Il ristorantino di BAYON In La spezia

Dinner for two. A small restaurant heavily promoted on AI and social media. Excellent hospitality. The location is beautiful, perhaps a little dark given its small size; I'd choose lighter colors. We opted for the tasting menu (€35), which wasn't offered but was requested based on information we'd previously found on social media. The appetizer, first course, and second course were all fish-based. The portions were adequate for adults; you won't leave hungry. Two glasses of wine. Why 3 stars? Three stars for the quality of the second course and for the price of €90, which I think is excessive for the type of fish used on the menu. Regarding the price, it must be said that it's a problem for that part of Liguria as a whole, and not just in Liguria. Unfortunately, places with a significant influx of foreign tourists raise prices like there's no tomorrow. And so a glass of non-prestigious wine costs €7. Italians know what's good and what's not in our country; foreigners just pay.

Refined cuisine featuring mainly fish and seafood. The fish is cooked to perfection. The service is attentive, impeccable, and delightful. A sure bet.

Very welcoming and quiet place. Excellent service and very friendly and helpful staff. We had an appetizer and a first course, both delicious!! Highly recommended.

A welcoming place, distinguished by the courtesy and friendliness of its staff. Excellent food and more than generous portions. Good value for money.

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was truly thrilled. The dinner was light but extremely tasty, with perfectly balanced portions. The location is super intimate and romantic, ideal for a special evening. What I appreciated most, however, was the authentic atmosphere: the restaurant is run by a father and daughter, just the two of them, and this makes the experience even more warm and genuine. You can feel the passion in every detail. Highly recommended!

A very famous restaurant in La Spezia where you had to book a month in advance, but it recently changed management, so I'm super curious to try it. The menu is varied and caters to every palate. The food is good quality but definitely room for improvement. Privacy isn't the best, as the restaurant is very small, and if you happen to be there with American guests on a night out, you'll have to shout to speak. The service definitely needs improvement. Excellent wine list with above-average prices. A little tip: a complimentary liqueur at the end is always appreciated.

Romantic setting, delightful atmosphere, polite, unobtrusive, knowledgeable, fast, and attentive staff, ready to satisfy every guest's need.... Top-notch food.... Compliments to the chef! Highly recommended

I've been there several times and have always been very satisfied. Very kind people, excellent food, and attention to every detail. I also had dinner yesterday, December 31, 2025, and everything was truly perfect. A restaurant that never disappoints, not in terms of food and wine, nor in the politeness and kindness of the owner and his daughter. Congratulations!!!

An intimate and relaxed atmosphere, a pleasant surprise in La Spezia. The chef and the staff, united by a great passion for cooking, made our dinner unique. The highlight was the cod, a delicious dish.
