Hostaria Vecchia Rapallo In Rapallo

Incredible pear ravioli. Everything I had here was spot on. Would come again and again

I've been several times on different trips and always want to go back. The food is very good, it's very clean (which isn't very common in Italy), and the service is excellent. The price is very reasonable for the quality.

The Rapallo Panzotti with walnut sauce and the Ricotta dessert were incredible.

Excellent dinner, excellent service, and a well-maintained venue. Excellent

We chose this restaurant, located in one of the main alleys, drawn by its elegant character and refined atmosphere, enhanced by the open-view wine cellar. The experience was extremely positive: we were involved in the owner's grandson's birthday celebration, and, coming from German-speaking Switzerland, I had the pleasure of showing my friend an authentic and familiar side of Italian hospitality. This was a particularly pleasant surprise in Liguria, where foreigners don't always feel welcomed with the same immediate warmth. The service is professional and impeccable. The portions are slightly small compared to the price, but the quality is good. The availability of vegetarian options is also appreciated, which is not always a given in an area where the alternative is often limited to pizza. For us, it was a lovely evening. Thanks to the staff and the wonderful owner (and family), who allowed us to dine in that room, helping to make the memory of our holiday even more special.

Traditional Italian cuisine. The artichokes are in season, the prawn risotto is perfect, the sea bass is cooked to a high standard, and the clam and tomato stew is delicious. Efficient staff.

Beautiful and welcoming place Average-high price The quality of the food is good The presentation of the dishes is a bit dull The menu listed a product that didn't match what I ordered.

Mixed fried swordfish bites and herb rolls with walnut sauce, super nice setting, highly recommended

Loved this place. We came for a mid-week dinner in early March (off-season) and were surprised to find it mostly full—seemingly all locals except for us, which always feels like a great sign. The service (and owner) were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and unpretentious—more like being at a friend’s home than a formal restaurant. The food was exactly what you hope for in this region: fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully prepared without trying to overcomplicate things. While everything was solid, the pear ravioli was a standout—unique and perfectly balanced- I'll be thinking about this dish for a long time! A great spot for an authentic, relaxed meal in Rapallo. Would absolutely come back.

For those who want typical local "Ligurian" cuisine, clean, intimate, the waiter is a bit in a hurry to remove the dishes... very expensive, taken away immediately after taking the empty plates.
