La Gioconda In Pietra ligure

15/07/2025: Fresh and good fish at a very fair price. The trofie with pesto was delicious and also suitable for vegetarians. Beautiful ambiance with a view of the harbor.

11/07/2025: I visited this restaurant based on the glowing reviews, but left genuinely confused if I’d ended up at the same place others had praised. I ordered €50 worth of risotto, which arrived undercooked, and the shrimp hadn’t been deveined, leaving a gristly texture that made the dish difficult to enjoy. My son’s pasta with fish was similarly disappointing: dry and lacking in flavor. To top it off, the bottled water, priced as if it were premium, was the same brand sold at the corner store just across the square. For the quality we received, the price simply isn’t justified. I wouldn’t return, nor would I recommend it.
