A wonderful evening at Forza 4 in Bussana.
The location right in the heart of the village makes the visit special. We immediately loved the restaurant itself: understated, simple, and designed with a great sense of atmosphere. The warm lighting in the evening, cloth tablecloths, and cloth napkins create a pleasant, sophisticated, and relaxed environment where you immediately feel at ease.
The small menu featuring Ligurian specialties is particularly appealing. For my first starter, I tried Brandacujun – a traditional Ligurian dish of salt cod and potatoes. Simple, authentic, and delicious.
My main course, Seppie in Zimino, was the discovery of the evening. Squid, chickpeas, and Swiss chard combine to create an extraordinary dish where sea and land meet in a truly unique way. Difficult to describe, but highly recommended.
To finish, we were served a mandarin liqueur in a chocolate cup and a wonderfully smooth liqueur with a delicate hint of licorice – a perfect ending.
A huge thank you to Cristian, who cooks and bakes with palpable passion. The focaccia is divine. Together with his restaurant manager, he has created a space for dining where honest Ligurian cuisine is served at a high level.
Anyone in Bussana who wants to experience the regional cuisine should definitely stop by. Tanja

It was our first time, but it exceeded our expectations. There were three of us, and we chose three different dishes, and all three were incredibly delicious. And what super sweet service and owner. For those staying in San Remo, it is worth the drive here. Enjoy your meal!

A bar overlooking the small Bussana square with a lovely, welcoming outdoor terrace.
As soon as you walk in the door, you discover its restaurant vocation.
Entering on the right, several tables are well-spaced, with just the right lighting and background music.
Cristian and Thomas juggle the dining room and kitchen with flying colors. An excellent brandacuiun and trofie with swordfish and Taggiasca olives set the tone for a return visit.
This is the Liguria that's good for Liguria, made up of young people, hospitality, and quality.
Well done, keep it up!
