Pepe Nero In La spezia

One of my favorite restaurants in the world. The food is amazing, the service is spectacular, the staff and owners are amazingly friendly, and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting. In addition, the menu includes English, and Stefania, owner/waitress, speaks it at an almost native level. The restaurant is always busy, but they seem to always find an available table, although advance reservations are strongly recommended on weekends. Everything on the menu is homemade, from the home cured anchovies to the pesto, and of course the wide, creative and varying weekly array of ravioli - a house specialty. On any given day one can find on the menu around 3 seafood based ravioli dishes, 3 meat based ravioli dishes, as well as vegetarian ravioli dishes. Personally, I also love the simple side dish of grilled vegetables, which is simple delicious!

Very nice surprise Everything is very good, pizza, ravioli as far as we are concerned. Prices more than fair. Well done

I deserve much more than the current 3.9 The food is good, both ravioli and pizza. The service average. The place is nice and central. The ravioli with squid ink and those with cod are certainly super.

Their pizzas are delicious, the service is good and the prices are suitable for everyone

Out of spite and deserves much more than 3.9 hence the rating of 5 (deserves a little more than 4) - Nice surprise 😀 Very friendly, smiling and helpful staff. Excellent Ravioli al Ragu, fresh and homemade Tiramusu with “chicken” eggs Panacaotta not available because too fresh (too liquid) Small downside for the principle of asking for something (parmesan, olive oil, salt, etc.) Thank you again for this beautiful evening 🇧🇪 PS: I didn't have time to take a photo of the Tiramisu, as soon as it arrived, it was swallowed up 😋

The restaurant that was missing in Spezia, you can find everything, from pizza for lunch to the fixed menu (excellent value for money €13) to a well-stocked wine list, a clean and welcoming place with very kind owners and staff who are always available to satisfy customer requests... Even the most demanding ones.

Very kind and above all excellent dishes.

Fast and friendly service, very very good and generous pizzas, nice place, just surprised to pay for the cutlery! But very good value for money

Muy buena comida, pero el personal estaba bajo presión de prisa a la hora del almuerzo. La comida era lenta para servir entre platos, pero era realmente excelente.

When we arrived the restaurant was busy. There were 3 groups waiting and suddenly they started carrying tables to the slightly raised area behind the outside tables. In a flash they’d set up a new seating area for us! The staff were attentive and the food was great. Lovely setting and ambiance. I would definitely recommend and will revisit next time I’m in La Spezia
