Del Pippo da Ugo In Neirone

A trattoria serving traditional Ligurian cuisine in a historic, century-old building in Ognio, nestled in the hills of Val Fontana Buona. Enjoy a family-style welcome from the friendly and affable owner Pippo and his young, expert staff. Spectacular views of the valley await you, as you savor flavorful dishes and time-honored recipes, such as appetizers with cured meats, vegetable pies, and other delicacies. Hand-crafted first courses include ravioli with ragù and pansoti with walnut sauce, followed by tagliolini with porcini mushrooms, lasagnette, or trofie with pesto. For main courses, the house specialty is a rich Italian-style fritto misto, enough to feed two. Meat lovers will appreciate Piedmontese Fassona tartare, roast beef with herbs, veal with tuna sauce, Ligurian-style rabbit with olives, battered cod with panissette, fried focaccia filled with cheese, fried porcini mushrooms, and more. Classic desserts like tiramisu, grandma's pudding with chocolate sauce, panna cotta, and a classic tart with homemade fruit compote. The wine cellar offers a wide selection of select wines, including house wines. Generous dishes and reasonable prices! The entire group was satisfied!

Wonderful welcome and excellent food

For a restaurant in a remote location, it's really too expensive.

Always a sure thing, just half an hour from Genoa. Excellent, plentiful food. Excellent service and a very friendly owner. Twenty of us went there for lunch today, and we were all very satisfied!

Excellent food…the staff and owners, if possible, even better!

Cozy place, excellent food and generous portions!!!

We stumbled upon it by chance while out riding with biker friends. We were drawn in by the photos of the dishes. We immediately knew it was the perfect place to enjoy traditional Ligurian cuisine. The appetizers were generous. The first courses were tasty and generous. All this was accompanied by the friendly host, who made us enjoy a full tourist experience with a touch of humor and lightheartedness. We'll definitely be back. AMPLE PARKING NEXT TO THE PLACE.

What can I say about this historic restaurant other than excellent? Last time I tried it, I satisfied my mushroom craving and ate it in every way. Amazing! And it feels like home. Highly recommended!

Excellent trattoria in the Lavagna hinterland, serving traditional local cuisine, including ravioli, mixed Italian-style fried mushrooms, and much more!
