La Nuova Spezia Dei F.Lli de Lisi G. e F. C.

Firstly I should say, the address is totally wrong. The food is very fresh, especially lobster and shrimps, they tested sweet. I must recommend the chili sauce, I am crazy about it!

Fantastic! I don’t know who indicated 3 euros, but it is extremely reasonable (with the great exchange rate on the dollar at the moment). If you visit La Spezia, YOU MUST STOP HERE! Everything is excellent. The owners are brothers and will be great with suggestions. Do what they say, order what they say, and you will have a ball.
My wife and I came here after travelling for a week through Spain and France and this was easily the best meal we had all trip. It was also an excellent value. GO HERE!!!

Visited here tonight by suggestion and loved every minute! At first look into the restaurant they appeared to not be any guests but as we walked in we found there were other rooms as part of the restaurant. The owner was the friendliest and brought many «presents» to our table — appetizers of anchovies and seafood bruschetta, chocolate cake with raspberry sorbet, café, and limoncello. Every group that walked in the door was treated as family and we witnessed many «presents» being brought to each of their tables.
I ordered the highly recommended special, per the owner — baked Seabass and veggies — so creamy and fresh. My wife ordered the homemade tagliatelle with lobster, also amazing. The freshly made tiramisu was the best we’ve ever had.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and found La Nuova Spezia on Unilocal.It was one of the most memorable dining experiences we have ever had. The owner and his brother came to our table many times to give us food to sample. We love seafood and everything was super fresh. We met the fisherman who works for La Nuova on our way to finding the restaurant. We were the first ones there and were treated like royalty. The creamy Lemon-​cello and Blackberry homemade liqueurs were delish too! When I go back to La Spezia next year, I’m definitely returning to La Nuova! Thank you for a wonderful experience and add more special memories to our honeymoon!

My two friends and I were staying in La Spezia for a few days, and I found La Nuova Spezia on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. It was an amazing meal and a great experience, at a very low price! I don’t know why Unilocal shows this place as being 3 Euro signs, because it’s not expensive at all. Our meal was under 60 € for 3 of us.
We had the ravioli with nut sauce, the spaghetti bolognaise, the mussels with garlic and parsley, the grilled fish, and the fried calimari. The ravioli was delicious and the most outstanding dish we had, and everything else was great. The fish, mussels and calimari were simple but tasty and prepared very nicely, and everything arrived very quickly. The spaghetti was slightly al dente and was a very nice dish. We also had the house red wine, and although we aren’t big wine drinkers, we all liked it!
Angelo the owner was maybe the highlight of our experience, though. He was SO nice, jovial and friendly with us; we don’t know Italian, but he didn’t skip a beat and made us feel really at home and welcome, which we appreciated a lot. I highly recommend this place to anyone staying in La Spezia!

Amazing find! Seafood pasta was wonderful, with mussels, clams, and calamari. I’d rather eat with locals than other tourists. And very reasonable.

We were fortunate enough to bump into an extremely engaging couple (Bernie and Dawn) from Canada who invited my wife, son, and myself to join them at La Nuova Spezia for dinner for what they described as the best seafood and service in La Spezia.
We were not sure if we could make it after trying to fit in some of Cingue Terra that day but made it to the restaurant before they finished there meal and was able to join them where they had been dining each and every night at this restaurant for each of the 4 or 5 nights they were staying in the area. Let me say that we were not disappointed and Dawn and Bernie were spot on as describing the restaurant as one of the best seafood experiences in Italy. They were returning from a visit 5 years prior and the owner even remembered them.
As for ambience, this is a local restaurant with more local clientele than touristy and located not far from the marina. The restaurant is a 2^nd generation of a fisherman/​restaurant family that fish each day and serve what the catch providing an incredible opportunity to take advantage of what is freshest of the day. This is a restaurant that targets the local residents and aims to provide you with excellent fresh food at a reasonable price founded by principles passed down a generation.
One of the owner/brother’s (Angelo) was incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond. With Angelo’s limited English and my limited Italian, we were still able to communicate in a fun and enjoyable manner that we did not experience in all places we traveled. After informing Angelo of my gluten free allergy, Angelo went above and beyond to bring us mostly dishes that did not contain gluten and also brought some dishes containing gluten for my son/​wife but would make certain that I knew what I could not eat. We did not order off of the menu but simply asked Angelo to bring what he thought we would like in a family style setting and we were not disappointed.
After 10 days in Italy while traveling Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan, we all ranked La Nuova Spezia as our favorite dining experience of the trip. Let me say that we had many fine dining experiences during our visit also. Thank you Dawn and Bernie from Canada.

Hearty, traditional Italian fare. Good sized portions and very tasty. Ambience was noisy but has a fun buzz to it. Friendly service and the seafood was very fresh. We had the lobster pasta, seafood risotto and grilled sea bass — flawless. Dessert and coffee was a letdown though.

Restaurante familiar e maravilhoso, comandado pelo senhor Francesco, que nos recebe e nos acompanha desde a chegada até a saída. Além disso, dá dicas honestíssimas de pratos especiais do dia, inclusive para dividir, o q deixa a conta mais amena. As porções são generosas! Eu e minha mãe nos fartamos. Ainda fomos agraciadas com cortesia de mexilhões, além de torta doce feita pela sua mãe naquele mesmo dia, e doses de licores de amêndoas e melão. Voltei 2x!

We went to dinner here tonight. Great service and great food. Would highly recommend this establishment. A little off the usual strip but well worth the extra few minutes walk.
