It’s a local restaurant. Highly recommend this dish “PORCITA AL FORNO CON PATATE”. It was delicious but portion a bit small. ( We ended up ordering 3 portions) The other dishes were good but nothing special to shout out. Overall it was a great dinner! Also, don’t forget to book in advance!

The food and service was fantastic. Real authentic pasta and mouth watering. We had made a reservation the day before (highly recommended as it’s one of the few restaurants in the town) and we’re the first ones to arrive. Will say we felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable being seated away from everyone else that arrived (everyone else was under a tent in the main patio) and we were the only ones off to the side alone. C’est la vie, just something to consider. Do recommend it to everyone visiting.

Excellent local cuisine, maybe the best in la Spezia. Top quality dishes and good prices. The only cons: the staff talked no English at all and the road has many many turns.

Food is good but the service is absolutely not the best. Specially when you are not Italian!

We tried the pasta with creamy mushrooms sauce and that was good. And the steak is quite a bit tasteless for us, need some sauce. I looked around and people have the starter with cold cut, homemade bread and some white sauce maybe with cheese

The restaurant has a lot of potential but unfortunately the staff was really unfriendly, I think mostly because we were tourists and not locals/Italian. The food was okay but a bit dry. We did not feel welcome at all.

We were a little bit before opening time but we asked if we already could enter the restaurant, the staff was not happy with us sitting there and we didn't feel welcome. The meat was dry but the pasta was fresh. It seems they only like locals . Around the corner there is a nice pizza place i recomend .

Very very bad experience. The boss of the place was super rude, like he don’t even like customers. Especially tourists – he look at us like we are stupid or annoying. We just wanted a nice dinner but the Restaurant Manager was extremely rude and the Food was average at best!!. Also the bill was way too high – they charged us more than the menu said!!! Worst place we eat on our trip. Don’t go!!!

The food is solidly good. But be careful - the owner (bald and tattooed) treated us like dirt. You get the plates slammed down like I personally wouldn't even throw food at a dog's feet. The dislike towards non-Italians is very noticeable. In addition, we are charged for things that we definitely didn't order, resulting in a price of €50 per person (I'm happy to pay that - but then it has to be worth it). Sorry, no matter how good the food is. This guy is anything but a cordial host. The bad comments about him are definitely justified. He will probably reply and deny everything. It's a shame, because basically everyone in this place is friendly. But there always has to be a black sheep. And just to let you know - that’s NOT a fake comment. We’ve been there yesterday!

Denied drinks and food two nights in a row, even though they are open and people are inside enjoying themselves. I guess they don’t like non-Italian people. I’d rather take my money somewhere else, maybe the nice pizzeria a few meters away called Tra Monti e Mare. There I felt welcome and the service is amazing.
