I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in La spezia

16/08/2026: We had dinner as a group of four without a reservation. It's heartfelt cooking, made with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. I had an octopus and potato salad as a starter and then pasta alla vongole—the best I've ever had! 🫠 The children had seafood pasta and a simple Bolognese sauce, which was also fantastic. At the end of the meal, the rather elderly chef came out onto the terrace to help out in the dining room; it was reassuring to see that because it's truly heartfelt cooking. Grazie ⭐️💛

15/08/2026: Simple but effective family cooking

20/08/2026: They say they close at 12, and I go at 9:45 with the place practically empty, and they tell us they can't give us a table...in the middle of August...another sad bunch who've adapted to British hours

19/08/2026: Among the best burgers I've ever had, I recommend the one with cheddar and bacon, truly delicious. Not to mention the freshly baked potatoes and the aioli sauce, which were insane. My only suggestion for the restaurant would be to maybe provide a little sauce or some good oil to dip all that bread they give you at the beginning, because there wasn't much to mop up with the burger :)

23/08/2026: A location with a breathtaking view, but the food isn't up to par (not a good value): €34 for a grilled dish that includes two shrimp, a small piece of tuna, and a swordfish. Extremely salty spaghetti (probably by mistake, but bordering on inedible, for €25). The only really good dish: the cuttlefish gnocchi. It's a shame because the setting is truly stunning and worth it.

18/08/2026: It’s a very nice restaurant with an amazing view. And, most importantly, if you don’t have a car, the owners can pick you up and take you back to your accommodation if needed, which is a really thoughtful service. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend ordering anything fried in oil. In my opinion, the best dishes on the menu are the fish baked in a salt crust or the meat dishes, although the meat is quite expensive. I wouldn’t recommend the pasta either—it wasn’t my favorite. As for dessert, I definitely wouldn’t order the tiramisu. It was a very unusual combination that didn’t work for me. It was basically tiramisu cream with salted focaccia at the bottom of the cup, and the coffee was served warm. Overall, I didn’t find the combination particularly pleasant or interesting. One other point about the service: one of the waiters seemed to have some difficulty understanding certain requests and wasn’t very familiar with the wines on the menu. I found this a little surprising, as I would expect the staff to have a good knowledge of the wines they serve. That said, the overall service was very fast and efficient. There were just a few details that, in my opinion, could be improved.

14/07/2026: Last night, my dear friend and colleague Angela and I celebrated our retirement with 30 friends and colleagues. It was a beautiful evening: we were welcomed with great professionalism and kindness. The dishes were absolutely delicious, prepared with care and attention. Edoardo proved himself to be competent and impeccable in managing the preparations leading up to the evening, and then, together with Paola, he made us feel pampered from start to finish. Heartfelt thanks to all the staff for making our celebration memorable. Highly recommended for any occasion!

14/07/2026: A fantastic discovery! We went without a reservation and were able to get a table for four. A warm and friendly welcome. We were served quickly, and the dishes were EXCELLENT!!! The desserts were a real treat... also excellent, but with a stunning presentation that you'll discover on the plate... Bravo to the pastry chef!

08/08/2026: A simple osteria in the historic center. We ordered mussels marinara, green peppercorn fillet with zucchini, Neapolitan paccheri, and Black Angus carpaccio. High-quality food, perfectly cooked. Fast service and friendly staff.

08/08/2026: The food was amazing, the service was great, attentive and super kind and the atmosphere was great! Super enjoyed our visit.

25/06/2026: Wonderful food and good environment

23/06/2026: I came for dinner with my wife during our vacation in Liguria. The atmosphere was intimate and welcoming. Quality food and impeccable service.

20/08/2026: The strong point is the quality of the seafood dishes. I recommend the house spaghetti. The catch of the day and the raw fish are also very good.

08/08/2026: Claudio's Tortuga is my favorite restaurant when I'm on vacation in the area! The courtesy is combined with great food quality! I can recommend the stuffed muscles: excellent! Claudio's spaghetti is a must! The raw ham: very fresh! The Catalana is super! The prices are fair, or at least in my area (Lombardy) they are higher for the same quality!!!!

