La Darsena, in Sarzana, was a pleasant discovery: solid, flavorful, yet meticulously prepared seafood. I ordered scialatielli with mussels and roasted octopus on creamed potatoes: fresh fish, flavorful dishes, that distinct sensation of "feeling the sea."
The ravioli with pesto and calamari chosen by my companion were also very successful: a truly surprising dish, balanced and intense. The girls ordered two thin-crust pizzas, with excellent dough and flavorful, non-standard toppings.
In the glass, a Cinque Terre DOC 2022 from Terenzuola: straw yellow, a fine, marine profile, with notes of citrus, yellow fruit, Mediterranean herbs, and a lovely savory edge. On the palate, it's fresh, vertical, and mineral, perfect for accompanying fish dishes without overpowering them.
Overall, a dinner that demonstrated a high level of quality, both in the quality of the ingredients and in the preparation. A special mention also goes to the staff: kind, attentive, and discreet. A decidedly positive experience.

The outdoor location is excellent, especially for families with small children who can play outside. The seafood dishes are very good and the portions are generous. The service and house wine could be improved.
Recommended.
