15/06/2026: We had a wonderful time at this restaurant in Sanremo. The dishes were delicious, carefully prepared, and full of flavor. The staff was particularly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the prices are quite reasonable considering the quality. A truly excellent restaurant that we wholeheartedly recommend and where we will gladly return on our next visit to Sanremo.

14/06/2026: We had planned to eat at Ristorante Flipper, but when our family arrived, it was fully booked. The owner told us that if we went to his other restaurant, Il Molo, they had the same menu and that we would be very impressed. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The waiter was excellent, but the food was terrible. The steak that my children received was tough and poor quality, and the lobster pasta was awful. The only things we enjoyed were the bread and the French fries. My spouse and I have eaten at many restaurants over the years, but this meal was not good. I feel the owner should have recommended a different restaurant, especially since we were dining with four children. The steak at Il Molo was particularly disappointing and not something I would recommend.

18/05/2026: We live in the area and wanted to try out a new place since we had friends visiting. Originally we wanted to get dinner, but were told the kitchen doesn’t open until 7 pm, so I told the waiter we will just have drinks and aperitivi like all the other guests had there and then we will see. We did not ask to be seated in a particular location. The waiter seated us in an semi enclosed area outside. About 20 minutes later he brought us the menus and we didn’t see anything on the menu we wanted. We had two vegans in the group and there was nothing they could eat. It was no big deal, it is a seafood restaurant so we were not insisting they make us something vegan. We did get two micro size appetizers (the size of a coin) we could eat. All other tables received potato chips (no they are not on the menu, they were just regular chips out of a bag), we did not.. again no big deal. When we said we didn’t want to order dinner and just want to pay for our five drinks, we were charged a coperto. €2 per person. I think it’s outrageous to only charge this to the foreigners who were there that evening, when we didn’t even have dinner there. I will never go back to this place again, not even for drinks and I will make sure that I let all my expat friends know that foreigners are treated differently by the owner. The waiter was friendly and told us this charge was not up to him. We go out for drinks a lot and we always like to try out new places, but the owner did not make any friends there tonight with us. It was not our fault their menu was so selective and nobody found anything they wanted to eat there. There was not even a table cloth on the table outside, so I have no idea why we were charged corpetto. I will recommend to my friends to go to My Dream. A cute little Pizzaria just a few steps further with amazing customer service and NO CHARGE for sitting at a table with a table cloth and fantastic sea view!

15/03/2026: The perfect place to eat raw fish and enjoy an aperitivo just steps from the sea. A good selection of oysters and wines. The raw fish wins over the cooked ones, but overall it's a captivating place. Recommended.

31/05/2026: Willing to find a meal for a young celiac, even though the restaurant isn't AIC certified. The owner and waitress were friendly, and they were also very helpful with tourist tips. The traditional dishes were truly tasty and plentiful. An honorable mention goes to the brandacujun a la dolceacquese, delicious. The desserts were excellent, though perhaps a bit pricey (€8) compared to the price of the first courses and appetizers (€15). Recommended!

22/05/2026: The atmosphere is refined, the food is good, and the recommended wine is good. The price is absolutely reasonable. The staff is kind, helpful, and friendly. Recommended.

20/05/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impeccable experience! Seafood heaven Dinner last night at this splendid restaurant: everything was simply perfect! We ate divinely from start to finish. The seafood dishes were incredibly fresh and masterfully cooked, and the desserts capped off the evening sublimely. The service is the real plus: elegant, impeccable, and super attentive to every detail, without ever being cold. Fantastic atmosphere and top-notch customer service. We'll definitely be back very soon. Highly recommended! 🐟🥂✨

09/05/2026: Refined cuisine, excellent revisited Ligurian recipes, trained and helpful staff

06/06/2026: Beautiful location! Poor food, preheated, dry pesto pasta, tiramisu without mascarpone but with cream. Unacceptable.

06/06/2026: We're not there, the reheated dishes were bland and didn't match the description. The tiramisu wasn't tiramisu because it didn't have mascarpone, just cream, and it wasn't soaked in coffee. The pasta with pesto didn't taste like pesto, and it was dry and difficult to swallow. Bad, sorry.

02/06/2026: Great food experience and staff are very helpful with suggestions. They are also multilingual so no languages barrier. Magical evening in historical surroundings. Do not miss this.

29/05/2026: For a hidden gem, you absolutely must visit this cozy Italian restaurant where the prices are still reasonable ☀️😍🇮🇹 Great atmosphere Everyone is super friendly and the food is excellent 🇮🇹

02/05/2026: Everything is homemade. Very good Italian food and the waiters speak French.

30/04/2026: We ate really well, delicious dishes and very kind and helpful staff.

