Le Spighe In Alfonsine

17/09/2025: The restaurant/trattoria has an indoor dining room and a covered veranda with plenty of seating. Reservations are recommended in the summer, as it's always very crowded. Its specialties are definitely seafood, although it also has an excellent meat menu. I found the Touring appetizer excessively expensive (€22, if I'm not mistaken) for the amount. I struggle to reach that price, considering the markups for taxes, staff, suppliers, etc., despite the overall decent tastings. The paccheri allo scoglio were cooked and prepared very well, but the mussels seemed frozen. I must say, they're much better than other competitors, which, when they serve frozen mussels, fall apart in your mouth. I was very satisfied and recommend this seafood entree. I then ordered the fried calamari, shrimp, and mixed vegetables; it should actually be called fried mixed vegetables with shrimp and calamari. Yes, I found the fish portion paltry compared to the generous and eye-catching vegetable portion, which I later had to leave aside because it was truly excessive and unjustified, as was the price. I'll definitely return, but I recommend asking for more information about the dishes if you have any doubts about composition and quantities.

16/09/2025: The location is beautiful and clean. We went without a reservation and were seated right away. They came right away to take our orders even though the place was almost full. We ate deliciously; the fish was incredibly fresh, the dishes were well-prepared, and the portions were generous. The prices are reasonable. I recommend trying the sparkling wine on tap, which is very good. I'll definitely be back again. Congratulations to everyone! 😃👍
