From the reviews, we expected much more: a family-run restaurant with a few unpretentious dishes. The bill was a bit steep! Forty euros per person, including two main courses and a shared appetizer...

A wonderful culinary discovery in Chiavari, nestled in a quiet corner of the seafront promenade... excellent dishes with some innovation, featuring super-fresh fish, a good wine list, and fantastic service! My only suggestion, which doesn't detract from the rating, is that the portions in general could be slightly more generous, but it wasn't a problem. Thank you.

Dining at this restaurant is always a pleasure. The owners' passion translates into a true guarantee of quality.
The expertise, attention to raw materials, and care in preparing the dishes truly make the difference.
The spaghetti with bottarga, burrata, and anchovies are unparalleled. The rest is a true experience.

A nice selection of dishes, some with unique combinations, made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is intimate, relaxed, and friendly. The price is fair for the quality and portions. The olive oil tasting is a real treat.

Alessandra is an exceptional host, kind and welcoming.
She loves her Liguria and promotes local products (olive oils, wines, and seafood).
The place is welcoming and the cuisine excellent.

We'd been wanting to try La Buga for a while and finally called on a whim today to see if they had anything open for pranzo — got lucky with a last-minute spot and couldn't have been happier. The food was flat-out delicious from start to finish. They brought out complimentary bruschetta after we ordered, the baccalà antipasto was excellent, the main courses were spot on, and we made sure to save room for dessert — no regrets on any of it. Our server was warm and attentive the whole time despite a packed house — you could tell she genuinely enjoyed her job. Easily 5 stars and we're already talking about when we're coming back.
