As we’ve mentioned, La Spezia’s menu is a delightful blend of authentic Italian dishes: mouth-watering antipasti, hearty primi and secundi, indulgent dolce, among others. Start off with their Caprese, a visually stunning salad made with mozzarella di bufala, cherry tomatoes, micro basil, and edible flower petals for a vibrant presentation that’s as delightful to look at as it is to taste. Creamy, tangy, and perfectly balanced, it’s a refreshing starter that sets the tone for an exceptional meal.
