Bar-Restorant Spiranca

Absolutely marvellous. Fresh fish and easily one of the best I have ever eaten in my life. Go for the seafood platters (both the starter and main course). Also loved the gin and tonic and the way it was served. Also fantastic service - they were extremely attentive and asked us how the meal was going etc. All in all, our favourite restaurant in Albania…check it out!

There are meals that satisfy hunger—and then there are meals that stay with you forever. This was the latter. Tucked away on a quiet stretch of the coast, this family-owned Italian restaurant delivers something rare: food with soul. The mom runs the kitchen like a symphony, cooking each dish to order with ingredients harvested straight from the family’s own farm. We’re talking wine made from their vineyard, cheese and olive oil pressed on-site, vegetables picked that morning, and seafood so fresh it might’ve been swimming an hour ago. Everything we tasted was outrageously good. The feta melted like butter. The pasta was tender and deeply flavorful. The sauce reminded me of my childhood Sunday dinners with my Italian side of the family. What makes the experience even better is the warmth of the family. The son, who runs the front of house, welcomed us like old friends. He guided us through the menu with so much passion and gave us some of the best recommendations we’ve ever had—especially the wine. Their house wine is nothing short of phenomenal—bright, balanced, and better than bottles twice the price. You come here for the food, yes—but you stay for the feeling. Of being cared for, of eating something made with real love, and of stepping into a way of life that celebrates simplicity, seasonality, and tradition. This isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a reminder of how food is supposed to taste.

Fantastic food and service. Fresh seafood and local wine. We had a fish soup, grilled octopus and their famous dish - octopus in a tomato sauce. Great place for celebrating with friends and family. Highly recommend this place.

I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re visiting Durrës. The food was exceptional! So much flavour, very fresh, a great selection of seafood and many other options. The staff were very welcoming and went above and beyond to make our visit the most enjoyable. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely return in the future.

We decided to spend our last night in Durres to check and pick the most recommended place based on Google, and here we are. This place is amazing! I wasn't expecting such a good evening, food, staff, and the climate. Totally the best pick to spend your last night here. Food was TOP TIER level. Fresh, juicy and we needed to order more bread to eat everything as the sauce was so delicious. We ordered their special secrets and you won't regret it. You will thank yourself for that! And for rakiya!

Had lunch during the trip to the south of Albania. Excellent restaurant, all praise and recommendations. A varied menu with affordable prices. The food is very tasty, all fresh. Excellent homemade grapa raki and olive oil. I would especially like to point out the kindness and helpfulness of the owner, great.

The atmosphere, the food, the service is second to none. I want to bring Mama flowers we had salad, appetizers, pasta and fish served table side. I couldn't resist the HOMEMADE Cheesecake.. the wine, the music. So Good

Really nice food, the people here are really nice and welcoming. The food is nice and safe. They talk about this a lot, the food being safe. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone thinking about eating here
