Osteria Il Puin In La spezia

01/11/2024: We popped into this amazing restaurant for lunch today. Spectacular food and service. The vegetarian pizza was large (about 16 in/35 cm in diameter) and topped with eggplant, zucchini, and other wonderful veggies with a pesto sauce. The crust was crisp and thin. The seafood pasta dish was exquisitely made, and packed with mussels, clams, shrimps, and squid. My partner said it was the best seafood pasta he ever had. The bathrooms were clean and modern. We ended this perfect lunch with and Aperol spritz to go. Highly recommended.

16/10/2024: Not a pleasant experience, we arrived at 8pm and were immediately seated, a stroke of luck is Saturday evening and the place does not accept reservations, we waited an hour to be served, in the outdoor area there will be around 20 seats, at my after about three quarters of an hour of waiting, the owner told me that those who had ordered takeaway had perhaps done so an hour or two earlier. We finally have dinner, the pizza was delicious as always, at the moment of paying 4 people get up from the tables near us to go and complain about the service, and we were told that they were born as a take-away pizzeria and that therefore this is their priority, it's fine you just need to know but when you sit down they have to tell you that there is the possibility that you will have to wait an hour because they have to serve the takeaway first.
