I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in La spezia

20/07/2025: Semplici come la corte interna, come il sorriso con cui vieni accolto, come la mise en place e come il menu, senza fronzoli ma davvero buono. Partiamo col cappun magro che per me in Liguria è un test importante, e che si rivela davvero ottimo. A seguire una pasta mista con calamaretti, brodosa il giusto e molto gustosa. Senza particolari difetti i dolci che sono però la cosa che meno mi ha colpito della serata. Lista vini che giustamente strizza l’occhio alle molte eccellenze locali con ricarichi corretti. Consigliato!

14/07/2025: Siamo stati a pranzo in questo splendido locale gestito a livello famigliare, che dire: una splendida sorpresa. Gestito a livello famigliare, Silvia che ama cucinare e gli riesce profondamente bene e Andrea in sala con la sua gentilezza e spontaneità. Arrivando dal Piemonte abbiamo mangiato pesce e siamo stati molto soddisfatti. Tutte le pietanze vengono preparate sul momento e si percepisce subito la ricerca della qualità dei prodotti utilizzati. Anche la carta dei vini è ben fornita e si trovano tante etichette che dimostrano una continua ricerca del prodotto. I dolci strepitosi!!! A fine pranzo abbiamo assaggiato i due gin homemade che sono entrambi superlativi ma per il nostro palato vince "il bosco"! Complimenti e continuate così...

04/08/2025: Simply excellent, from the food to the staff! Must try and return ☺️

30/07/2025: Excellent traditional Ligurian cuisine!

13/08/2025: I've been vegan for over 12 years, but I don't remember eating so well, every dish. The flavor, the quality, the lady who served us. I went without any expectations. I went with my sister and cousin, who are not vegan, and they were both amazed. COMPLIMENTS to the chef and also to the lady in the dining room who served us so well!!!!!

08/08/2025: We ordered two ravioli and a seitan fillet with mashed potatoes, both excellent and very tasty. We're very happy to find such an option in this area. We've been eating pasta for the past five days due to the lack of options in Liguria. You saved us. Thank you.

05/08/2025: A top-notch restaurant. The location is perhaps its weakest point, despite being excellent. The location is spot on, in the center of Monterosso, but it's a shame that without knowing it, it's difficult to identify given the small portico. Perhaps a sign or some other object could be used to better identify the restaurant. The service is impeccable. Although there seems to be only one waiter, even with a considerable number of guests, he manages to manage everyone admirably. You're greeted with a bowl of delicious bread that makes you want to mop up your plate even if it's empty. If you run out, they're ready to bring a second. The cutlery is changed with each course, and without having to ask, they even brought us small plates to share (since we'd ordered a main course for two and a dessert for two). Always smiling and friendly, they seem happy for every customer who arrives and treat you like a king! As for the food, I think it's unbeatable. We tried three first courses (two were of the day and one was from the menu): "Cuttlefish ink pasta with swordfish, pine nuts, capers, and tomatoes," "Egg pasta with shrimp and pesto," and "Shrimp and burrata pasta." Every ingredient seemed to be spot on and paired well with the others. Flavorful dishes and fresh fish, not the kind you find in a supermarket. For our second course, we treated ourselves to a "swordfish fillet with citrus fruits," which truly tasted of citrus. I was amazed by this; it had an ultra-delicate and refined flavor. The fillet was tender and generous. The "tuna steak on a bed of pistachios" was equally delicious. The desserts were a touch of class. We had a pistachio cream with berries, which delighted my palate. As a pistachio lover, I have to say it was very good. A wonderful experience! We were happy to have discovered this gem in the heart of Monterosso on the last day of our vacation and to have been able to end it on a high note.

05/08/2025: One of the best culinary experiences I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Excellent food, excellent service. The products are high-quality and the quantity generous. I highly recommend it.

07/08/2025: A delightful bakery, all the staff are sweethearts, the food is delicious, the service is great. Always very attentive and loving.

06/08/2025: If you want to eat the best croissants in Cinque Terre, this is the place. Great atmosphere, the staff speaks all languages and are really friendly. I recommend it.

24/07/2025: Young and friendly staff, not local. Excellent food for tourists. Value for money: 2/5. Spectacular view.

23/07/2025: Excellent restaurant, perfect and fresh food. Very professional and friendly staff, especially our waiter, Sky. Excellent view and truly relaxing. Highly recommended.

22/07/2025: It's definitely worth the trip to try their delicious farinata, both plain and stuffed, truly unique. ☺️ As for the pizza, for my personal taste, it's not very stuffed. Overall, definitely book. See you next time 😊

19/07/2025: PIZZA SCANDALOSA ORDINATA E ARRIVATA CHE NON CERA NIENTE SOPRA, provato a contattare ma nessuna risposta ! già la terza volta che ordiniamo in questa pizzeria ma è stata una volta peggio dell’altra !

