The dining area of La Spigola occupies a prime spot just steps away from the water of the beach at…read moreGolfo Aranci. This fine dining bistro featured a small menu of fresh seafood dishes with impeccable, attentive service. We started with the Insalata con Calamari Fritti, a mixed lettuce salad topped with calamari; the Cozze di Olbia al Pernod, mussels with a delectable Pernod (French spirit) sauce; and the Tagliolino ai Sapori di Mare, thick strands of pasta in a creamy tomato sauce with shelled mussels/clams and chopped squid. For our seafood selection, we ordered a whole rockfish, cooked in the oven and topped with a chunky tomato sauce and served with roasted potatoes. While the presentation of the fish was nice, the fish itself was undercooked and not particularly flavorful. My favorite dish was the Trancio di Pescato del Giorno, three fillets of amberjack, served over sautéed greens and topped with tomato sauce. This dish was also a bit undercooked, but the crispy skin and the vegetable sides made this a tasty dish. Overall, the atmosphere and service at La Spigola were top-notch, though the execution of some of the seafood dishes could've been better.
