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!

And they have everything you can ask for: fried snacks (French fries, fried potato skin, fried mozzarella & vegetables, and pizza squares), many different types of seafood salads (chickpeas with surimi -an absolutely delicious fish paste-, boiled potatoes with calamari, shrimp, mussels..), grilled seafood, two different pasta dishes, a giant wheel of parmigiano reggiano, slices of prosciutto, bean salads, fresh salad, fruits cups and one type of dessert. Their food is delicious, fresh, and filling. And it's definitely possible to find light & healthy options! This place became my favorite lunch spot very quickly. I must mention that the service is great--the waitresses already recognized me and knew my order by the second time I ate there!

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.

The ambiance there was very friendly. The pastas were some of the best I've had across Italy, and the the calamari was pretty good, as for the fish I liked it even though I'm a bit skittish of eating fish this way. i would recommend this redtaurant for anyone visiting. Maybe not the gold bier but the blond they have (8 ball) is pretty good.
