Osteria Mattana In Sestri levante

A place like no other...I love this type of place...the food is beyond excellent...the bill is perfect...the friendliness is top notch...what more can I say? If you're not into pizza and want to eat well...highly recommended.

I went to Sestri for work and the place was perfect: good food at a good price, with friendly people. I would definitely go back.

If you're looking for a place to eat well, Mattana is definitely recommended. Homemade fish and meat dishes. Fast, professional, and friendly staff. Fair price for the quality! 👍🏻

I had salted anchovies and spaghetti alla brezza, everything fresh and delicious. The waiters were friendly, and there's a lot of traffic on a Saturday night. It's common not to have a reserved table; you can dine with others. Satisfied with my choice of location, I only had one dinner in Sestri Levante.

A fantastic place for several reasons: the food is good, Ligurian dishes are delicious, the atmosphere is quaint, and it's not your typical tourist spot (but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the area). The squid buridda is exceptional, the farinata is excellent, the desserts are sophisticated... If I hadn't run the risk of bursting, I would have happily continued. The staff is friendly and welcomes you in dialect. The place is right in the historic center.

For me, one of the best places in Sestri Levante. The last time I was there was a little over a year ago, I think. Last night, we returned with a friend who had never been before and was pleasantly surprised. We found exactly the same atmosphere and conviviality. We sat at one of the large tables in the dining room, along with some customers from Chiavari, with whom we enjoyed a chat. We had a good bottle of Primitivo, I had a nice rib-eye steak (their meat is truly top-notch!), the others had the buridda, the octopus (excellent), we shared a couple of portions of farinata, and some beans on the side. I must say that you should come more often to try everything; they have some truly interesting options on the menu. And everything is cooked very well; we noticed the dishes our fellow diners had, and they were also very satisfied. Besides the good food, there is the added value of the friendliness of the managers and employees, who are all truly kind and helpful. Congratulations, you never disappoint! (Levanto Group).

A historic restaurant in Sestri Levante serving traditional dishes. Long, comfortable counters allow you to sit with strangers. The dishes are well-prepared and delicious. The menu is on the blackboard, and the staff are friendly. Prices are reasonable.

We ate at this simple and authentic restaurant on a weeknight. The farinata was excellent, as were the grilled octopus and the minestrone soup. We highly recommend this place.

...perhaps a little pricey... basically, two main courses, one farinata, one wine, and two desserts... €35 per person is a bit steep..., also because the portions are fairly mediocre... the ribs are three pieces, as much as the rabbit... for a trattoria-style place, and for a table of people from different groups, I find it a bit pricey... I hate to give this review, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning to this place. All the best...

A warm welcome and delicious, affordable food. Thank you so much, I'll be back! Be sure to try the farinata!
