I migliori ristoranti in La spezia

14/08/2026: Perfect from start to finish. A far cry from the unappetizing restaurants by the port, this is the complete opposite. You're greeted with a smile, the food is well-prepared, and it's delicious. The panna cotta is excellent, and they even offer you a complimentary iced cappuccino. An excellent place.

14/08/2026: Really recommend this Restaurant. The food was amaizing…i had the seafood linguini and my husband hat the seafood rissoto both were amaizing…but we would recommend you the linguini😉. The atmosfere in the Restaurant was nice and homie and the waiters were really friendly.🥰

08/08/2026: A beautiful place to eat delicious lasagna

06/08/2026: I almost never write reviews, but this time I felt compelled to do so because I believe this place has potential, and I'd like to offer some encouragement and constructive advice. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere in the little square and among the tables: a relaxed, welcoming, and truly pleasant environment. The menu, deliberately simple, offers an interesting blend of Ligurian and Moroccan traditions, harking back to the origins of the family that runs the place. An idea I really appreciated. A special mention goes to the stuffed mussels: they took me back to the flavors of home, to the ones my grandmother used to make when I was little. It's been a long time since I've had such good ones, and for that reason I'll remember them fondly. I would, however, like to make a couple of observations with the sole purpose of helping us improve. One of the girls who served us was certainly kind and helpful, but she was a bit rushed with her service. On more than one occasion, he tried to take our plates away while we were still eating, and the clearing was done very quickly, spreading a certain anxiety throughout the table. These are minor details, sure, but it's precisely the details that make the difference to the overall experience. The other thing that left me perplexed was the bill. In my opinion, the quality-price ratio is slightly unbalanced, especially considering the locals. With these prices, tourists probably come once, eat well, and leave satisfied. As a local, I, on the other hand, would gladly return... but not at this price. We spent €35 per person for dinner, plus €13 for wine, for a total of €48. For a dinner like this, it seemed rather high. And it's a shame, because I really liked the place and would have loved to visit more often. At this price, however, I'd end up choosing other options. I hope this review will be read in the spirit in which it was written: that of someone who had a lovely evening, ate well, and would like to return, perhaps finding a few small improvements.

31/07/2026: Top-level courtesy and quantity!

20/07/2026: Perfection! Despite it being July and the heat, the Cabrero red wine was the perfect temperature, the timing was excellent, the Fiorentina steak was perfectly cooked, and the side dishes were perfect. Nothing to complain about!

03/08/2026: As already highlighted simply to try

02/08/2026: "Mr. Vessicchio" provides the best service. Others don't offer the same level of care.

19/08/2026: 10/10 because 5/5 wouldn't be enough to describe the quality of the products. We spent several days in La Spezia and tasted various products. Then we asked a local lady, and she recommended this place below her office, and it was an exceptional recommendation! We had the best farinata of the trip, an exceptional Genovese (soft, medium-thick, and slightly crunchy), both plain and with sausage and broccoli rabe. The staff was courteous, helpful, and fun! Not your typical tourist spot, but local, high-quality products, and exceptional value! Highly recommended.

16/08/2026: Chickpea farinata and cheese focaccia are delicious and reasonably priced.

15/08/2026: The meal was absolutely wonderful. Though there were 6 of us, the service was delightful, fast and to say the least, comforting. The food beyond delicious, the cocktails authentic and the atmosphere harmonious. Grazie mille! 🫶🏻

15/08/2026: Amazing restaurant. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing staff. Amazing food. Amazing experience. Grazie mille!❤️

23/08/2026: Excellent and unique bruschetta bread, perfect and very fresh toppings. Fast service. Private location close to the city center.

23/08/2026: Food was great, but they sometimes add an extra beer to the bill for tourists. Otherwise, very tasty.

15/08/2026: Friendly staff and a Pizza to die for. Especially the Pizza with Pesto was wonderful. Will come again!

04/08/2026: Perfect in every way, warm welcome and delicious pizza.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

21/08/2026: We've been going for years. Excellent food. Excellent value. Farinata and Recco are spectacular. The food is also good. Good selection of desserts. The tiramisu is excellent.

19/08/2026: Excellent food and friendly staff, except for the lady with short hair, who was annoyed, stressed, and not very friendly. The young staff, on the other hand, were excellent, focused, and smiling. Delicious pizza and focaccia, decent desserts. Reasonable prices, and a simple atmosphere.
