I migliori ristoranti in La spezia

05/11/2025: My husband and I ate here on our first night in Monterosso on October 27, 2025 and we both agreed that it was the best food we have ever had. We ordered the baked sea bass and it was beyond amazing. It was simple as far as preparation, but the flavors were complex and the fish cooked to perfection. The young man who deboned our fish at table side was so very sweet and quite good at his task. If we ever are lucky enough to return to Italy, Ristorante Ciak will be on our must visit list.

31/10/2025: We stayed in Monterosso twice over the past few years and ate at Ciak every night. The food, service and atmosphere is amazing.

09/07/2025: Incredibly delicious pizzas, we would love to come back again.

05/07/2025: Very good place, both for the environment and for the service. Very cheerful staff.

10/10/2025: Small venue, friendly staff with years of experience, a long-time favorite for students from various local schools. Affordable student prices.

11/09/2025: Very good food 🤌 And the service was very nice ❤️

27/05/2025: Che dire un ottimo ristorante, ben curato, personale gentile e preparato ad ogni esigenza e pronto a consigliarti. Partendo dall'antipasto al dolce e una goduria per il palato. Piatti curati e ben presentati la qualità del cibo è ottimo e freschi.

27/05/2025: Entrare a La Lucerna di Ferro è come immergersi in una sinfonia gastronomica dove ogni piatto è una nota che vibra dolcemente nell’aria, accompagnando la cena con grazia e intensità. Qui la cucina non si limita a soddisfare il palato: racconta, emoziona, avvolge. Si inizia con gli antipasti, un vero e proprio omaggio alla tradizione Ligure-Toscana. Ogni assaggio è un’eco autentica del territorio, capace di evocare storie di confine, di colline che scendono al mare e di ricette custodite nel tempo. È un inizio che accarezza, preparando il palato con eleganza e calore. Il primo piatto è una vera rivelazione: gli spaghetti ai frutti di mare sono eseguiti con maestria, in un equilibrio perfetto tra la sapidità del mare e la delicatezza della pasta al dente. Ogni boccone è una melodia che si apre e si sviluppa con profondità, lasciando un gusto persistente e armonioso. I secondi di pesce sono la degna prosecuzione di questo concerto di sapori: piatti curati, intensi, cotti con precisione e rispetto per la materia prima. Il pesce è protagonista assoluto, raccontato con passione e servito in composizioni che uniscono semplicità e raffinatezza. La Lucerna di Ferro è un’esperienza che va oltre il pasto: è una serata accompagnata da sapori che suonano insieme, in perfetta armonia. Un luogo dove tornare per lasciarsi trasportare ancora, nota dopo nota. Come sempre, una certezza!

04/11/2025: Nice location right on the sea, fresh fish, well-presented dishes, super efficient staff, excellent value for money.

02/11/2025: I didn't like the quality/price ratio. It was 50/60 euros, and they even made a mistake in the bill by charging an extra bottle of wine.

12/07/2025: Gran selección de pizzas, contamos 68 en el menú. Servicio amable y decoración sin pretensiones. Menos costoso que muchos otros lugares en Levanto, ya que está justo fuera del centro histórico. Popular entre los lugareños y la comida es buena.

11/06/2025: Après avoir crapahuté dans les montagnes, ça fait du bien d'aller manger ici. Lieu simple et rassurant, on s'y sent à l'aise, tout le monde est gentil et les pizzas sont très bonnes, pour un tarif contenu.

19/10/2025: So I'm writing this review after going to dinner on Saturday night. I'd been there ten years ago and was curious to try it because I'd read some negative reviews. So my experience was 100% positive. Obviously, it's a bit Spartan and the location isn't the best, so if you're looking for fancy places, definitely go elsewhere. We were served promptly and courteously, and after 10 minutes the pizzas arrived, which were very good. After 5 minutes the Panigacci arrived, also very good, with cured meats and cheeses. We had beers, water, wine, and Cokes, and we had dessert, and we spent less than €22—I'd say excellent! Then, a very important point: it's a place where they do karaoke and play music, so be careful if this bothers you or you're sensitive to noise, don't go. But if, like us, you also appreciate a bit of chaos, a bit of music, and maybe even like to sing a little, then it's the best! So, to sum up, my opinion is more than positive, and I'll definitely be back!

18/09/2025: Aside from the incredible mess, the food is more than acceptable. You can't be too demanding given the truly low price...

30/10/2025: Very good focaccia and pizza. Very kind and attentive staff.

25/10/2025: Very disappointed. Prices are too high. You can't afford to pay 15 for a pizza, as if it were a gourmet pizzeria. Spending 110 euros for 5 people, just with water and 2 desserts, is a real rip-off that wasn't worth it. Very kind staff and cleanliness too. We're in the Cisa variant, not in Portovenere. Lower the prices on all fronts. In my opinion.

