La Bilaia - L'AgriRistorante In Lavagna

After hearing so much about this agri-restaurant, I decided to try it, taking advantage of a truffle-themed evening. The location is truly beautiful, the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, I'll stop here, as we had several issues with the service: dirty cutlery; being the first to arrive at the event, we had to wait for the other guests to arrive, after which we were served last only after we pointed out they'd forgotten about us. After the first course, we waited 50 minutes for the first course and another 20 for the second course. For dessert, a fior di latte gelato, unfortunately with ice in it, was brought to us only one, and again, the second course was brought to us only after we requested it. The menu presented is unusual, but adding a few truffle shavings isn't enough to make a dish exceptional. I also shared my point through the feedback requested at the end of the dinner. So, considering the journey to get here and the cost of the meal, it's not worth the effort. I'm truly sorry!

La Bilaia offers an authentic gastronomic experience, where the cuisine showcases the local area with balance and passion. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, the service attentive and discreet. The dishes are well-executed, with quality ingredients and elegant presentation. A must-try for special occasions.

Excellent mushroom-themed dinner, complete menu for €50 (from appetizer to dessert with water, no wine). Welcoming and refined atmosphere with a greeting from the chef. Fried mushrooms, carpaccio, two first courses (tagliolini and risotto) rich in mushrooms, suckling pig, and dessert. A highly recommended experience that we will definitely repeat. The photos are from another dinner already reviewed.

We celebrated our wedding here, and it was the best choice we could have made! The chef was incredibly helpful, and the options for celebrating with friends are numerous and well-balanced: the setting is simple yet refined and elegant, blessed with a breathtaking view, perfect for showing our "foreign" guests a slightly different side of Liguria. The dishes were all highly appreciated, especially the "backache" ravioli (which deserves its fame) and the chocolate sacripantina! Highly recommended even for an intimate dinner, as the service is always attentive and the atmosphere is intimate and relaxing.

Mushroom-themed evening. All the dishes were excellent and beautifully presented, the staff attentive and courteous. The place is beautiful, but perhaps lacks a bit of character at night, as you can't appreciate the view in the dark. At least on themed evenings, the value for money is excellent. Worth noting is the excellent service (included) for birthdays and other events, which includes delicate decorations and a candle-filled cake. Constructive criticism: the fried mushrooms to start with, while good, seemed a bit off-the-cuff... Nothing else. The reservation system is unusual: after an absolutely negative initial impression, I ended up finding it useful and pleasant.

Whether for a romantic dinner or with friends, La Bilaia is the perfect restaurant: the atmosphere is a blend of elegance and tradition. The menu changes quite frequently (I've been there twice in two weeks and it was different). It's difficult to choose from the various options; everything is delicious and carefully prepared. The wine cellar is also well-stocked, and the sommelier always gave us excellent recommendations. The view is spectacular: it's like looking out of a postcard. And if it's chilly... they even have fleece blankets. In my opinion, it's one of the best restaurants in all of Liguria.

A very charming place nestled among olive trees. Enchanting terraces overlooking the coast. Perfect service, with a very friendly waitstaff. The chef, who introduced himself, was very friendly. Highly recommended.

Everything is always impeccable... it's now become our "happy place" ✨️

Beautiful location, delicious food, and an excellent wine list. Impeccable service.

I came with my girlfriend for the agri-dinner under the olive trees with live music. It was a truly wonderful evening spent in a magical atmosphere with truly delicious food and drinks. Excellent service, very friendly waitresses, and even the chef, Paolo, was very helpful and friendly.
