7.5/10Very nice seafood and local wine in a side street experience (i.e. no view and lots of street and outside noise). We chose to eat outside so no complaints but something to keep in mind. There is a large inside dining area but the outside tables and chairs seemed nicer. We had tuna (raw and seared) and salmon and each had great flavor and good portions. We dined on a Wednesday night and there was one waiter for the restaurant-he did a nice job but as the restaurant filled up he was stretched between inside and outside. I did not pay attention when booking as we were near the City Center so it was a bit of a walk as the location is past the cruise terminal just off the sea. Enjoyed our meal but also felt we could have had an equal experience closer to our apartment.

10/10Best food we have had in Italy so far. The salmon on grilled veggies was delightful, Fruita de Mare pasta was great. Desserts were amazing. Go there!

10/10The food was out of this world. All dishes we had, but especially the cuttlefish risotto and the tuna tagliata were spectacular! It's a little bit far away from the center of the city but would totally recommend to give it a try!

8.5/10Good and fast service, helpful and knowledgeable waiter. I had the risotto which was nice but the fish in it was quite hard and dry. My partner had the tagliatelle and were tasty and well cooked. Desserts were nice and well plated. Expecially the cheesecake. Good value with thefork offer.

8.5/10If you like fish and seafood that isn't just fried or in pasta, this is a great restaurant. The portions are sizeable for the price, the service is accommodating and the prices are excellent.

2/10WORST EXPERIENCE EVER IN OUR LIVES! THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLE, IT HAD NO MORE THAN 300 GRAMES/PORTION (30 Euro) AND IT WAS VERY LOW QUALITY. THE WAITERS WERE RUDE, WE TOLD THEM AND THEY CONTINUE IGNORING US, EVEN WHEN WE ASKED FOR THE BILL (WITH CARD) AND LATER THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BRING THE POS AND WE HAD TO GO INSIDE AT THE BAR TO PAY WE ASKED FOR BECKS BEER AND WE RECEIVED ANOTHER ONE OPENED, SAYING THAT THIS IS ALL THEY HAVE (THERE WERE MORE IN THE MENU, INCLUDING BECKS). I ASKED FOR WINE AND THEY CAME WITH A LOW QUALITY PROSECO WE ASKED FOR BOTTLED SPARKLING WATER AND WE RECEIVED ONE FROM A TAP WITH SPARKLING WATER (ALSO 3,5 EURO) WE PAID 3,5 EURO/PERSON COPERTO FOR AN OLD BREAD WITH MOSQUITOS ON IT NEVER FELT LIKE THIS! THEY ARE RUDE AND THEY DON'T LIKE TOURISTS!

6/10Service was very chaotic. Our primi and secondi were served simultaneously. Even though we said we will share both. The waiters were very busy and kitchen seems to be 'racing' to serve the dishes. Atmosphere and food gave me the feeling they were a bit pretentious. Small portions, more effort on decoration than taste and very bling bling decor. Unfortunately taste of the food and level of service were not to our expectations. Especially taking into consideration the prices of the dishes... I recommend to get the basics right before being pretentious.

5.5/10The seafood had no flavour, everything is very expensive, and overall the quality of the food doesn't justify its price at all. Wouldn't go back there again.

8/10Really good food! we enjoyed the quality of fish and details of the courses and food presentation. The exterior is a little noisy due to a trafficated close street, and COVID restriction forced an outside dinner. I would reccomend it

8/10Very good, high quality food and the waiter was very attentive and friendly. The only small negatives was that the atmosphere of the restaurant is a bit dated, and the location is a bit far out of the central area of La Spezia but that said, the prawn and truffle pasta follow s by steak and tuna was well worth the walk! Although not strictly a very vegetarian friendly menu, they accommodated my girlfriends requests and made something for her.

8/10The location of the restaurant is a 30minutes walk from the city center, nevertheless it’s worth it! The linguine with lobster was very flavorful and delicious. The staff was amazingly friendly. If you’re looking for a quality and quiet dinner in La Spezia, this is the place to go!

9/10We definitely enjoyed the food and the drinks at this restaurant. The service was slower than average but its totally understandable, with the place being packed and only 2 waiters. Would come back again!

6/10The prices are good when using The Fork, I do not recommend to go there without 40,50 or more percent discount. Trying to be a high standards restaurant. Food was fresh.
