Ristorante Locanda Pescarino
Lerici, La spezia
01/07/2025: I took the very basic and inviting land menu, each course surpassed the previous one, I also have to try the other proposals... thanks for your kindness and availability
29/06/2025: Great experience, restaurant found by chance.
The road is a bit narrow, you get there by driving by inch but in the end it is all worth it for an excellent lunch of quality and taste.
Definitely worth going back to.

I Castagni
Zignago, La spezia
06/07/2025: A pleasant evening, we had dinner in the garden, under a cozy wooden roof, it was nice and cool, very nice and clean place.
The meat was amazing, a 1.5 kg Florentine steak, perfectly cooked, rare and tender as butter, the service very courteous and familiar, to return
08/06/2025: We went to this place two nights in a row: the first for the pizza, which we found very good despite being slightly burnt. We liked it enough to return the next night to try the restaurant.
We ordered a first course and a second course: the gnocchetti were nothing special, they seemed packaged. The tagliata, on the other hand, was good and soft, accompanied by baked potatoes and a salad (three leaves of number for 4 euros). The portions seemed decidedly small to us.
With a bottle of water and a 33 cl beer, we spent 54 euros. The place has a somewhat cold and anonymous atmosphere, with no background music, and overall it didn't give us the feeling of a real restaurant.
If we were to pass by these parts again, we might return for the pizza, but not for the restaurant. We didn't leave with the feeling of having eaten enough or of having had a particularly pleasant experience.

Enoteca Dei Bardi
La spezia, La spezia
28/11/2024: La bonita institución cerca de la calle peatonal. No hay muchos platos. Este es exactamente el bar de vinos. La selección de vinos es realmente enorme. Diferentes regiones, diferentes castillos.
También puede pedir algunas aceitunas, queso y platos de carne.
No hay mesas dentro. La terraza exterior solamente. Hace calor, pero puede ser incómodo entonces hace frío afuera. Tómelo en consideración.
20/09/2024: A wonderful place to have an aperitivo . Sylvia is a very knowledgeable mixologist!! A charming friendly environment. Their aperitivo snacks are of the highest quality. Delicious cheeses, meats, crisps etc. They also provide a more extensive menu all cooked by their sister establishment, Restaurant Andree, just across the street. Don’t miss this little jewel in the centre of town!

I Fondachi
Sarzana, La spezia
13/07/2025: The place is very beautiful and charming. The focaccias are excellent.
The desserts are fabulous.
The owner is friendly and kind.
Unfortunately, the wait is long and it's too noisy; voices echo and you can't even talk to the person next to you.
08/06/2025: We ate focaccia, very good and tasty.
We can suggest to improve waiting time.
A pleasant dinner.

Ristorante Quintilio
Altare, Savona, 30-45€
04/07/2025: The owner is very welcoming and friendly, the place immediately gives a good impression of order and attention to cleanliness
Food is average but not excellent.
We had ravioli del plin which were definitely good, but minestrone, tuna and other dishes were somewhere between decent and good.
Wine list is very very pretentious, perhaps a bit too much; here, fortunately, we are not at the Billionaire......
Prices are definitely high, they did not seem justified by the quality.
18/06/2025: Really delicious, super friendly service and we even had a big parking space for our sports cars!

A Spurcacciuna
Savona, Savona
14/07/2025: One of the few restaurants in Liguria that doesn't attract tourists.
The dishes are carefully crafted, perfectly presented, and of excellent quality. The wine list caters to all budgets, with markups in line with the restaurant. Attentive and courteous service.
The only downside (in my opinion) is the exorbitant prices, significantly above the norm for a restaurant of this kind...
So if you're on a budget, you're in the right place.
12/07/2025: Quality cuisine. Excellent sushi. Impeccable service. Beautiful location.

Drinks at the village .....so much stuff!!!
Restaurant?
Wonderful location..... possibility to adapt according to your needs.
EXCELLENT cuisine!!!
The pastry chef?.... FANTASTIC !!!
The staff ....excellent.
Polite, prepared....present, but not excessive.
Gabriele, the owner, ....as the groom said "has the ability to transmit tranquility" .....he is an exquisite person.
What can I say, you have an important occasion to celebrate....do you also simply want to be pampered in the palate and soul?....this is the right place.
Thank you for making a special day.....memorable!

Trattoria la Braia dal 1933 di Conti Fabio
Cairo montenotte, Savona
03/07/2025: Authentic Ligurian-Piedmontese cuisine!
22/06/2025: Good food but €300 for 6 seems excessive to me for 6 various appetizers (anchovies, a taste (and I'm generous) of bagna, vitello tonnato, salami, raw ham and caciotta, 5 first courses, 1 second course (tagliata), 3 bottles of Barbera (€15 each but one was offered by the owner), 6 desserts, 4 bottles of water!! You didn't even give us a receipt, at least you could have given us a discount. As the owner used to say "Ligurians don't complain like the others, they don't come anymore" and so we will, never again!!!

Ristorante Il Vescovado
Noli, Savona, 30-45€
20/05/2025: There is no doubt that going to a restaurant like this has high expectations
The location is five stars, or even more
The staff is kind and attentive just right, without being too pushy, but always present.
The sommelier was the person who fascinated me the most, passionate, competent, with a touch of lightness and a strong personality: compliments
Mise en Place light and elegant at the same time (the chairs are too low for the tables though)
Bread, focaccia and oil (of their own production) very good
The fish products are not of great value, apart from the caught sea bream, the rest, bonito, cuttlefish, white shrimp.. but this does not mean anything, in fact the bonito was the best dish...
The presentation of the dishes... Beautiful but not fantastic.
The cuisine
The famous Adriá olive, too thick but I really appreciated the inside.
The other small insignificant entrees
Good sea bream carpaccio: period. Instead, the Pernambuco with gin, brought in combination, was worthy of a wow
Bonito, as already said, perhaps the best dish or rather, it could not have been cooked better and also the combination was definitely spot on, the garlic mayonnaise, perfect consistency, balanced flavor, special dandelion.
Red mullet with ciupin... No wow... The ciupin combined with the red mullet was very pleasant, if tasted alone, it had a hint of sweetness too much.
The cuttlefish was nothing special, I would say delicate, but in reality it had little flavor and the sauce was too strong.
Worthy of note instead was the revisited buridda!! Great idea and also very good
The pasta: a good product, but here too no wow... Also because white shrimp are not really "pasta"
The cod with a flavor too strong
The rabbit... Alas, the rabbit!! Out of respect for the chef, I'll just say the rabbit, alas.
The cute and pleasant dessert and that's it.
In the context, it didn't live up to expectations.
But.... There's a but... Everything I tasted of vegetables was instead special, both as a product and as a chef and I think I would have been much more satisfied if I had chosen the garden menu, and if I were to return I would definitely choose that one..
I gave three stars to the cuisine, not because it is an absolute three star, but evaluating as always the whole context
I'm almost sure that with the other menu my vote would have been higher...
02/05/2025: Exceptional experience in this starred restaurant. Impeccable service, attention to every detail. Refined food, with the right and balanced portions. Ingredients linked to the territory expertly combined with fine national wines.
Advised.
