Hungry & weary, we opted for the only tho f we could find open at 12:30am - a Viking/heavy metal bar with food- sigh. Surprise - the food is excellent, the beer is excellent, the service is excellent. My wife & I both had the wild boar stew served on a bed of polenta- it was fantastic. If you are not very adventurous or if you are too old at heart to handle heavy metal music (I grew up on it in the 90's so it was like a trip back to my 20's) maybe it's not for you, but if like having fun & tend to find it wherever you are you will probably think it's very cool like I

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!

We went to Accanto based on reading the two reviews posted here. It was quite busy and we had no…read morereservation so we sat at the bar (which we like to do anyway). Nico, the bartender, is a master mixologist whose creativity and execution of the cocktails were only surpassed by his friendliness. (Try the Ernesto!) Being vegetarians, it can sometimes be a challenge to find something beyond the typical Trophie al Pesto, but Accanto had no problem making us happy. The Magliatta and the Raviolis were amazing! The wine list was quite reasonable and they were very helpful in assisting us in our choice. We were back for lunch a couple of days later and had wonderful crepes with asparagus. Alessandro, our waiter, was always right there to recommend something and answered all of our questions. He gave us a tour of the wine cellar and showed us the patio in the back which would have been great if we were there in the summer. The next day, colleagues had arrived and after dinner at another restaurant of their choice, we took them to Accanto for desserts (and Ernestos!) They were all great but the Tirami Piu was the favorite of the group. They loved it so much we were back for dessert 2 nights later with even more people. Finally, our last night in La Spezia, we had dinner there again. We started with the cheese plate called "Not the Usual Cheeses" and they meant it! The flavors were amazing and the owner, Andrea, provided us with a list and description of the 8 cheeses in Italian and English. After dinner, he brought his wife, the chef, over from the main restaurant next door where the food is prepared to say hello. We love this place and will be sure to go back the next time we make it to La Spezia!

Our table liked all the pastas, especially the carbonara. We also tried some local specialities such as the pork cheek at our servers suggestion and really enjoyed that as well. Only the octopus salad wasn't so-so, would suggest passing on that. Service was excellent 5/5.
