Al Settimo Cielo — Restaurant in La Spezia

We were scamed as tourists at this restaurant. We‘ve been there for dinner in two evenings and in the first one everything was fine. One price for one whole pizza was as listed on the menu, between 8-10€. In the second evening they brought our two different pizza orders in one single pizza, but the toppings were split in half (as seen on other review pictures). We tought that the waitress misunterstood us, so we ordered another pizza. When we wanted to pay, we saw that they doubled the price per pizza 19€! The evening before it was like 9€, but were the same size. We explained it but the owner told us that they charge double the price because the whole pizza is bigger for two persons. I asked her if they had only one size and she said yes, so this means the pizza from the evening before could not have been smaller, but they charged less ;) so please be aware that if they bring you a splitted pizza you have to pay double the price (picture inserted from the first evening)

The pizzas are truly big, in the first evening I even made a picture compared to the size of my hand, the only difference was that they charged...

I’ve been here for an hour and 20 minutes and am still here. I think they’ve taken me hostage, because I still have not gotten my pizza. Perhaps the pizza is more of a concept than tangible object. Where is my pizza?!?! lol

If you find this message, please send help. We have subsisted on 3 peach nectars, a fizzy water and a negroni that I sipped slow enough for the ice to melt. With my surviving breath, I let you know that buried our treasure at the X on the map. Be warned there be serpents and giant spiders.

PS… literally just got my pizza, and my daughter is waiting for hers. It seems the flight to Italy was for 2 but the flight back will be for 1… her grave shall be shallow and festooned with her newly purchased leather jacket.

Nope! Check that! Her pizza came. She will survive.

Now I’m not hungry… 😒

Update: my daughter’s pizza was the wrong one. I will say, despite the applied starvation, it was one of the best pizzas I ever had (top 3) in my life. Tell our story! Future...

Absolutely disgusting service. We reserved a table for the evening outside. Once we arrived we were given a table. But then immediately asked to vacate it due to staff arguing that it was for someone else. We were then asked to stand in the middle of the restaurant till they sorted this out. which was at least 10 minutes. Once we were finally given a table, it took the staff 15 minutes to give us menus. Which we had to ask for 4 times. And even then they were provided, they were in Italian. When we made it pretty clear that we speak English. We waited 2 hours for our food. During which time a table that arrived at least 40 minutes after us, somehow managed to get their food before our table. And their table was a much...