08/06/2026: We had lunch here, three adults and one child, and we really enjoyed it: the food was excellent, everything homemade and delicious, and the prices were very fair. Kudos to all the staff, a truly superb restaurant. When we return to the area, we'll definitely stop by again. Well done!

01/06/2026: When my wife and I feel like dining out, typically on Sundays, Lavinella is a surefire choice! Recommended.

23/04/2026: A charming pizzeria in the heart of Porto Maurizio. The service is very friendly, and there's a wide selection of pizzas and focaccia with various toppings. A lovely restaurant; I highly recommend it!

22/04/2026: We went to the restaurant to eat a pizza - and weren’t disappointed! A well priced, delicious pizza made the day perfect for us! Definitely worth checking out if you are in the surrounding!

11/04/2026: This review is solely about the BUBBLE ROOM. I stayed with my husband and children in the bubble room. I booked online, and I didn't like the fact that the page stated that the pool was unusable until summer. It's true that guests can use it, but it's completely unclear in the "included" section, and considering the price, I'd say it's the least they could do. The location of the B&B and restaurant is stunning. Everything is well-kept, the brick houses, the lawn trimmed. Truly beautiful. We were greeted by the restaurant's maître d', a polite and friendly person who showed us how the gate to the garden where the bubble room is located and the air conditioning inside the bubble work. The bubble 'room' is made up of three bubbles: the first has an entrance with a sofa, the second has a double bed with a closet at the back (which contains towels, a teapot with tea and herbal teas, slippers, a hairdryer, and a bathrobe), and the third is the bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. Everything is transparent except for the bathroom, which is covered in white, so you can't see inside from the outside. There are NO curtains around the entire perimeter of the bubbles, only around the bed. The bubble is very tastefully and tastefully furnished, and there is air conditioning in the first two sections, but not in the bathroom. The main drawback is the presence of a lot of dust (this is absolutely unacceptable) and insects (you can work with it, but we're still talking about a structure without real walls in a garden, so I do NOT recommend the experience to anyone with a phobia of spiders, bedbugs, or various worms). Around the bubble is a small garden that looks quite nice, but could be better maintained. There are various tarps, poles, and random abandoned cables. Overall, it looks good; it would be worth the price if it had some special view. It's actually located in a garden enclosed by white tarps and wooden fences. Apart from the sky, there's not much to admire around. In the evening, the atmosphere is definitely more magical thanks to the well-placed lights. Breakfast is not included and costs €15 per person, but we knew about this because it was listed on the website. Overall, the experience was nice; for what I paid (€340), I would have certainly expected a little more care, cleanliness, and a minimum view. The last thing I found in terrible taste was when, handing over the keys to the bubble at checkout, I was asked if "everything was okay," and my response was interrupted with the phrase, "No, but I meant regarding the payment." What kind of manner is that? Furthermore, the lady then chased us to ask for the tourist tax (2 euros) while we were almost at the car. All fine, if it weren't for the completely wrong attitude. Not a smile, all you care about is money. Without asking customers how they enjoyed their stay, you chase them for two euros... if this is how they do business, I don't know if they'll go far. I went into a lot of detail in this review because when I was looking for information before booking, I didn't find much. I hope this comment can be helpful to anyone who's booking the experience, because let's face it, it's not exactly cheap. I should add that the location is in a mountainous area and there are several highly rated restaurants nearby, but there's not much else to do. I don't recommend this experience with children; it's definitely better as a couple.

06/04/2026: Despite our special needs, we always appreciate the care and attention given to us by the owners and staff. A special shout-out to the maitre d' and a 10 out of 10 for the chef. Excellent Easter lunch. A heartfelt thank you from our friends in Sanremo. Scarella.

24/02/2026: It's a lovely restaurant, on a quiet little square away from the tourist crowds. There's very little foot traffic. A great find; we go back every time we're in San Remo. The food is good (especially the trofie al pesto!) and the waiter is very friendly. 🤍

05/11/2025: The atmosphere, food, and service were excellent...it's a shame about the prices, which are now prohibitive for many restaurants.

16/05/2026: An address like this is one we wish we could find more often in Sanremo. The portions were so generous we wondered if we'd been invited to an imperial banquet rather than a simple dinner 😄 Delicious cuisine from start to finish, quality ingredients, warm and attentive service, with those little touches that transform a meal into a truly memorable experience. The value for money exceeded all expectations. We arrived hungry and left practically rolling. A fantastic find, thank you to the whole team!

16/05/2026: Good value restaurant...for Sanremo...very good desserts...I had a good time...I recommend it...to those like me who had a short weekend...and I knew almost nothing about Sanremo.
