The people here care about your experience and they go all the way to make sure you have the best meal and experience possible. Then there is the fact that you are dinning in a 13th century building in a town that dates back to the year 100 b.c. when it was a Roman fishing village. Now it is home to colorful buildings and fine dining at Torre. The food was amazing, and seriously...THE BEST Tiramisu of my life. The guys that run this place are super nice as long as you follow one easy rule...be chill and take the time to slow down and live the way the Italians do. Viva la Vita is the way to go. The seafood...fresh and delicious. The wine...Italian and delicious. The views...breath taking. The sounds...soothing. The rest is up to you. I Love you Italy...grazie mille!

The drinks were ok. If you want a bar, that's a little more out of the way of the tourist area,…read morethen this is your place. BUT DO NOT GO HERE FOR FOOD. It was pretty clear when we got there that it was a bar, and that the food would be minimal - but we didn't expect it to be as bad as it was. We ordered a lasagne al ragu which tasted boring (I am pretty sure I could make a better one myself, I should expect better from Italy), a spaghetti al mare which turned out to be undercooked risotto with frozen seafood and it looked like cat's vomit on the plate, and the schnitzel, which was as hard as a chip, inedible, served with a pathetic excuse of a salad with dried out carrot and limp lettuce. After a complaint, this was replaced with chicken bits which looked more like old mussels with a bit too much spice. The service was pretty terrible also, there were only three tables in the restaurant, and the main waitress did not serve anyone without them motioning to her, and the service was slow and many mistakes were made. We asked for water, which didn't turn up, and then when it did, it was a tiny plastic bottle, barely enough for two, with only two glasses where there were three people on the table (and it was clear it was water for the table). One of the tables in the restaurant were clearly good friends of the owners, and she paid far more attention to them than anyone else. She was giving them hugs and kisses, and while this is not acceptable to start with, she didn't wash her hands afterwards, and then continued to make drinks and serve food. She also was far more interested in lighting the candles for the tables than serving her customers. At the beginning of this review, I said don't go here for food, but really I would suggest you don't go here at all. There are plenty better restaurants in La Spezia that are 3000% percent better and half the price.

Well.... The waiter when asked if there was seating…read moreavailable said "yes there is but I will not seat you". Ok.... I believe he thought we interrupted his conversation with his friends however we waited a good 5 minutes before asking the question thinking maybe he didn't see us standing there. Anyway, it went down hill from there as we took a picture of the entryway to remember the name as we thought we might review this incident later. The waiter then started yelling at us that it was illegal to take pictures... Wow... super good service and a boxing match threat... Ok so we went next door and ordered... The wait staff at the restaurant we settled on said "dont worry about that waiter next door he gets in arguments all the time with people." And so he did... as he approached us again with the woman manager saying stuff about illegal photography... once again way to aggressive and way to unprofessional.. Actually 1 STAR is to high.... I would recommend you avoid this one...

This is a lovely Summer bar on the beach.

The downside is that drinks are quite expensive and it is a little out of the way as it is in Marina di Pisa. There is a regular bus service running from Pisa bus station to Marina di Pisa though but it stops around midnight. I would say it is well worth the effort though.
