Hosteria Bertolini

Nice little place on top of the hill, view on La Spezia from the road, service was great and kind even with my broken Italian, food excellent, can only recommend this place if you are staying around La Spezia etc

Hosteria Bertolini is rude to English speaking guests and does not honor reservations made on The Fork. Their listing should be removed. We made reservations on The Fork for Hosteria Bertolini on a Monday evening at 8:30pm. We received the email from The Fork confirming our reservation. When we arrived at the restaurant, I told the host that we had made reservations on The Fork for three people at 8:30. He immediately said he had no such reservation, without even looking. I said that I had received confirmation of the reservations from The Fork. He waved his phone in the air, and without even checking it, said there was no such reservation. I asked the host if there were any table available. He immediately said they were full, though I could see that more than half the restaurant was empty. I asked if we could wait for seating and he said they would not have any tables available that night. We were discriminated against because we were Americans, speaking English. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING.

Vale la pena.
