Garitta Bar In Torriglia

21/08/2025: Elegant atmosphere and courteous, prompt staff. We discovered the Universale restaurant by chance but were pleasantly surprised. The dishes are well-prepared: beautiful to look at and delicious to eat! The black lasagna and the amberjack steak are highly recommended.

11/08/2025: Looking for an alternative for dinner in Lavagna, since the restaurant we'd previously visited was closed for rest, we landed on this one. The interior is sophisticated and elegant, and the restaurant also has a large indoor terrace. The staff was friendly and welcoming. During the first evening, we explored several options on the menu. We started with a "yellowfin" tuna tartare with Tropea onion jam. The tuna was fresh, and the combination with the sweetness of the onion jam created an interesting pairing. Next, the grilled octopus on mashed potatoes and pesto stood out for its well-cooked octopus and balanced flavors, making it a remarkable dish. We then continued with a wood-fired asado. The positive experience of the first evening encouraged us to return the following evening to try the mixed fried fish. This dish, too, confirmed the quality of the cuisine. Overall, the restaurant offers a solid dining experience, with well-executed dishes and attentive service, in a pleasant setting. Recommended.
