable tarts: a triumph of simple and authentic flavors, literally finger-licking good. The service was impeccable: fast, attentive, and extremely courteous. Special mention goes to Elisa and Antonietta, whose kindness and professionalism made everything even more enjoyable. Last but not least, we concluded the meal with two unforgettable desserts: a fragrant and moist homemade apple pie and a homemade panna cotta, enhanced with a delicious blackberry jam, also homemade. A perfect finale, in keeping with the care and love that characterizes the entire cuisine at this restaurant. In conclusion, La Marina is a restaurant we wholeheartedly recommend: for its quality, its atmosphere, and the passion with which it is run. It's a place we'll definitely return to, and one we recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic local cuisine in a warm and authentic setting.

Near the town hall, we found this restaurant/pizzeria where we stopped for dinner. We ordered mainly fish and loved it. We had the pleasure of discovering the Cinque Terre wine, which we really enjoyed, especially the white.

A good, handmade pizza and a good price, the Neapolitan one at €10, facing the sea and very quiet, not at all crowded like the ones next to the station, although this one is close, it's another world, eat and enjoy.

Food was tasty, the mussels were different and well worth trying. Close the train line but definitely worth giving it a go

Popped in here after strolling the main streets where everything was full already, so glad we ended up finding this place. They sat us straight away, and service after that was quick and accommodating. Dinner was absolutely delicious! Both the pizza and the pasta were large portions and full of flavour. Would highly recommend.

Delicious! I've tried other restaurants nearby, but this is the best. Generous portions, tasty dishes, and great prices. I highly recommend it, despite its simple location.

A welcoming pizzeria with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The pizza has a light, well-leavened dough, with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The menu offers interesting choices, including vegetarian options. Service is quick, but can be a bit noisy at busy times. Excellent value. Ideal for a casual evening with friends or family. Definitely recommended, it deserves its 5 stars.

Plain old food, pre-made pizzas

I ate the pizza. Very, Very Good. Nice and crispy. The staff was attentive and friendly. The prices were fair. I WILL BE BACK!

I dined here twice, first for pizza, and second for fish (both first and second courses). The service was impeccable. The girl who served me greeted me with a "welcome back" gesture, which is unusual considering the restaurant's location and the number of customers they serve. As for the food, I'd first like to point out that the quality-price ratio is very good, and the prices are lower than those of other restaurants. The pizza was very good and well-seasoned, and the fish was fresh and well-cooked. Highly recommended.
