Trattoria I Contadini In La spezia

We went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a local. Even though we arrived quite late, they still let us sit down and order, which we appreciated. The food was truly very good, and we have no complaints about that. Unfortunately, however, the service left much to be desired. We understand the fatigue from the last few hours of work, but this shouldn't translate into sloppy service. If it wasn't possible to guarantee adequate customer service, it would have been better to let us know kindly rather than offer us a sloppy experience. We ordered coffees, which were included in the reduced menu, but they were never served. The homemade desserts were also disappointing: the tiramisu was almost exclusively mascarpone, while the crème brûlée was very poorly presented, unlike any we'd ever seen. Overall, it's a real shame, because the quality of the food deserves commensurate service. Unfortunately, after this experience, I can't recommend this restaurant.

Spacious, airy restaurant with well-spaced tables, well-maintained and clean. Good-quality homemade pasta, a generous menu catering to all tastes, including local specialties. A family atmosphere with friendly, helpful staff. Recommended.

This restaurant serves 1980s-style cuisine, but there's no air conditioning whatsoever. Lunch in these temperatures was truly a chore. The price was absolutely reasonable.

Very good food, Ligurian dishes at a fair price. Very friendly staff. The space is spacious and child-friendly, with a play area. We'll definitely be back, highly recommended.

The stuffed mussels were good. The frying didn't quite live up to my expectations (the oil aftertaste was a bit off). Good value for money.

A restaurant with several tables, both indoors and on the terrace. A la carte or business menus with daily specials are available. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent view from the terrace. Unfortunately, the rice was overcooked, but the octopus alla diavola with potatoes was excellent. Good value for money.

A classy dinner, with plentiful food, but not the best quality. The wine and beer were disappointing. The location is quite large, and I'd say quite popular. It was packed, though (the second time), so whatever the case, it has a good reputation.

We had a great time; the food was excellent, plentiful, and there were no surprises on the final bill. Only a few details need to be improved (the teaspoon already in the dessert, for example). Highly recommended.

The food was delicious and plentiful, though a bit too hot due to the lack of air conditioning. The staff were very friendly. They also have full menus for €24 to €28. I'd happily go back. I recommend it.

Great place to eat away from the tourist center and surrounded by trees. Great welcome and attentive service. Menu has plenty of fish and seafood as well as a few meat and vegetarian dishes. They really look after you. The restraunt is big.