21/07/2026: A lovely restaurant on the Fezzano seafront, serving excellent quality seafood at a moderate price. Generous portions and a wide selection of wines.

17/07/2026: We returned to a restaurant that, for as long as we've known it, combines excellent ingredients, extraordinary dishes, impeccable service, and a location just steps from the sea. It's a bit far from Bologna, but we'll be back again the next time we get a chance.

09/08/2026: A friend of mine had a coffee accidentally spilled on him (by the waiter) and despite the owner's adequate apologies, no discount or freebie was applied at checkout.

24/07/2026: Excellent service, atmosphere, and food!!! I absolutely recommend it, with many gluten-free options.

02/07/2026: The Pin Bon restaurant offers both à la carte dishes and a €50 tasting menu (our choice; also, if you opt for less than all the dishes, the price goes down: we paid about €35 each). The appetizers were very unique, varied, and delicious (some truly special). The first courses (spaghetti and seafood risotto) were quite good, as were the second courses (we chose mixed fried fish and grilled meat. I must admit, I wasn't too thrilled with the grilled meat). The waiter, extremely kind and knowledgeable, served us with great professionalism. Overall, the place is beautiful and the food is good at reasonable prices. (One small point: we weren't given a menu; I personally don't think it was a good choice. I would have liked to read "what" I was eating and know the prices for the à la carte menu as well... too bad!) Furthermore, the view is spectacular and definitely worth the trip. I definitely recommend it and would love to come back to enjoy both the menu (maybe next time I'll try the Catalan one) and the view. 😊

30/06/2026: Wonderful location and excellent food

03/06/2026: I had dinner here with my partner and a couple of friends. We each had a first course and a second course to share. The portions were generous and the food was amazing! The place is very cute and intimate, and the service was excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful. We also really appreciated the chef's check of the tables. Highly recommended. We hope to be back very soon!

31/05/2026: Excellent, refined cuisine. Excellent service, and the owner is truly kind and friendly. We'll definitely be back.

11/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly wonderful discovery! This restaurant was recommended by our host during our vacation. We ordered an assortment of ravioli to try a little bit of everything… and what a treat! 😋 Everything was absolutely delicious, but the portions were so generous that we unfortunately couldn't finish it all 😅 The setting is superb, surrounded by nature, very green and truly lovely. And to top it all off, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend this place, both for the food and for the ambiance and the service.

07/08/2026: I just had to call to reserve a table and pool. The owner, I suspect (the one who answered), was incredibly rude. He raised a series of problems with using the pool in a very rude manner. I can't even begin to describe it. Having two children in tow, I asked if it was possible to use it. In the end, I had to decline. Then, looking at the photos, I understood why. If you have a "tub" instead of what you call a pool, tell them right away that it's not possible for everyone to use it. In any case, put someone else to answer the phone. Because if there's someone working hard in the kitchen, the gentleman who answers the phone isn't a good calling card. NEGATIVE!!!

05/08/2026: Very good food and nice service, I recommend it

05/08/2026: Thank you! It was a wonderful evening! Excellent food and service in a welcoming setting with outdoor seating.

22/08/2026: We had a lovely meal, the food was amazing and Christian looked after us so well. Really enjoyed our experience! Thanks Christian!

22/08/2026: Some of the best steaks I've ever had in my life. And I had a few in many countries!Congratulations for everything, the staff speaks English and is very polite. Keep up the good work!

25/08/2026: A fantastic experience in every way. The food was exceptional, with attention to detail and top-quality ingredients that captivated us from the first bite to the last. What made the evening truly special was the service: special thanks go to Gabriele and Emanuele, who were simply brilliant, professional, and incredibly attentive to our every need. We felt pampered and welcomed in a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended restaurant, we'll definitely be back very soon!

25/08/2026: The gnocchi and pasta carbonara were excellent. We were obviously charmed by the waiter, who must be the most senior member of the staff. The atmosphere is pleasant and quiet, close to the train station, but quite a distance away. The chairs are really uncomfortable, but tolerable for the duration of dinner.
