La Carpasina In Carpasio

I stopped in during a motorcycle ride in the area. The food is excellent; the homemade ravioli are truly delicious, and the tiramisu was also excellent. The place is quite casual but clean, and the service is very fast and attentive. For a first course, dessert, water, and coffee, I paid €16, which isn't exactly a miracle, but these days, sometimes it's not enough for an appetizer! Very substantial, without too many pretensions to elegance.

I gave it 5 stars because this is a rare place in a world where people are tired of the traditional and constantly searching for new flavors at prohibitive costs. After tasting typical Ligurian home cooking, you sense the passion of this family, who for years, with their carpasina, have kept the heart of Carpasio alive. The dishes change constantly, but they all share the flavor of traditional cuisine. The simplicity and quality of the local products, in my opinion, make this an experience that grows more and more appreciated each time. Congratulations.

In short: Good food at a reasonable price. Translation: lots of substance and little "cinema."
