Why La Spezia is so special

A simple but supremely unforgettable meal at the Italian coastal town of Cinque Terre, which Sean Yuquimpo and Aaron Shiu had enjoyed on separate occasions, became the inspiration for the two setting up La Spezia in Quezon City back in 2016. And they named it La Spezia as it’s the gateway to Cinque Terre, like what Mestre is to Venice. Fast forward nine years, and La Spezia now has a BGC branch at the GSC Corporate Tower. While my eldest son, who lives in QC, is a fan of La Spezia, I had not had the chance to sample their food—and that’s my loss!
