Osteria all'Inferno dal 1905 is highly regarded in La Spezia for its authentic and high-quality Ligurian cuisine. Reviewers frequently praise the cuttlefish ink pasta and the traditional pesto, noting that the food feels freshly made and rich in flavor. The seafood offerings, particularly the stuffed mussels and smoked fish carpaccio, are highlighted as standout dishes. While the interior is described as charmingly rugged and atmospheric, some guests mention it can get quite warm inside. The service is often described as machine-efficient, though a few visitors noted it can feel a bit impersonal during peak times. Overall, the combination of local prices and exceptional food makes it a top recommendation, provided you book ahead to secure a spot in the busy cellar.
