Il Frantoio In

Top restaurant in Lerici, excellent quality food, cooked well, good clean chef and delicious bread

Positive experience. Excellent food

Nice and well-kept place, in a characteristic alley of Lerici. Attentive and precise staff. Good dishes, excellent quality of bread, I took the roundup of appetizers whose dimensions were a little exaggerated at least for me and then some very good linguine with clams, finishing with a Patatrac for dessert. All good, perhaps the bill is a bit steep for what it offers.

Absolutely one of the best dinners I’ve ever ordered. My wife had a mixed seafood pot in a rich tomato based broth that was like the best bouillabaisse I’ve ever tasted. Lots of shrimp, lobster, whitefish, scallops, crabs and mussels and just a few squid. I had the freshest Dourade (Sea Bream) with a dozen incredibly delicious artichokes. Desert was extraordinary! These guys can do it all and not unreasonable prices. Very very nice house wines, also! I’m going back again for a 2nd shot at excellence!!

Happened by chance in this restaurant during a picnic, very kind staff, very nice place and delicious food, the 8-course mixed starter, both hot and cold, is exquisite. Super recommended

Instant food, abundant quantity, courteous service, honest value for money. Highly recommended, a guarantee

We chose this place because various locals agreed on it. I don't think you could find anything better in town. The place is characteristic and a little cramped and the atmosphere would like to aspire to a restaurant even if it would be better suited to a trattoria. We were 4 diners, all satisfied with the lunch. Seafood pasta, fried fish, which I only tasted, plentiful and fresh fish although, in my opinion, the cooking oil seemed of poor quality or a little exhausted. I took a second course, a typical dish. I suggest that customers ask for a (good) wine list because the alleged meter took it for granted that we would take the white wine he was offering, without informing them that there was a well-stocked list and without indicating the price of the bottle. So I asked to taste this local wine which was less than mediocre to my palate. So I asked if there was anything else and then the card popped up. The wine sent back was 25 euros. I chose a local rosé which was 20 euros. Then on the bill, which I always double-check scrupulously out of habit, the wine charged was still priced at 25. Certainly a careless error that can easily happen but I was very sorry to see that they sent a girl from the other room to communicate the correction and no one apologized for the inconvenience. As a former supply worker I would have been mortified and would have at least offered the coffee which then, perhaps, only one of us must have taken, given that the others don't drink it. With 1.5 euros they would have made a great impression...

Excellent wine and food experience.

A inizio agosto siamo ritornati a Lerici per salutare alcuni ospiti inattesi, che volevano mangiare del buon pesce, ovviamente siamo andati al Frantoio! Cin cin con bollicine Astoria, poi bevuto a tutto pasto: è un prosecco morbido, giusto che solitamente piace a tutti, l’unico problema è che continueresti a berne. Questa volta solo uno di noi ha ordinato gli antipasti, gli altri hanno voluto provare tre primi piatti da poco in menù: tagliolini freschi al nero di seppia in due versioni, in bianco con gamberi sgusciati, zucchini e al sugo di polpo con pomodorini in bellavista e tagliolini alla chitarra, bianchi, con gamberi locali sgusciati, funghi galletti e zucchini. Tre proposte strepitose. Per secondi, una fritturina di calamari e gamberi, pescato locale, croccante e morbida allo stesso tempo, asciutta, buonissima e un Polpo locale in due versioni, saltato in padella con crema di patate, dadolata di verdurine croccanti e all’Inferno con pomodorini. Uno di noi non ha saputo resistere alla Catalana di Crostacei al vapore, su letto di verdure crude, condite con Olio Laudemio 2023: è un loro classico, chi non l’ha mai provata la provi! Ricordate di chiedere se ci sono Piatti del giorno extra fuori menù: noi abbiamo trovato i muscoli ripieni, (cozze per i foresti) e le acciughe locali ripiene, piatti della tradizione spezzina, due assaggini, una favola! Tutti i piatti sono espressi, cucinati con le giuste quantità d’olio, mai pesanti. Questa volta abbiamo saltato i dolci, tutti di loro produzione, e siamo passati al sorbetto al limone e sgroppino al limone con vodka: giusto per digerire! Qualità/Prezzo, come al solito senza confronti. p.s. non sono riuscito ad allegare altre 4 foto di primi e secondi, per un problema di dimensione dei file, peccato erano spettacoli per gli occhi oltre che per il palato!

Ristorante sito a Lerici vicino al centro. Cenato nella sala principale caratteristica. Personale gentile e attento. Ottimo l’antipasto di mare caldo e freddo e non da meno l’orata con crema di zucca e tartufo. Merita. Grazie.
