La Spezia

...and would never, ever come here during the holiday season again! Its crowded, bad infrastructure, lack of english language knowledge, hot and expensive.

However, during off-peak times, it will probably be just wonderful! But at present its overexploited during the big holidays.

Pizzeria La Pia has the BEST wood-oven pizza of all mankind. Have the version with capers and anchovies. And have some farinata- a chick-pea based pizza-like edible. YUM!
