La Spezia's restaurant scene centres on Via del Prione and the surrounding streets. Seafood is the thing here — the Gulf of La Spezia supplies fresh catch daily, and you'll find mussels, anchovies, and branzino on most menus. Prices are noticeably lower than in the Cinque Terre villages.
Ristorante-Pizzeria Fratelli D'Angelo
Via del Prione 268, tel. +39 0187 737 203. A reliable local spot serving excellent seafood and pizza at reasonable prices. The house wine is good and the garlic bread is worth ordering.
