Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Peaceful haven in the center of La Spezia, train station district... a welcoming but small terrace, and a spacious room that preserves privacy. The service is impeccable and friendly, with an experienced waiter listening and almost multilingual... and a very elegant and interesting menu, on the land or sea side.We went there two nights in a row: lasagna, pork cheeks, parmesan eggplants, schnitzel, anchovies/burrata... excellent! And the deserts are not forgotten! The original tiramisu and lemon sorbet... a nice table, an interesting wine list, in short I highly recommend!

Typical, welcoming, intimate place.
The Maitre d', a professional from times gone by, accompanies you in the choice of dishes and wines, with the kindness and sincerity of a true family man.
Memorable dinner.
All perfect.
Thanks for the experience.

We spontaneously passed by this restaurant in La Spezia, we hadn't made a reservation, but luckily we got a table straight away. The restaurant is run with great passion, the food is traditionally excellent, the service is warm and professional. We were simply delighted.

Christmas lunch 2023. Starters: 1) cake with breaded yolk, which was still partially frozen and with the presence of egg white; 2) three champignon heads stuffed with breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, neither cooked nor raw; 3) piece of fried or roasted (?) polenta with a slice of lard and three cherry tomatoes, which would have liked to be confit but were instead boiled. First courses: 1) block of saffron risotto (Milanese style?) with some cheese sauce (dare I say leftovers of various cheeses); 2) tortellini (dry pasta) in meat broth (brown colored broth), far from a good meat broth. But the highlight was the boiled meat served almost cold, accompanied by a stalk of celery and a carrot that had not been completely cleaned, boiled and seasoned, with a drop of mustard and three drops of parsley sauce. Finally the dessert: roughly cut pieces of panettone and pandoro with a spoonful of cream. I would like to say to the owner: if the cook had suddenly fallen ill and the kitchen was switched to the dishwasher, he could have mentioned it, if vice versa it was an organized thing... well my question is: why did you humiliate the customers in this way? We had the opportunity to see astonished and disgusted customers when the boiled meat arrived: two French gentlemen, close to us, left (perhaps they were pressed by other commitments); a lady stayed for a few minutes turning her fork around on her plate of boiled meat, surely looking for something she couldn't find... I knew that during the holidays the food is a little less refined, but perhaps this time you exaggerated. We promised ourselves to avoid similar experiences in the future. We hope that some tourists also have other (good) memories of our Italy

Quando si ricevono recensioni negative ( per fortuna molto rare ) il primo pensiero è di preoccupazione e di analisi molto seria del nostro operato per verificare se sono stati commessi errori ( non pretendiamo certo di essere sempre perfetti e siamo coscienti che può succedere) e per mettere in atto le misure correttive del caso al fine di riuscire a soddisfare la nostra clientela al meglio delle nostre possibilità.
Se però si ricevono recensione di questo tono ... beh, allora ci sentiamo molto meno preoccupati.
Le negatività evidenziate in modo così capillare ed estremo ci fanno ovviamente pensare che, per qualche motivo più personale che reale, il cliente ha voluto semplicemente riversarci addosso tutto il suo veleno al di là di qualunque motivazione obbiettiva...
Uova congelate? Aglio nè cotto nè crudo? Pomodorini lessi? Formaggi avanzati? Tortellini secchi? Brodo Indefinibile? Bollito freddo? Verdure sporche? Dessert grossolano?
Accidenti... Anche se davvero avesse cucinato il nostro addetto alle pulizie, per una semplice legge di statistica, almeno un piatto sarebbe riuscito a presentarlo in modo decente... E invece NO! Tutto, indistintamente, una catastrofe totale!
Non solo ... La perversione più assoluta è stata di avere volutamente umiliato tutta la clientela che, "attonita e disgustata", rigirava la forchetta nel piatto "sicuramente" cercando qualcosa che non trovava...
Ma ... per piacere!!!
Allora tutti i complimenti ricevuti in occasione di quel pranzo (e non sono stati pochi) saranno stati dettati da incompetenza, convenienza o completa deficienza?
Anche ammettendo che un cliente possa essere stato deluso da una esperienza culinaria, prima di tutto poteva dircelo subito e sicuramente avremmo preso dei provvedimenti per favorirlo, ma è perverso che (dopo due settimane di meditazione profonda e quindi intenzionale sul caso) si senta in diritto di "sparare panzane a raffica" distorcendo la realtà a suo esclusivo e personale interesse di pura malignità!
Ah, e poi...
Non abbiamo mai avuto la pretesa di rappresentare il nostro paese nella considerazione dei turisti che vengono in visita da noi.
Ci basta rappresentare noi stessi, il nostro lavoro e la nostra professionalità.
E quando i nostri clienti ci dicono di essere stati invitati a venire nel nostro ristorante dalle raccomandazioni dei loro amici o connazionali, ci sentiamo orgogliosi del nostro operato e ne andiamo molto fieri.

