Il Discovolo La Spezia — Restaurant in Riomaggiore

So many red flags and yet I still chose to give money to this place. I would have run away from this place as I was waiting for my food but I had already paid, and I didn't notice many of the strange things until afterwards.

Everything is cooked by the microwave. There is a conspicuous sheet behind the pizza counter the blocks your view into the "kitchen." I heard a microwave beep several times. This would also explain why my food took so long. With two people ahead of me and only one microwave, it is slow! I also saw the owner recycle several bottles of Barilla tomato jars..

Even the tiramisu seemed to come from a frozen package!!

100% would not return. And I only chose this place as a last resort because I really wanted pasta. If I paid a third of the price of my meal, MAYBE it would have been okay. I mean, the food was edible. But c'mon, don't microwave your...

What can I say about this place?! We were there for lunch and a sign said the the place will open at 12:30. Seeing that it boasted gluten free options and that the opening time was very close, we opted to wait nearby for the place to open. In the meantime my wife and daughter went to see the food options listed by the door. At that time the owner came sulking about, mumbling that they will not be open for a while and that they should wait (as they were doing). Seeing that other food places were teaming up with customers and that there were enough options to go about, we just left the place and the sad lady to herself. I can't judge the food, as we didn't buy...

I like the vegan options. I wish there GF and vegan options. I like the pesto lasagna and vegan Rahul lasagna. The ravioli was okay, very filling. It’s affordable and convenient. Near the station. But I didn’t like getting the heavy foil wrapping. I also didn’t like the cutlery included and containers included. I think it’s be better to get paper cutlery and containers to reduce carbon footprint. Overall, it was good. The staff was nice and gave information. Cash only is not good. I wish there was debit and credit option. Pesto seems like the specialty. I wish the chickpeas has protein and veggies on top to make it more filling.

It’ll be good to get MORE...
