Farinata Ai Cancelli In Savona

A quaint, family-run place with a fairly helpful and friendly staff. In my opinion, it used to be probably the best farinata in Savona, but now it seems to have slipped in quality, becoming too thick and greasy. As for the food, the menu offers excellent dishes at reasonable prices. It's always best to book a few days in advance, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, as it's always busy.

Excellent farinata, generous portions!!!

Even though the place was full, the service was fast and impeccable.

An experience definitely worth trying, though some caveats are necessary. The place is very rustic, resembling a converted workshop. Furthermore, the service is provided by a team of very willing but mostly inexperienced staff. This leads to some inattention (yesterday during my dinner, three orders were incorrect for the people at our table next to me, and when paying at the register I had to "reconstruct" my orders because those from that table had been mixed up with mine). But when you eat, these aspects are easily forgotten, as the food is tasty, the portions are good, and as a Ligurian, I can also say that the flavors are just right. I would call it a rustic but authentic experience. The parking lot is not far; there's a very large one at the base of the hill leading to the restaurant, as well as others nearby. I recommend booking, as yesterday, despite it being a Sunday, it was packed.

If you want a fantastic farinata. A very strange, fun place, with very nice waiters and... everything is so good.

Everything excellent and very good

The welcome and service were impeccable. The food was excellent, from the farinata to everything else.

Excellent service, good farinata, delicious desserts, we'll return

Exceptional farinata! Wide selection of appetizers and main courses. Welcoming but small restaurant. The outdoor olive grove is splendid, perfect for dining in the summer.

A menu with numerous variations for those who love farinata and a typical Ligurian dish. Decent service, with young and very friendly staff, but the wait for the farinata is a bit long, so I suggest ordering a mix of appetizers while you wait (the panissa is a must-try!). The place is very noisy and rather simple. It could be tidier and cleaner for our tastes. A covered outdoor area is available for those who want to dine al fresco. Good value for money.
