Hostaria Marcomando In Sarzana

Passing through Sarzana a little late, excellent quick lunch with tasty traditional dishes. Very nice place and not too big, I recommend booking.

Informal and welcoming atmosphere, even though there were only two of us arriving at 2pm, they welcomed us and found us a place, offering us hospitality, friendliness and above all excellent fresh and well-prepared food.

We found this restaurant by chance. The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent! I can't wait to go back.

A very friendly team and a small but very fine selection of dishes. Our highlights were definitely the fish of the day with wafer-thin potatoes, the testeroli trio, and the attentive and friendly team!

Everything was very good. We had a great time.

Excellent restaurant, good food, pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff

I always go there to eat when I'm in Sarzana...excellent food...refined place...very kind...I highly recommend it

I had lunch on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at Hostaria Marcomando in Sarzana with my wife and a couple of relatives of our time. We arrived late, well after 2 p.m., but the owner was quick to welcome us. It was hot, but the narrow street in the center was breezy, and the umbrellas did their job. I ordered the testaroli because they're typical of the area, and I was right, as they were quite original. Usually, testaroli are very large, larger than a pizza, and are cut into squares, but these were whole, the size of a focaccia. Three testaroli, three different toppings, and a remarkable delight. I didn't order a second course because I don't like eating meat, even though I'm not vegetarian, so I ordered the green tagliatelle, cacio e pepe, with shrimp tartare. These were also phenomenal. So why four stars? Because the place, outside, was rather spartan. Hard chairs, set with paper placemats and napkins. Nothing wrong with that, because it's okay to be outside in the summer, but, in my opinion, they detract somewhat from the pleasantness of the experience. The interior is very nice and almost cooler. The bathroom is excellent, even with a window, which is a plus. Prices are very reasonable, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Since Sarzana, especially during the "La Soffitta nella Strada" event, is a little gem, I highly recommend both the place and the Ligurian town. Oh, and I shared my reviews with others, so you should know that I'm not just one, but four opinions at once. :D

At dinner with friends, I rediscovered the true flavors of seafood. Everything was beautiful, and the staff were very kind.
