Il Frantoio In Garlenda

Courtesy, hygiene, excellent quality and price, they offer you bitters and yet we are in Liguria.

Mama Mia, what a kitchen in such a family-friendly atmosphere! Very traditional Italian cuisine, authentic and authentic, just as it has always been. Even the detour into Spanish cuisine, the paella (note: must be ordered in advance), is perfectly cooked in the traditional style. The portion is very generous for two people and we loved it! The pizzas are also made with love and tradition in the wood-fired oven. The desserts round off the whole bouquet. The freshness of this cuisine is clearly evident in the dishes. We've just been there twice and will definitely visit again when we're in the area. Reservations are highly recommended. Very, very fair prices. We really appreciated the hospitality!

I used to go get paella from them even when there was covid and they left it for me in the terracotta bowl... simply fantastic thank you 🥰

In addition to the very good pizza, I recommend trying the seafood paella. Delicious!

Let's start by saying that the place is nice, but looks can be deceiving. One waitress seemed stressed. The pizza wasn't great. I ordered two beers, but they didn't even ask if we wanted lager or red, so we repeated the order. The prices are pretty fair, but the quality wasn't that great. The tiramisu was more cocoa than anything else—how could I not cough from such a high amount of cocoa? The bread seemed like it was made yesterday. NOT TO MENTION THE DESSERTS. I ordered three and I didn't like any of them. Okay, but I'm not disappointed with the food, I'm more disappointed with the service. 3 stars seems like a very high rating. I hope they can improve the quality and that the staff is more friendly. I won't be returning.

The highlight is definitely the paella, plentiful and flavorful (reserve in advance!). The focaccias are also delicious. Sweet fritters and a digestif are offered by the owners. A must-visit every year!

Homely atmosphere, friendly staff. Especially the chef who comes towards the end of dinner and brings sweets and sage-flavored liqueur. For every recommendation.

Everything was decent, but during the night we drank the impossible. Perhaps the summer menu should be summery...

The paella (reservation required) was exceptional. Very generous portions, €22 per person for a pan for two, but there are four heaping plates. At the end of the meal, they offered us some delicious sweet fried bread bites. They didn't bring us a menu, but we had no surprises on the bill. Highly recommended.

In Spain they don't know what paella is!
