We had a fantastic evening. The view is magnificent. The welcome is very warm, the owners are lovely. The food is excellent and homemade, and the value for money is very good. We came as a family, and everyone loved it.

The Osteria del Castel Gavone is a magical place that captivates your sight first, then your palate. Everything is carefully crafted, every dish unique, carefully crafted and revisited by Catia. Her infinite creativity comes directly to your table. Forget the noise, the frenzy of the city, the traffic... completely disconnect from everything and savor every single moment of relaxation. Catia and Andrea deserve every single star...the place is absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be back.

A very warm welcome, with equally warm little treats. Honestly, not to be missed if you're in the area.

The pasta was amazing. A fabulous place with wonderful food and hospitality. Lovely local wine and brilliant views. We can’t wait to go again.

A Five-Star Culinary Experience in beautiful Finale Ligure, Italy From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in for something truly special. This restaurant is a hidden gem that effortlessly blends the soul of Italian cuisine with warm, heartfelt hospitality. Whether you’re a local seeking a refined evening out or a traveller longing for an authentic taste of Italy, this place delivers on every level. Every dish was a masterpiece — fresh, seasonal, and bursting with flavour. You can taste the passion and precision in every bite. We especially loved asking our waiter, “What would make the Chef happy to cook for us today?” — and we highly recommend you do the same. It’s a beautiful way to discover a dish that the Chef is excited to create, often something off-menu and unforgettable. Dining here isn’t just about eating — it’s about connection: to the land, the tradition, and the people. A meal to remember, and a place we’ll return to. 🇨🇦 Travellers

In addition to the stunning location, you'll be welcomed by the kind and friendly staff! Don't expect the usual restaurant; here you'll find an experience.

We came for a summer dinner, with a beautiful view, and we found ourselves in a really poorly cared for place. The location and the photos made us think of a much nicer place and instead, paper napkins, very uncomfortable chairs and half-up and half-down awnings. The waiters were very kind and friendly but in the end the service was the worst thing. It took us half an hour just to order and all the dishes arrived very late. The wine selection was very limited. For the price paid per person (€70) we expected a very different service, an attention to detail on par with the cost of their dishes.

Lunch in a naturally ventilated environment on an unbearably hot day at the end of June '25. On the terrace overlooking the sea while being in the mountains. Fantastic appetizers, first courses and desserts. An exceptional calamarata and... everything else was superb. Don't miss the desserts that, although expensive, are worth every euro paid! Punto G and hazelnut cake with cream and fresh peach, truly to be enjoyed! Exceptional cook with a husband who knows how to do his job, advising customers in the best way without being intrusive. Since we drank a lot of water, given the temperature, she brought us a bottle at a time that was kept in the thermos container with ice so that it was always nice and cold. Small courtesies that are greatly appreciated. I recommend this restaurant without reservations.