If you want to treat yourself to a good meal during a holiday evening in La Spezia, or even want to taste Italian cuisine, I recommend this restaurant.
A delight, the staff really pleasant and very kind. We ate our fill for dinner. Indeed the dishes may seem high on the menu but once you see the plate you will not be disappointed.

Good restaurant which also has a wine shop. Super pleasant dinner, beautiful dining room, impeccable service and even class. The dishes are very good. Special mention to the desserts revisited chocolate tart with lightly salted caramel sauce, very good seafood soup. Very good presentation of the dishes. Good value for money

I'm sorry but unlike the reviews we read we were not as satisfied. The place is beautiful and the waiters in the room are very kind. The menu had little choice and, unfortunately, not all the dishes were appreciated (lobster too stringy, appetizers not memorable), the best dish in our opinion was spaghetti alla guitar with seafood, perhaps the evening wasn't the right one...

Innanzitutto ci dispiace ovviamente di non avere soddisfatto le sue aspettative.
Ci consoliamo, d'altra parte, deducendo che erano derivate dalle tante recensioni molto positive di persone che si sono premurate di comunicare la loro entusiastica soddisfazione.
Può anche capitare la serata non favorevole ma... la prendiamo come "battuta": chiunque sa che non sarebbe motivazione decisiva per esprimere un giudizio obbiettivo.
Un menu con otto antipasti, nove primi, sette secondi e nove varietà di dessert potrà sembrarle limitato ( e il suo parere è ovviamente insindacabile in quanto personale) ma è la primissima volta che ci viene fatto un simile appunto.
Le nostre preparazioni sono sempre molto curate e riteniamo ideale la dimensione del nostro menu per garantire la qualità dei piatti. Oltretutto variamo stagionalmente la lista e la nostra bravissima Chef sta già preparando il menu autunnale che sostituirà quello attuale.
Un piatto non l'ha soddisfatta? Magari era "stopposo"?
Poteva parlarne, al momento, con il personale di sala che è solitamente molto attento alla soddisfazione della clientela e preposto a prendere le misure del caso.
Beh...
Capisco le recensioni positive che invitano gli utenti a frequentare un locale dove si ha avuto una buona esperienza.
Capisco anche quelle negative che sono utili a dissuadere altri utenti dal provare esperienze spiacevoli.
Entrambe, a volte, magari precipitose ma che comunque testimoniano una impressione reale avuta in quel momento.
Non ho mai compreso appieno queste recensioni che esprimono un giudizio "mediocre" basandosi su una unica fugace esperienza.
Dovrebbe essere logico capire che una esperienza "nella media" non è un giudizio definitivo.
Potrebbe tranquillamente trasformarsi, in una successiva visita, in una esperienza ottima o pessima.
Però la recensione rimane come indice della qualità di un ristorante.
E' davvero necessario esprimere un parere del genere?
Siamo convinti che il mondo lo trovi interessante e non aspetti altro che essere a conoscenza del nostro autorevole giudizio?
La mediocrità di un ristorante non dovrebbe essere determinata da una frequentazione un poco più assidua?
Chi legge queste recensioni dovrebbe pensare di decidere di frequentare un locale "a suo rischio" sperando che gli vada fatta bene?
O forse è sufficiente insinuare una qualunque forma di dubbio, così, buttata là, per sentirsi soddisfatti di "avere lasciato il segno"?

cozy and warm place with delicious and balanced dishes. Great choice of wines with excellent desserts. I took the ravioli with ragù with excellent homemade dough and perfect ragù and then finish with vanilla flambè ice cream that gave a great end. Everything great

Be prepared for a fine dining experience from people who know that great ingredients make great meals, and the execution is sublime.
Ivan our waiter was extremely professional and explained the journey brilliantly, he was backed up by our chef Alessandra who absolutely smashed it.
This place is up there with some of the best I’ve dined in around the world. Go – you won’t be disappointed, trust me!

