La Carabaccia Osteria e Cucina In La spezia

29/04/2026: It's actually a restaurant/pub, with limited seating, so if you're going on the weekend, book in advance. It's located on the main avenue called Via del Prione, in a small alley. If you arrive by car, you can't enter because it's a pedestrian area, so park elsewhere. The place is small, with a slightly Viking atmosphere. The menu is also in style, with hearty dishes like cheese and cured meat platters made with local products, pork shank (you'll occasionally find goulash), flavorful first courses, including wild boar meat, dressed potatoes stuffed in various ways, and also some good desserts. Let's just say this is a place for carnivores. If you like fish, go elsewhere. They obviously have good craft beers for all tastes, as well as an interesting local wine cellar. If you're traveling with children, the noisy customers and small space make it a bit cramped, and they don't have a children's menu. The food is quite good, and the owners are friendly. The prices aren't low, but La Spezia is now a tourist destination, so it's like that everywhere. Give it a try!

27/04/2026: As for the pub, nothing to complain about, everything was excellent. What you might not expect, besides the welcoming atmosphere and the friendly staff, was the food (complimentary chef) and the excellent beer. Top, top, thanks for the evening, a big hello from Milan! I hope to return if possible!
