03/12/2025: A quiet corner, rustic yet authentic
The fireplaces in the winter add a unique and welcoming touch of hospitality!
I always choose it for family dinners, but also just to enjoy authentic, traditional dishes.
Sometimes Clara also hosts themed evenings featuring cuisines that aren't typically Ligurian, but she always manages to outdo herself and delight us.
Speaking of which, a few weeks ago they hosted an "agripaella"-themed evening, and for the occasion I invited a couple of friends who weren't familiar with the place. To keep us from waiting on an empty stomach, they treated us to a taste of white polenta (I'd never tried it before and it didn't really wow me, but I'll start by saying I'm not a fan of polenta in general) and a piece of pumpkin pie that "spoke"—too bad it was just the "entrée," because I would have devoured it all! ^_^
Then the paella arrived. It certainly wasn't presented like the well-cooked and dry Spanish version, but oh my god, it was rich and high-quality. <3 I made a great impression on my friends, who have already asked me to return to try their other specialties that I've raved about, like Pansoti and Asado, which, in my opinion, are unsurpassed!
During the holidays, I already know where I'll be spoiling myself ;-)
I RECOMMEND IT, but don't expect a 5-star establishment with a personal waiter who pours water into empty glasses. It's still a family-run agriturismo, and this is definitely one of their highlights.
01/12/2025: A place you can trust! My family and I have been going there for years. A place that always makes me feel welcome, in a rustic, homey atmosphere that always puts you at ease. The ravioli are a must, as are the pansoti. The menu may vary, so inquire ahead if you're craving something specific. My last visit was for the Agripaella, a type of farm paella, as the name suggests. If you're expecting Valencian-style paella, go to Spain, not a farm in Italy. The ingredients are all super fresh, and the garnish includes excellent whole prawns (as well as the peeled ones in the risotto), mussels, various types of meat, and chorizo. The quantity was so huge, we had doggy bags made for home! Also because beforehand (as if that weren't enough) there was a small appetizer with delicate white polenta and a piece of pumpkin pie that was truly spectacular. The sangria was very good, with a little too much fruit for my taste, but it was enough not to spill it. Finally, dessert was an apple strudel that we were told was chocolate, but it wasn't. After asking for clarification, they explained it was a misunderstanding between the waitress and the kitchen. It can happen, but it was still good.
The added touch in winter were the beautiful fireplaces heating the room. They had lit them even though it wasn't cold. They were truly charming, but fortunately they then let them go out because with all the "human warmth" of the people in the room, it was just too much. I can't wait for the other themed nights!
