Hosteria Bertolini

It was a lovely restaurant with great food but they received no communication from the Fork therefore there was no reservation for me. They gave me a table anyway.

Nice little place on top of the hill, view on La Spezia from the road, service was great and kind even with my broken Italian, food excellent, can only recommend this place if you are staying around La Spezia etc

Very nice dinner with typical dishes, friendly staff and relaxed ambiance.We will be back!

I wish i had realized that all the good reviews of this place were from years ago. Staff spoke good English. Service was not very good though. Servers seemed to cater to locals or friends that were in the establishment and put tables of visitors to the back burner. Meals were not paced very well, long waits in between courses. The table of locals had a decently paced meal… seemed the rest of the tables that did not speak Italian had slow service as well. The food was okay, nothing to write home about.

The restaurant is a beautifully eaten restaurant, a beautiful view of la spezia, friendly staff and a good price.
