La Pineta In

05/07/2026: A cove just before Zoagli, with fully equipped beach service and a super-pampering restaurant. The beach features Ligurian pebbles, and you can reserve loungers online (very reasonable prices compared to other local establishments), with a welcome drink and reserved parking. A postcard view 😍😎. The restaurant is elegant and refined. If you book in advance, the front-row tables offer the most beautiful view (I imagine they're the pinnacle of the dream at sunset). The decor is meticulously crafted, as is the table setting. The bread basket is a sin 🥰, simple yet tasty. The spaghetti with clams was a poem in rhyme with the sea. The Marina salad was the freshest and most intriguing dish on the menu. Very friendly service. The quality-price ratio is consistent with the quality of the ingredients and the quality of the establishment. The only downside (not the fault of the managers, but they can do something more with explicit rules) concerns some restaurant guests who lack decent attire (the top of the swimsuit doesn't fall into the top category 😬…and the sheer sarongs are sheer 😉…a word to the wise) and guests with dogs who are allowed to roam freely (even wet) or climb onto the dining table…respect for others and for those who take care of everything is a must. Highly recommended place 🤩😎

14/06/2026: Marina dei Bardi is one of those places that still manages to let you experience the sea with a sense of exclusivity that's increasingly rare in Liguria. The convenience is priceless: arrive by car, park practically inside the facility, and in just a few steps you're on your lounger. Zero stress, no searching for parking, just relaxation. The establishment is well-kept, elegant without being pretentious, with a private atmosphere that truly allows you to disconnect from everyday life. Even on the busiest days, you can sense a pleasant sense of tranquility. Special mention for the restaurant: its cuisine is superior to the typical beach resort fare. Carefully prepared dishes, quality ingredients, and a sea view make every lunch an experience. Both the seafood dishes and the simpler options are excellent, always executed with care.
