What an incredible experience!
We had dinner twice during our short stay. Lugiano’s service is outstanding, the way he recommends and puts the single parts together! I have never experienced this before. To be honest, I‘ve been to many very good restaurants in my life.
The food is incredible! What a chef! I love his ideas, his creations. Thank you so much!
Don‘t forget to take a dolce! They are just WOW, the way they taste, the way they look. The lady behind is an artist.
The whole crew forms a wonderful team.
You can feel it any moment.
Congratulations!
I can‘t wait to come back.
What a pity that I live in Switzerland, too far away to be there more often.
Enjoy your stay at Papupaio!

Family dinner at the port of Arenzano. A charming setting, the food still needs to be refined, but the composition and authenticity of the flavors are beyond delicious! Light, dry fried food and homemade ice cream are a plus!
A truly memorable mention, however, goes to all the staff: smiling, ready, and attentive, even to the little ones! Well done!

A very nice restaurant on the harbor with a relaxed atmosphere.
The staff was very professional, kind, helpful, and very polite; it was one of the very few times they informed me of the price of off-menu dishes.

It's always a pleasure to return for dinner year after year. Even though it's a tourist spot, the staff always pays attention to your needs, which isn't always a given.
Everything was top notch, very kind and helpful staff, exceptional dishes.

Family dinner. We had good appetizers, less than stellar first courses, and good second courses.
Excellent ingredients. The staff was young, dynamic, and friendly.
I recommend it and will be back.

First of all, forget everything you hear about Ligurians: at Papupaio, you'll feel pampered, delighted, and completely satisfied in every way.
For me and my family, it's now a regular stop, a must-try before returning home.
The menu truly satisfies everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, with original and sophisticated offerings that always surprise. Just think of the appetizer accompanied by a scoop of coconut ice cream, or my absolute favorite, the king of desserts: tiramisu with Ligurian focaccia, a combination as unusual as it is extraordinary.
The service is simply impeccable: every member of the staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive, capable of making you feel like a special guest from start to finish.
A place you'll happily return to... and leave wanting more. We'll continue to do so, year after year.

It's now become one of our favorite restaurants. We return often and each time we leave feeling delighted and eager to return.
Every dish is meticulously crafted, the ingredients are top-quality, and every course always surprises us.
You can sense the passion behind every preparation.
A big round of applause also goes to all the staff: always smiling, knowledgeable, kind, and truly capable of making you feel at home.
If you're looking for a place to eat well and have a wonderful experience, Papu Paio is a guarantee.
We highly recommend it to everyone!

An excellent seafood restaurant nestled in the Arenzano harbor. I recommend making reservations and requesting outdoor seating to enjoy the atmosphere on a summer evening. The octopus is especially popular!