25/04/2025: A delightful lunch stop: Caesar salad and salmon salad, with superb caramelized onions! Excellent wine. Simple but clean service. We'll definitely be back!

25/10/2025: The hotel is nice, but there were some flaws in the room, including the bathroom door. The lady at reception who welcomed us was very kind and helpful. She let us reserve the room at the Booking price, which obviously included taxes. But no, in the morning at checkout, her colleague added €18 to our bill for the tourist tax.

24/09/2025: Extremely friendly staff, beautiful and functional room with sea view, meticulously cleaned, quality bath products, welcome cocktail, rooftop terrace with spectacular views, excellent breakfast with quality products, excellent value, a five-minute walk from both Fiascherino beaches and a ten-minute walk to Tellaro. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: Beware, unruly and aggressively violent staff! After climbing the stairs from the station, we passed this little restaurant. It looked nice and cozy, but afterward, we deeply regretted sitting there. We had ordered various drinks and food, and we had ordered water for our two small dogs. When we gave our dogs water, we were attacked by a waiter. He said we were dirty people and that dogs aren't equal to people. In other words, the dogs deserve tap water instead of bottled water. We then asked for the bill and canceled our food. The waiter wanted to argue with us, which I didn't want to do. While paying, I briefly left the table. Then the waiter decided to curse my wife and spit at her. I decided to say something, and the waiter then came after me with a broken bottle and attacked me with it. The waiter used force and tore off some jewelry. Fortunately, the owner intervened afterward, and the waitress was dismissed. Because we're "unfortunately" tourists, the police won't do much about this. The owner offered us free food, but we declined for our safety and that of the dogs. We didn't get our money back, and no compensation was given for my broken jewelry. Unfortunately, the waitress in question wasn't fired; this was due to a lack of staff. That's why I say, beware of this restaurant!

29/10/2025: Nice little restaurant with a fantastic view. The food we ordered tasted absolutely delicious. Nice waiters. Recommended 😊

01/08/2025: Weer een ervaring rijker. Lijkt alsof ik in een aflevering van Fawlty Towers terecht kom. NO GO. Gastvrijheid was er niet.

01/08/2025: Ik heb nog nooit zo’n onbeschoft personeel meegemaakt, we hebben fles wijn besteld en een cola die pas na 20 minuten kwamen toen we de 2de keer hadden gevraagd waar ons drinken is. Voordat we ons drinken kregen vroegen ze al om eten te bestellen. Het voorgerecht was prima, ik had de laatste hap in m’n mond en ze stonden al met het hoofdgerecht terwijl de net leeg gegeten borden er nog stonden, die werden zo uitgewisseld en dooreten. We hadden er wat van gezegd dat we t niet oké vonden dat we niet eens ons voorgerecht fatsoenlijk konden op eten voordat t volgende eraan kwam. Het personeel kon dat niet waarderen en waren onbeschoft en begonnen te hard en intimiderend te praten “wil je het eten of niet anders gaat t terug naar de keuken maar je gaat t wel betalen”. We konden geen antwoord geven en ze pakte onze onaangeraakte borden weg. Ze zei tegen ons dat de keuken om 9 uur dicht gaat, vonden we raar dat t niet vermeld was wanneer er om half 9 naar binnen kwamen. We gingen betalen en er waren 2 nieuwe tafels die gewoon rustig nog eten konden bestellen om half 10. We vroegen waarom wij zo snel moesten zijn en we kregen t antwoord “Is het jouw restaurant?”. Zeer onbeschoft persoon, geen reclame voor de horeca Italië, schande. Als je een leuke gezellige avond wilt met een leuke sfeer van de personeel zou ik hier niet heen gaan. Geen woorden voor het personeel, het was niet normaal… Ze willen zoveel mogelijk geld uit de tafels halen, klant is niet koning maar klant moet opschieten en wegwezen. Voor de “oudere” t is alsof je in een extreme aflevering van Fawlty Towers terecht komt.

25/09/2025: Beautiful location, excellent food and friendly staff

28/10/2025: Excellent restaurant!! A typical restaurant where I enjoyed delicious croxetti with pesto and ragù and excellent Ligurian-style rabbit. Highly recommended!!

22/10/2025: A real discovery for me, a celiac. I ate their homemade gluten-free ravioli, which you often can't find in restaurants, and they were delicious. The roast beef and fries were delicious, all gluten-free, at a fair price, and the lady was very kind.

21/10/2025: A historic, beautiful, and elegant place. Excellent selection and quality of pastries. The cappuccino is also very good.

19/10/2025: Excellent pastry shop and restaurant
