Simply Superb - authentic home cooked italian food with panache and flair

Sep 2020 • none

Great welcome by the family who cook and serve, on Tuesday when we went for lunch it was son and mother and father. I am gluten free and vegetarian and was immediately provided with gluten free bread and a dish of delicious vegetables for my main course which were all individually tasty and cooked to perfection. There was a good choice of first course and second course simple but authentic cooking made with love and a lot of know how. Free appetiser was creamed red cabbage, various peppers which had been preserved and a local taster of soaked bread with fish and tomato. You will sit in a garden festooned with a wisteria tree that is over one hundred and fifty years old. Three of us had four courses with 1.5 litres of wine for 66 euro, such good value. Thank you for a wonderful lunch one of the highlights of our 10 day trip.

Amazing restaurant

Dec 2021 • couples

This restaurant is AMAZING !! The owner/ waitress is incredibly kind, the location is so0000 beautiful (even in December) and the food is good and really cheap. They change the menu every day, my boyfriend had lasagna and I had some delicious Ricotta/Eggplant/tomatoes rigatoni. This is the BEST restaurant we went to since we arrived in La Spezia. Plus, the waitress speaks a very good English (and we have been to many restaúrants and usually waiters don't speak English) but she had a perfect English and was so welcoming !! We'll come back tomorrow ! If you eat there, try the white wine, 1/2 liter is only 3 euros and you won't regret it, trust me. Thank you for this amazing evening ! And see you tomorrow :) Livio & Alice

Thank you very much Livio and Alice, we are really happy that you enjoyed our cuisine.

We look forward to seeing you again in the spring with our flowering plant. Thanks a lot Nello and family

Authentic Italian Restaurant, 10/10

Jun 2022 • business

Food was all local delicacies that are made fresh to order. The waitress was extremely helpful, kind and proud of her restaurant. The barman couldn't have offered me limoncelo quicker, really friendly atmosphere. All the surrounding plants make the place appealing and relaxing. This is a hidden gem in la Spezia which doesn't quite have the tourist appeal as the neighbours in Cinque Terra. The menu changes daily but offers dishes that cater for various intolerances include gluten and dairy free. We had two courses, a couple of drinks and the whole bill came to €26 (excl tips) - this was extremely good value for the quality and quantity of food. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something more authentic in le Spazia. P.s. after 8pm parking in most of the nearby street carparks is free

Authentic, worth a walk from port!

Oct 2023 • couples

We came here for lunch as our cruise ship stopped at this town. We arrived and had a nice table outside in the garden area. The food was absolutely delicious. We were given complementary anti pasti dish. Then we had 3 courses plus 1L of wine. The bill was very cheap €55 Everything we ate was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Took us about 15-20 mins to walk there from the port

The most wonderful little restaurant in La Spezia

Jul 2023 • family

Such a gem! The food is amazing and the family who owns and works there are so kind, loving and welcoming. During our first stay we made reservationa for a second dinner and the second was just as good as the first. The menu changes daily and the food tastes so fresh and delicious. The plates was empty after each dish:) Kids are welcome and it was no problem accomodating a dish due to allergies. Just the best experience !!

Delicious evening

Apr 2024 • friends

Having stumbled upon this place by chance, we immediately found a welcome and a family atmosphere. We had dinner with meat and fish dishes, all delicious at an excellent value for money. The service offered by Mrs. Letizia deserves a separate note for her kindness, helpfulness and professionalism. Greetings from Treviso

Don't go if you haven't booked.

Apr 2024 • business

I had been to the restaurant other times and had enjoyed it, unfortunately today I joined a group of colleagues and asked if it was possible to add a cover. With immense disappointment, I was denied the opportunity to have lunch on the grounds that I had not booked, the place was half empty. I recommend going only after having booked, and I recommend without adding even one person.

An outdoor garden

Sep 2024 • couples

Every time you come to Spezia, you find yourself in this corner to taste excellent local cuisine. It is an intimate family-run environment that advises you what to eat. Fish but also meat menu. All exquisite combined with a pinch of kindness and courtesy. I count more than fair. I would say a must-see

Delicious !

Jun 2022 • couples

We enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. It was tucked away and quiet, with a homely atmosphere. The food is all fresh with a daily changing menu ! We had the pesto tagliatelle and pumpkin ravioli for primo, and red fish and pork scalioppine. The highlight was dessert - we had the panna cotta and it was the best I’d ever tasted ! Would definitely return here.

Excellent food, treated like long lost family

Oct 2022 • friends

We arrived early, before they opened for dinner. Welcomed with open arms and exceptional service. The food was outstanding. Some dinners are a meal. This one was an experience. The dishes displyed the depth of Ligurian cuisine. The courtyard is a stunning oasis of peace in the bustling city.

Real family feeling

Jul 2024 • family

The food is just great and made with a huge amount of love. I have never before experienced this authentic service and family feeling. The whole family including father, mother their two daughters and son are all working together to create this athmosphere. Don't expect fancy clothes, fancy decorations or glued on service but rather straight forward, friendly, helpful and genuine love for food and people. The price level is very low but I didn't want to say that to early on because you get so much more than you pay for

Ligurian flavours

May 2024 • couples

Searching the internet, based on the reviews I decided to go to this restaurant. A very sunny and professional girl welcomed me. Family atmosphere and home cooking with good tasting and well presented dishes. Excellent quality/price ratio. I highly recommend it and if I return to the area we will definitely return. They offered us an appetizer while waiting for the first courses, which were really good. Both the first and second courses were excellent. Mouth-watering desserts... the fruit tart, as well as being excellent on the palate, also satisfied the view. They also offered us limoncello. The two of us spent from starter to dessert... including coffee... the modest sum of €48. Family atmosphere and excellent hospitality. Congratulations to the whole family.
