La Lavinella In Rezzo

We ate very well! There were four of us, and we all had a starter, main course, and dessert, and we spent a fair amount. The dishes were simple but tasty and flavorful, and the staff was very friendly.

Family atmosphere, good food, efficient service. An experience to repeat!

Four of us had lunch yesterday, September 14, 2025. The set menu included about 7-8 excellent appetizers, as well as the two first courses and three second courses. The snails were truly remarkable, along with the ritrita gelato and tiramisu. Everything was carefully prepared and authentic. The service was efficient and friendly. The wine, undiluted, was more than reasonable, as was the bill. €35 all-inclusive. In fact, at least on Sunday lunch, if you don't book, you can't get in. Luckily, we were on the terrace. It's a shame the room is really noisy. I would recommend soundproofing. Anyway, congratulations. A question about the cheese inside the puff pastry fritters.

Everything very good, friendly staff

To make amends, I wasn't very familiar with Lavina, a hamlet in Rezzo, even though I'm from Imperia. It's a beautiful village crossed by the Arroscia stream. The restaurant itself represents the local area 100%, with typical Ligurian dishes (e.g., rabbit and snails). The food is excellent, and the service is good. The restaurant itself isn't particularly vibrant; it could be better. However, the quality/price ratio is top-notch.

The staff is quite friendly, very discreet, and the owner is very helpful. I bought her book, which is definitely expensive for a notebook, but she never refuses to help someone who writes about themselves. The food is good, like eating at home, simple and quite refined. The snails, which were supposed to be the star dish, aren't special, but in my opinion they're neutral; they should be tastier, more personalized in their flavor. Certainly, given the context—a beautiful day that I'll repeat—these are places that shouldn't disappear, and perhaps opening in the evening wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Having lunch at La Lavinella is a must for us when we're in Deglio, Liguria. We don't mind the journey. I don't want to reveal any more about this insider tip. Keep up the good work and stay loyal.

The typical Ligurian appetizers were all delicious, and there was a good selection of first and second courses. Well done!

Una scoperta fantastica, sapori autentici nel rispetto della tradizione per dei piatti eseguiti con maestria ed eccellenza, si percepisce nell’aria la passione e l’amore per questo mestiere e per la vera cucina casalinga. Ti senti subito a tuo agio, come fossi nella sala da pranzo di casa della nonna, il servizio è impeccabile, gentilezza e professionalità si uniscono perfettamente per non far mancare nulla al cliente. Antipasti voto 10: un’esplosione di gusto ed un mix perfetto di varietà che ti fa apprezzare ogni assaggio Primi voto 10: ravioli fatti in casa, tagliatelle fatte in casa, tutto leggero, armonico. Non smetteresti mai di mangiare Secondi voto 10: il miglior coniglio mai assaggiato, saporito, morbido, si scioglie in bocca Crostata della casa voto 9 frolla friabile, croccante, anch’essa leggera ma davvero buona. Tutto quello che ti aspetti di trovare da un posto nell’entroterra ma che quando poi inizi a mangiare sa nuovamente sorprendere. Location molto curata, pulita e piacevole. Anche la strada per arrivarci è semplice e il ristorante è più volte indicato da cartelli stradali. Bravi, bravi, bravi !! Una magnifica scoperta !

Volendo portare a pranzo la mia famiglia e mia madre mi sono ricordato di questo ristorante che non frequentavo da almeno 30 anni. Ho riscoperto una trattoria/ristorante come c'è n'erano tante una volta, personale cordiale, cibo semplice ma genuino, cotto ottimamente e con un rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo visto cosa si trova in giro. La più felice è stata mia madre che ha esclamato: finalmente un posto dove si mangia come una volta...e con più di 90 anni qualche posto lo ha girato. Grazie per la bella giornata.
