Acqua Pazza In Santa margherita ligure

Sublime… that's an understatement. The food was stellar… sensational, and they were… friendly and wonderful. We dined there two nights in total… we tried the entire menu. WONDERFUL!

great restaurant, original dishes, tiny, only a few tables, reservation absolutely required, worth visiting

Amazing 5-course menu, outstanding quality of the products, everything was very tasteful and the service very friendly

This is one of the best places my family and I have ever visited. It's a small, cozy place with closed doors. Reservations are required, and we managed to make one a little later than we'd hoped. But the wait was 100% worth it. They prepare a masterpiece for every guest. The team consists of three people: the chef, the sous chef, and the waitress. Each person is well-placed and professional. They don't overindulge; the restaurant focuses on quality, not quantity. My husband and I ordered the five-course seafood set menu. And we weren't disappointed! It was a taste bud explosion. The presentation was also beautiful. The children (teenagers) had appetizers and a steak; my eldest daughter said she'd never tasted a better steak in her life (and she has plenty to compare it to). I highly recommend it!

We were looking at restaurants near the waterfront. We chose this restaurant and were right on target! We were lucky enough to get a table for 8:30 PM. The timing isn't because the table is full and someone will open up, but because the chef prepares food one at a time, so there's no long wait. The restaurant is small, with only 20 seats. We booked a chef's cooking class. Every dish was delicious! We've been to Michelin-starred restaurants, and this restaurant is just as good, if not better! A huge thank you to the chef and his lovely assistant!

The food was amazing! I had the most delicious ribeye here. And the pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff make this place even better.

This was a wonderful meal that both my daughter and I enjoyed. The presentation was beautiful and the food was even more amazing. Dessert was out of this world. This is a special place and the chef is amazing. You can tell he really cares. I agree he should get a Michelin star.

First of all, the food was truly excellent, but unfortunately the service ruined the experience. I had clearly communicated my dietary restrictions, yet something arrived on my plate that I couldn't eat. When I reported it, I was told I could simply give it to my partner, a response I found unprofessional. I had also specified that I can only eat well-done meat, but it was served medium-rare and I had to send it back to the kitchen. As a result, I ended up eating alone, after my partner had already finished his. A real shame, because the quality of the food definitely deserves better.

We were really lucky to find this restaurant. Excellent food and impeccable service at a fair price. Reservations are essential.
