Trattoria La Nuova Spezia - LA SPEZIA

Down to earth, no frills, local trattoria with excellent seafood. Luciano was very serviceable and recommended some dishes which were fantastic- the mussels, sepias and seafood risotto were incredibly good. Highly recommended!!

The food is delicious. Good portions. The price is Ok. And above all, Fiore, the owner, offered us a warm and friendly welcome, helped us to choose the best dishes. We loved this restaurant.

I’ve been going to this restaurant for 48 years . My parents were Italian so I started going with them. Then took my own children and husband and now also friends. We knew the original owners and now their 3 sons Giovanni chef) Fiori Luciano have taken over. Family business, well run, excellent food and smiles from everyone. Would recommend… lovely fish dishes and pastas

I loved how friendly the staff was and how incredible accomodating and just getting with them are. 10/10 would recommend vegans in the area. I had spaghetti with tomato sauce and wouldn't look back. Just what I needed for my trip to Italy.

We went to the restaurant thanks to Happycow advice. First comment: This is a seafood restaurant next to a loud street and there are very few vegan options. Second remark: When I said to the owner, I was vegan, he had a very negative reaction that imitated me a kind of strangulation (really akward and unrespectful, we almost at this point. The pasta was good (still very simple presentation). But in the end, in the last invoice we were charged at 6€. After payment my friend went back to ask for a refund and the owner said it was for service. Even when he said, I thought it was overpriced, he didn't get any explanation for any refund. As a result, I would definitely not recommend this restaurant for vegans. There are much better and more beautiful options in the city. Updated by previous rating on 2022 07 03
