The restaurant will be a wonderful choice if you want to try great cocktails as well as seafood dishes—all the ingredients harmonize and complement each other nicely. Unfortunately, if you are vegan like my girlfriend, it becomes more challenging, as this is clearly not the restaurant's specialty. However, it was very pleasant when a very polite and discreet waiter asked if we enjoyed everything and suggested trying another dish from the vegan selection. Later, we were also served a complimentary dish from the chef. And before we left the restaurant, the waiter gently helped my girlfriend put on her coat- very gentleman! The service is truly top-notch—it's a pity that tips can't be included in the card payment and must be left in cash, so be prepared for that.

We had a wonderful time for dinner. They accommodated us with a reservation (by email) less than 24 hours in advance, with our baby. We arrived to a table already prepared with a high chair in the garden, and to our delight there were other children and babies, so we definitely felt welcomed and in a family-friendly environment. They even had a changing table in the bathroom, which has been something very rare so far on our trip. The service was stellar, very kind and attentive, and the food itself was also extremely delicious and creative. Incredible wine selection. Our favorite restaurant by far during our stay in La Spezia, well worth every penny :)

Excellent restaurant with high quality food and super friendly staff. Definitely worth the price. Both pasta were amazing and the octopus was one of the best ones I’ve ever had.

This has been the best meal in Italy so far (and the priciest!). They are very aware of how to accommodate gluten allergies. Today's food porn: Osteria della Corte in La Spezia. Don't show up without a reservation, even for lunch. The servers are very kind, have the right sense of humor, and navigated us through our choices. It was so good, in fact, I need to share the entire list of our meal: Purple prawn carpaccio with focaccia crumble and tomato (so good). Spaghetti with oil, garlic, chili, prawns and burrata Organic Fassona fillet with “caffè de Paris” sauce (yellow curry?!) Szechuan Pepper Ice Cream with Coconut Bonbon and Liquid Liquorice Bronte pistachio semifreddo with lavender sauce “Custard” with almonds biscuits(amaretti), rum and chocolate Also, this is the only place that actually offered us gf bread. It was just so nice to not have some generic, dry, bad tasting pre-manufactured effort. They confessed they didn't bake it themselves, but it was so good we asked for another basket which they obliged. All this came to 155€, so that's pretty pricey, but we'd do it again. And again and again. I'd even say go out of your way to eat here even if La Spezia is not in your plan.

Lovely dinner in a beautiful setting, stylish and filled with character. There is a touch of history that contributes to the experience. The cocktails were quite memorable - The Nox Out is definitely a favorite from now on! The food is delicious and elegantly presented. Many thanks to the Chef who created a masterpiece. Well done - quality, star quality food and attentive, professional service in elegant surroundings. Delightful!

We ate here twice in the same day. It was our best restaurant in La spezia. The food and desserts were delicious and the wine list was extensive. The owner was very welcoming and the service was excellent. Especially for dinner when we came on a rainy day, we couldn't find a taxi back to the hotel. Even though the restaurant was busy and there were many customers, the owner drove us to the hotel. So we are happy to say thank you very much for your kindness and great food.
