A Spurcacciuna In Savona

13/09/2025: Tonight I dined at Cantuccio Insaporito in Vado Ligure, and I left feeling truly satisfied. It's one of those places where you enter already convinced it will be a pleasant evening: the atmosphere is welcoming, well-maintained, and decorated with tasteful materials. The chairs—note: very comfortable—make all the difference, especially after a long day. The dishes are prepared with refined care. This evening, they featured a seasonal ingredient that I particularly love: fresh porcini mushrooms. The porcini and octopus dish was absolutely memorable—perfectly balanced, with intense yet not overpowering flavors. The appetizer offered a selection of tastings, all of the highest quality. I was particularly impressed by the oyster: fresh, well-cleaned, and served just right. The seafood pasta dishes are also very rich in seafood—you can taste the quality, well-measured, and well-prepared catch. The wine list is extensive and comprehensive: there's something for everyone, with labels that also draw on local producers, showcasing the local area without overdoing it. Although the price is in the mid-to-high range, the quality and experience more than justify it. If you need to choose a restaurant to celebrate something or simply treat yourself to a dinner that leaves you with no regrets, this is the place to be.

13/09/2025: The hospitality and service were excellent. We ordered the cantuccio appetizer, beautifully presented and prepared with fresh fish. The octopus with fresh porcini mushrooms was excellent, the fried mushrooms were exceptional, and the paccheri with sea bass and vegetables in a white sauce were delicious. Everything was simple but refined and high-quality. Prices were in line with the service offered.