25/07/2025: Nel cuore di La Spezia, in una strada pedonale, c'è il ristorante Giardinetto. Si compone di diverse piccole sale con un'atmosfera accogliente. Sui muri ci sono dipinti dei borghi delle Cinque Terre. Offre una cucina tradizionale, ma variata. Si possono gustare gli spaghetti ai frutti di mare con basilico e sottili fette di limone al Marsala. Veloce e elegante.

25/07/2025: In centro. Si mangia molto bene. Soprattutto pesce. Vini soprattutto del territorio, buoni e abbastanza abbordabili. Il pesce è freschissimo! Servizio buono, locale informale ma tranquillo. In estate c’è una corte interna nella quale si mangia e si sta al fresco, piacevolmente lontano dal rumore del centro. Prezzo non trattoria ma neppure esoso.

02/08/2025: Excellent in every way: food, service, courtesy. Finally, a place where you can rediscover the true pleasure of food and socializing, thanks also to the owners' professionalism and cheerfulness. 10 out of 10. Come back here, it will be wonderful again: it's a guarantee!

31/07/2025: Excellent food, plenty of variety between ravioli, panigacci and meat, not to mention the homemade desserts 😋, suggestive location, personally fantastic, excellent service

23/07/2025: A delightful discovery in the heart of La Spezia, just steps from the train station, accommodations, monuments, and more. Super-prepared, friendly, and kind staff, and a superb property. Highly recommended... finally, a place where you can eat divinely, spending the right amount and more! Disciplinary Hazzard Analysis, critical control point, cleanliness, etc.!!! GO THERE, YOU'LL BE BACK!

23/07/2025: A must-try if you're passing through La Spezia. The pizzas are spectacular, with gluten-free options, whole-wheat crust, and tons of variety at a more than reasonable price!

30/07/2025: The staff was very welcoming, the location is super cozy and the tables are very well set, I enjoyed a dish of troffies al pesto and it was perfectly fine, not too salty with chunks of potato. The white wine was delicious and fresh. We had a great time

28/07/2025: The Osteria dell’Uva is centrally located and has a nice menu. The Carbonnara is really tasty. During our visit, there was a small “show” from street artists at the intersection, which wasn’t to our liking, but others seemed to enjoy it.

28/07/2025: A rare gem: excellent cuisine, impeccable hospitality, and very fair prices. We visited this restaurant two nights in a row, and each time was a delightful surprise. The quality of the food is top-notch: fresh fish, excellent ingredients, and never boring pairings. The dishes are carefully crafted, imaginative, and always different—in fact, the menu changes daily, and there are always specials, making every dinner a new experience. If I may offer a tip: try the pasta, truly exceptional. Beyond the cuisine, the hospitality was also impeccable. The staff was attentive, kind, friendly, and attentive to every detail. They even gave us helpful tips on what to visit in the area, making us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, perfect for enjoying a lovely evening. And finally, the icing on the cake: the bill. Honestly, considering what we ate, we thought there must have been a mistake! The prices were definitely below average for the area, especially considering the high quality and quantity. The value for money is hard to beat. In short, a place you'd love to return to — and we did right away.

28/07/2025: The restaurant is located centrally but still a really cozy and calm place. We were sitting in the allyway on the left of the restaurant entrance. The food, we had pasta with pistacchio and tuna tatar and ravioli filled with shrimps. Both meals were really delicious. The food came very quickly, but after that we had to make ourselves visible to the waiters a bit (which was not bad and mostly caused by the fact, that it was quite busy).

24/07/2025: There are also gluten-free options

17/07/2025: Discovered by chance, it's become our favorite spot in La Spezia for breakfast, gelato (excellent), and focaccia! Friendly staff, and a pleasant, quiet location. Highly recommended!

17/08/2025: Everything was beautiful, it's not for everyone, but it was all really good.

17/08/2025: I met Nana on social media. On our way back from vacation, my partner and I decided to stop in La Spezia to try her restaurant. The welcome and kindness of the staff was excellent. We ordered the dry-aged fillet and sirloin. The cooking was excellent and the flavor was excellent, further enhanced by the selection of salts they brought to our table to accompany the meat. Excellent experience.

11/08/2025: Space Ravioli. A huge selection of ravioli, delicate flavors, stellar combinations, a sci-fi flavor... in short, space ravioli at earthly prices... a stratospheric combination. Plus, the grill is generous and flavorful: for €13, you get a lot of meat like no other place, and they don't give you the usual sausage. The berry or raspberry sorbet is phenomenal. If you want to spend the day by the pool, this is a beautiful and well-kept place. Worth a try.

11/08/2025: Excellent restaurant. Excellent quality of food. We had three types of ravioli, all really good, and the meat was excellent as a main course. Eating outside by the pool was very relaxing. A beautiful location surrounded by nature. We will definitely be back.
