Il Ristorantino di Bayon — Restaurant in La Spezia

This place was recommended to us, sadly we followed the recommendation and went. This was our first very bad experience in a restaurant in Italy. Even though the food was generally good we were extremely disappointed by the service.

We arrived and there were only 4 people at the restaurant, it surprised us (recommended restaurant in the center of La Spezia and 4,4 star reviews).

The waiter was very professional and we enjoyed his service very much. Although the restaurant is situated in a small alley, it was still an...

Since the first day of my trip in liguria I wanted to visit this restaurant, it just seemed sympathetic. On the third day I also succeeded, I went there with my wife. The food was great, perfect portions fair price. The ambience is great perfect for people who appreciate pleasant background music as well as a more "quiet" restaurant where you can have a good chat. I fell in love with this restaurant concept as well as this...
