The door of Osteria del Bai opens onto an intimate and refined setting. A hint of the soul of those who have passed through remains in the air. It is said that Garibaldi drank his last drink here before leaving for the Expedition of the Thousand.
And today, on the bathroom door, cork plaques continue to nail the signatures of the illustrious faces of the present who pass through.
The dishes arrive in sequence and tell the story of the sea without repeating themselves. Some are bold, others are already preceded by their fame - like Blu del Bai.
A magical place, a place to return to again and again.

OSTERIA DEL BAI
A historic restaurant, Osteria del Bai, a warm, welcoming, and different place...beautiful!
The restaurant is housed in an ancient tower built to guard against Saracen raids.
The tables arranged along the thick walls where the cannons once stood to defend the place create a unique and unforgettable atmosphere.
Ancient revolutionaries like Garibaldi and popes have passed through here...there's plenty of history.
Attached to the tower, a glass-walled room provides natural light and a pleasant sea view.
The red tuna tartare with hazelnuts is unique.
The cappon magro, the linguine with scallops, garlic, oil, and chili pepper, baby squid with turnip greens, paired with a fantastic "bolla" (a typical Ligurian dish), an excellent Ligurian Vermentino, followed by a "tiramiago" soaked in hot coffee, and finally a glass of Amarone grappa, make the experience something we'll definitely be repeating.
Congratulations, Agostino.
We'll be back.
Highly recommended.

I went here for lunch today with two friends. I was looking for a restaurant with that wow factor, and it definitely met my expectations—both visually and especially in terms of my stomach! We had lunch at a super cute table, a bit secluded with a view of the sea nearby: the sun on our faces was priceless… The service was friendly, pleasant, attentive, and never intrusive. The quality of the dishes was very high. What can I say? Highly recommended for making a good impression!!! I'll definitely be back and recommend it just as much.

A very beautiful and evocative location. The dishes, besides being beautifully presented, are also very tasty, made with top-quality ingredients. The service is attentive and pleasant; perhaps the only flaw was the slightly long wait. We'll definitely be back!

A welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes prepared with quality ingredients make this restaurant a safe bet. The cuisine blends tradition and creativity without overdoing it, offering balanced and beautifully presented flavors. The wine cellar deserves a special mention: surprisingly rich and varied, with wines for all tastes and excellent recommendations from the staff. A place worth trying and eager to return to.

An excellent, finely furnished and renovated restaurant.
Superb cuisine, from the quality of the ingredients to the culinary offerings, culminating in a refined and classy plating.
Attentive and refined service, unlike anything you've seen these days, except perhaps in a few Michelin-starred restaurants.
In short, a great discovery we'll definitely return to. Kudos to the chef and the service!
