We went here on a week night for a special dinner - and it was! The place was full so I recommend you reserve. The service is friendly but discreet (not pushy, very polite). We had a glass of prosecco to start then had a parmesan cheese tasting plate - 3 different types with a rich, perfect honey and a... More

We were staying at the B&B Villa Amaranta up in the hills overlooking La Spezia. Which is also a fantastic place that should be visited for a stay. The folks at the Villa recommended the Osteria Della Corte and we were so glad they did. In the city tucked down a side street this place is well worth finding. Park... More

The Osteria della Corte is in downtown La Spezia. It's small but very charming. The Meals are outstanding (try the Fish !). The Service is great and fast. The Spaghetti with Gamperi and Black Truffels leaves you breathless. They have an excellent and big Wine Card (the Sicilian Reds from the Aetna region are great !). Also have a good... More

Food was delicious, flavor tantalizing and quality service. Had the sea bass with artichokes in a whipped up mashed potato type....it was divine. I still remember it and savor each bite. Would love to go back, but stayed in La Spezia only 1 night. Food was reasonably priced, 2 primi, 2 fish dishes, water frizzante and vino della casa were... More

I had both lunch and dinner here the other day. Loved the fresh langoustine. Clams were slightly sandy. Shrimp crevice was fresh and delish. The only restaurant that I've eaten in the past 2 weeks that actually took the time to clean the veins. King crab was delish and had a nice crust on it. the splash of balsamic made... More

The best food AND the best service in La Spezia. Romantic, with a table setting that is upscale and chic. Our meal included a thistle ravioli, vegetable quiche, pasta with artichoke, beef filet, two bottled beers, a carafe of red house wine, a glass of dessert wine, 2 carafes of sparking water, and the five dessert sampler. The entire meal... More

Four of us ate here in reliance on TripAdvisor reviews and we liked it very much. We had two 3-course meals, two 2-course meals, two carafs of house wine (both white & red) and a wonderful dessert sampler. The total tab came to 85 Euro/couple, which we thought was quite reasonable for what we got. The veal & fungi &... More

We found this restaurant on trip advisor, it was a short walk from our hotel so we tried it out & were extremely happy we did. I believe it's a husband & wife team, he's on the floor & she's in the kitchen. The place is very welcoming and he's very helpful. He helped suggest a wine which we enjoyed... More

After a day’s visit to the Cinque Terre, we had booked a table in Osteria Della Corte before driving back to Florence. The restaurant is a 5 to 10 minutes’ walk from La Spezia train station. The overall service was good. To start with I ordered the risotto with pear as starter. The plate was nicely presented, decorated with a... More

The Chef is very kind and professional. Her food is just exquisite, innovative but based on the local traditions. Gnocchi with fish and mushrooms were delicious, as were the desserts. Well worthwhile a dinner but remember to book in advance.
