La Spezia - SEA CLIFF

First time eating here. Ordered fried calamari to go and it was the worst calamari I have ever experienced. Granted, all fried calamari suffers a little during takeout and can lose its crisp- but I will always throw good take out fried calamari in the air frier and re crisp it up and it's delicious. This fried calamari was not. First of all, it reeked of fish smell.. fried calamari, takeout or not, should never smell fishy. But there was a strong fish odor emanating from the takeout bag containing no other seafood.. it smelled awful. Tried it, and thankfully it didn't taste rancid as its smell may have indicated.. but it was chewy, dry and flavorless. The rest of the food was pretty decent.. but I can not get over that horrendous excuse for fried calamari.

First time to La Spezia but it won’t be my last. Service was very attentive and pleasant. The restaurant was crowded but the staff were constantly in motion caring for the guests. The food was very good The half portions were huge and enough to share. The homemade fettuccine was light and airy My only little criticism is it was noisy. The acoustics need improvement. But that minor complaint won’t stop me from returning very soon. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
