We stopped by this restaurant during a day at the Brugnato outlet.
A classic old-fashioned trattoria where you'll find friendly service and good food.

A village trattoria. Delicious food. Tasty and high-quality. Excellent mushroom polenta. Also, the boiled meat with exceptional sauces. My husband had the stuffed cabbage and calamarata. Everything was good. Generous portions and fast service. Very friendly. Places like this should be cloned. I wanted to order the desserts, which looked fantastic. But I was too full to manage. Next time. I'll definitely be back. If you're in the area, stop by for a bite. It's also close to the highway exit, but in town.

A typical trattoria with excellent traditional dishes. We had a plate of mixed boiled meats with sauces and homemade cabbage salad (delicious) and a stuffed cabbage roll (fantastic).
The apple pie was also delicious.
Good value, and the ladies were courteous, explaining the menu to us and serving us promptly. We'll definitely be back.

Review of "La Marina" – Brugnato (La Spezia), very close to the famous Brugnato outlet.
If you're looking for an authentic, welcoming restaurant that will make you feel instantly at home, La Marina is a must-see. It's a family-run establishment in a very convenient location, with parking just steps away and truly perfect accessibility, even for those with disabilities: a rare and precious touch.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with great warmth, and the family atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. But the real star was the food: exceptional dishes, rich in flavor, tradition, and generous portions, all at more than fair prices.
We started with amazing polenta, served in several variations: with roe deer, venison, mushrooms, and even goulash. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, the kind you want to remember forever. Next, a mixed antipasto platter with local cured meats, panzanella, and delicious vegetable tarts: a triumph of simple and authentic flavors, literally finger-licking good.
The service was impeccable: fast, attentive, and extremely courteous. Special mention goes to Elisa and Antonietta, whose kindness and professionalism made everything even more enjoyable.
Last but not least, we concluded the meal with two unforgettable desserts: a fragrant and moist homemade apple pie and a homemade panna cotta, enhanced with a delicious blackberry jam, also homemade. A perfect finale, in keeping with the care and love that characterizes the entire cuisine at this restaurant.
In conclusion, La Marina is a restaurant we wholeheartedly recommend: for its quality, its atmosphere, and the passion with which it is run. It's a place we'll definitely return to, and one we recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic local cuisine in a warm and authentic setting.

A truly super cozy little place ☺️ highly recommended!!
When we went, due to an unexpected situation, they found themselves with one less person serving, so we waited a few minutes longer to order, but the kindness and promptness of the service were truly superb and made any wait worthwhile!
We had a great time; the portions are generous and the prices more than fair. The dishes are truly delicious, and the homemade desserts are truly special.
My group of friends and I are happy to have found a genuine place like this on our way 💕