Waited too long almost an hour before ordering.
4 people arrived after us served before us.
We had to ask to chill our bottle of white wine.
Stuffed mussels so nothing sensational.
Excellent tuna tartare.
We have been waiting for 1h30 for our 2nd dish.
We had to request our dish at 10:40 p.m.
These arrive and we are very disappointed Reheated Escalope.
Baccala served with chips!!
We definitely don't recommend this restaurant.

Serata piena, locale traboccante di persone, una sala quasi esclusivamente occupata da un gruppo numeroso prenotato già da un paio di mesi... (e meno male che capitano serate del genere!)
Questa coppia chiede di mangiare da noi.
Prospettiamo una lunga attesa anche solo per sedersi ad un tavolo e, in seguito, per l'ordinazione e la cena.
I clienti si rendono disponibili e aspettano che si liberi il tavolo.
Nel frattempo arriva un altro gruppetto di quattro persone con le stesse richieste e anche loro rimangono in attesa di un tavolo libero.
Il primo a liberarsi (dopo una discreta attesa) è il tavolo da quattro che prepariamo e utilizziamo per fare accomodare le quattro persone, poi si libera anche il tavolino piccolo e facciamo accomodare la coppia.
L'attesa si prolunga per tutti, la nostra cucina è piccola e oberata dal lavoro e comunque avevamo preventivamente avvisato i clienti di questa prospettiva.
A fine cena i quattro si dilungano in complimenti e ringraziamenti mentre la coppia no: ci sottolinea la lunga attesa e ci contesta la qualità dei secondi piatti serviti ( cotoletta riscaldata?? un fritto non si può riscaldare e va preparato al momento, per forza! ... baccalà con patatine?? e allora? non si tratta certo di prodotti industriali ma di sottilissime fettine di patate, preparate e fritte dallo chef, che accompagnano sempre il nostro baccalà per creare il contrasto croccante che caratterizza il piatto).
Comunque, vista la innegabile lunga attesa, togliamo questi piatti dal conto e ci scusiamo dei disguidi derivati dalla straordinaria mole di lavoro della serata per dimostrare la nostra assoluta buona volontà di rispettare e soddisfare la clientela in tutte le circostanze.
E' sempre un dispiacere non riuscire ad accontentare un cliente e, fortunatamente, è molto raro che succeda, ma il dispiacere più grande e frustrante è che, nonostante l'avviso esplicito della lunga attesa, nonostante tutta la buona volontà e condiscendenza e nonostante non avere fatto pagare i piatti contestati ( che, solo a titolo di curiosità, non sono certo tornati indietro intatti ma abbondantemente "mangiati") certe persone si sentano in diritto di esprimere e comunicare al mondo intero il loro "autorevolissimo"(??) giudizio non positivo, affermare implicitamente che questa è la consuetudine nel nostro locale e che il ristorante è assolutamente da sconsigliare!
Questi clienti non torneranno?
Beh... meno male!
Al solo pensiero ci sentiamo sollevati.

Roma has a subdued exterior that can be easily overlooked but shouldn’t be. Similarly the main entrance may causes some confusion with bottles stacked from floor to ceiling - you might think you’re in a wine store instead of a restaurant. Patience and a discerning eye will be rewarded when you enter the restaurant. It is tastefully decorated and contains some lovely idiosyncrasies that make it both beautiful and unique.
Ivan, our host, was an outstanding server. Professional, attentive, and able to balance helpfulness with being overly eager.
We had the five course sampling menu which included appetizers and dessert. During the tasting journey your learn about the local cuisine, traditions, and the chef.
Lastly, this is the type of restaurant that is meant to be an experience, not just a quick meal. If you want a quick dinner you may be better suited going elsewhere, but if you desire a delightful dining experience this is a great choice.

This restaurant will blow your mind! One of the best places we went to on our entire 2 week trip to Italy. The ambience is absolutely gorgeous with soft jazz in the background playing as you enjoy your beautiful meal. The presentation of every item is so delicately placed and aside from presentation, the taste is insanely good. The staff is so sweet as well. 10/10 must go!

Booked a table for two last night here and it was spectacular. The food was honestly some of the best ive ever eaten- we had truffle pasta, iberian pork and spaghetti and it was phenomenal. The price is a little expensive but so worth it. The waiter was so attentive, and informed us about all of the food we ate. He was also fluent in many languages. Absolutely worth a visit if you love food, we were given many gifts from the chef and was very pleased to find that she was a woman! 100% one of the best places to visit in la spezia.
