La Bitta In Chiavari

Excellent gluten-free options, delicious mixed fried fish and a wide selection of top-notch desserts, excellent service, a nice and knowledgeable guy. We'll be back

For years, walking around my living room clutching a ball of bread dough the size of a tangerine, I've wondered why pizzas from all over Italy are so impossible to cut and chew (they take at least 35 seconds in the mouth), and after a few minutes they arrive at the table piping hot from the oven despite being paper-thin. As Shakespeare asked, skull in hand, pizza or no pizza? That is the question! I've realized, not without effort, that it depends on the extremely fast cooking, which emphasizes the problem described above. The solution is to go to a pizzeria without eating pizza. The interior is full of very evocative fish-themed mosaics. But the air conditioning isn't turned on; apparently, customers don't make reservations anymore. Outside, the place is very different: a bit basic, with unstable plastic chairs. The waitresses leave bottles of cold water at the tables without asking, which might seem like freebies since they're not branded. However, I should point out that I'm not a big fan of pizza. In fact, no matter what, I always order the modest Margherita, which really couldn't be more modest.

Excellent food, it was the only restaurant in Chiavari that welcomed us without having to reserve the day before :) good service, I recommend the trofie al pesto.

The pizza was very good, well-cooked, and very filling. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back :)

The gluten-free pizza was delicious. I went for this reason, as I'm celiac, but the regular pizza was good too. The place was very nice, and the staff were very friendly. I discovered it because I was looking for a place that served gluten-free. I recommend it.

Even though the place is a bit dated, the food is very good. We especially loved the pizza, cooked in the wood-fired oven, which is simply breathtaking. The fish-based first courses and fried fish were also very good. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and very attentive to their customers. We had a problem with the table setup, but the lady quickly resolved the issue. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it.

Very long wait, almost 40 minutes to have a very salty fish first course, mediocre quality

It was a workout trying to cut this pizza. Sharpen your knives or get new ones. Pizza was ok.

Perfect pizza, thin with a crust, well-filled. Neat environment (beautiful wooden walls with nautical panels), fast service, average prices. Highly recommended!

cozy pizzeria with a nautical style, clean. Ate the pizza, average. 6 frisceu (bread balls with a bit of cod, fried) 6 euros, frankly exaggerated. the rest of the prices are average for Chiavari (i.e. high, a pizza on average 10€)
