Super friendly staff. The three appetizers were excellent, as were the pasta dishes, all good in quality and delicious. The only negative was the desserts: the chocolate salami was inconsistent in taste and overall shape, the tiramisu was very watery and creamy, and the chocolate meringue was poor overall. Overall, a wonderful place, excellent food. Skipping dessert will ruin a great experience. Massimo and his family

Super welcoming, afternoon service... We arrived after 3 pm for lunch, thank you for spotting us so well!
That wild boar was delicious! Beautiful view, and the place was meticulously maintained!
Beautiful exterior full of plants, even more beautiful inside.

We tried this restaurant on the recommendation of some friends and were completely satisfied. The polenta with wild boar and rabbit ragù was delicious, the tender wild boar stew melted in the mouth, and the dessert, sweet and sour figs with goat cheese, was delightful. The welcoming staff showed us around the restaurant and even told us its history. The location is charming, with indoor and outdoor dining options, and for couples, there are also tables outside under the rock and beam ceilings, all with a beautiful view. Excellent value. We'll gladly return, perhaps with friends. Andrea and Marilù, Milanese from Celle Ligure

A special experience.
You immediately feel at home; the family management makes this place welcoming and unique.
Authentic dishes, impeccable service.
Grandma's greeting at the table was the most touching moment.
Highly recommended.

The experience was unpleasant from the start. We had to wait a long time for a table despite having made a reservation. The service was slow and disorganized: the waiters often forgot about us, and the wait times between courses were truly excessive. No one apologized for the inconvenience.
It offers Ligurian cuisine, home cooking, and well-seasoned dishes.
We've been frequenting Le Manie for several years, and a stop—or rather, stops—at Trattoria La Grotta have become a very pleasant and unmissable part of our summer vacation. Aside from the truly unique location, surrounded by nature, above the prehistoric Manie cave, near the trail to Val Ponci, a valley with the remains of several Roman bridges, we love the trattoria because:
- it's family-run; all the family members and staff are very kind, helpful, and hardworking. If you drop by in the morning, you'll find them in the kitchen busy cleaning and cooking the garden produce; if you happen to be out for a stroll in the evening, you'll find Grandma busy tending her beloved garden to the sound of music;
- The cuisine is typically Ligurian, fresh and authentic. The accompanying vegetables, and consequently the appetizers, are plentiful and varied, changing based on what's available from the garden. The pasta dishes and meat-based main courses are well-executed and homemade, as are the excellent desserts and the interesting wine list, including locally sourced wines.
- Both the interior and exterior are very well-maintained and cared for. If you're lucky with the weather, you can eat outside; otherwise, you can sit in a modern and very comfortable dining room overlooking the valley.
- The atmosphere: if you come for lunch, you'll find yourself among passing bikers and hikers who stop to refresh themselves and enjoy a well-deserved rest. If you come for dinner, you'll find people who come specifically to dine at the Trattoria, spending a different evening away from the coast, in the company of fireflies, if you come during their season.
In short, we love it and can't wait to return! Best regards, Teresa and Sergio!

Wir kommen regelmäßig hier her. Das Essen ist fast ausschließlich sehr gut. Kann sein etwas schmeckt mir nicht so gut, aber dafür meinem Freund umso besser. Deshalb - Augen auf bei der Bestellung. Die Mannschaft kommt etwas distanziert rüber, ist aber sehr nett. Ich würde das Restaurant als Geheimtipp empfehlen.
