Osteria da Bartali In La spezia

This restaurant has only a few tables, so it's always a good idea to book. However, the food is excellent, and the service is friendly, courteous, and fast!

Great value for money and excellent service. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. We went out of season and ordered Spaghetti Frutti di Mare and Trofie al Pesto. Both were excellent. The desserts were also delicious, especially the almond ice cream and the mille-feuille. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, top quality, good service and a home-like welcome.

First off, this is my second visit, and I would recommend this restaurant again! I always skip the appetizers, but when I see others eating them, they look incredibly delicious!! As risotto enthusiasts, we order it every time. We are amazed by the perfect doneness and texture, and then surprised again by how well it absorbs the sauce! It is practically Michelin-level quality!! The pasta is cooked al dente, with just the right amount of sauce and seafood that makes it incredibly tasty. Just order it!! The grilled octopus is tender and has a pleasant texture to the skin, making it a delicious dish to eat! The seafood soup is a bit of a letdown! Honestly, it has a lot of sand, making it a bit uncomfortable to eat! I would advise Koreans to avoid ordering it!! The grilled fish is an absolute must-try! The tender fish flesh, combined with well-roasted potatoes and olives, just melts in your mouth!! You absolutely must order it!! Don't think there's nowhere to go when you come to Italy; stop by here and there! It is a restaurant worth the legwork to try!!

All the dishes were top quality. Fresh fish and seafood, cooked to perfection. Excellent service. I'd definitely come back until I've tried every dish.

Good restaurant for well-prepared regional cuisine

The food was simply amazing! We loved everything we ordered. A special shout-out to the Spaghetti ai frutti di mare – you absolutely must try their food! Reservations are a must!!! So delicious! Everything we ordered was excellent! The seafood spaghetti is a must-try!! The desserts were delicious too! Seafood lovers, don't miss it! But you absolutely must make a reservation in advance, as they're always fully booked during peak hours. If you want to come, be sure to book in advance!

I am italian/taiwanese, I am traveling a lot around to the world and of course experienced many restaurants, but this is the fist time that I leave a message as my wife and I were really positive impressed. The owner, Roberto is really great person I am highly recommend this restaurant and wish to go back soon.

Everything's fine, a little noisy if there are large tables. But the food is excellent! It's worth it!

When you can't stand eating badly and spending any more, you hope to find a place at Bartali's, apart from the risotto which is to be avoided, the usual dishes are a sure thing.
