Osteria Giobatta — Restaurant in La Spezia

We had dinner at this restaurant, which specializes in regional cuisine. Since it was the off-season (March), although we were asked if we had a reservation, there were available tables, and a reservation wasn’t necessary. We each ordered a starter and a main course. For starters, we had marinated salmon salad and octopus with potatoes, olives, and green beans. For the main courses, we chose stuffed mussels and pansotti with walnut sauce. The food was simple but tasty. The menu is small, which we found to be a good thing. I especially appreciated that they brought a whole bowl of parmesan with the pasta—so I could add as much as I wanted. If I were to recommend one dish, I’d say the stuffed mussels were our favorite. However, one suggestion would be to toast the bread but keep it a bit fresher—it was way too hard. Luckily, the bread served at the table was a much better match for everything. We also ordered vegetable ratatouille as a side, and...

Even though the atmosphere looks great I can tell you that the food was to expensive and poor quality. We ate fritto misto, fish witch was like 50 g for 22 euro had some potatoes and one tagliata di manzo witch we asked to be weel done because it was for our kid. It was like you can see in the photo, but that wasn”t the real problem because my husband could eat it but it was the worst meat ever, it was like gum. It is such a shame for a nice restaurant like this to lack in food The fritto misto was reasonable but it had a lot of bone fish. Even though I told them that the meat wasn’t eatable they didn’t care as you can see we payed for it, we at least expected some apologies but they were to busy to put the people on the table or to speak with each other. I do not know why do the have such a good score. It is not normal that a restaurant witch has just a few dishes to make...

Racist, discriminatory, and disrespectful

Horrible service needing to wait long periods of time to order.

Food was awful. RAW beef was served despite asking for medium, presentation of food was horrible, consistency in food was not there

Atmosphere was terrible, was put at the front highly likely due to being asians. very discriminatory and did not service us well. Tables were shaky and had a lack of space for our cutlery and utensils. Door was left open (during winter) hence the cold air and strong winds were freezing us, DESPITE wearing 3 layers of clothes.

They are racist and disrespectful to us, not even thanking us for dining with them, despite thanking other non-asian customers.

Highly do not...
