Ristorante CADO' In Cosio d'arroscia

If you have the opportunity to drive along the Col di Nava road, just before the pass coming from Imperia, you'll find the turnoff that, in a few kilometers, takes you to the Cadò restaurant, meaning "lavender" in the local dialect. It's absolutely worth the detour, as is the charming medieval village. The tasting menu is truly worth it, but for those with a limited appetite, manager Antonio also serves individual dishes, local specialties. I'm particularly interested in the türle, large potato and leek agnolotti, an original take on stuffed pasta. The pork fillet is delicious and could be paired with a nice mustard. See the photos for the other dishes, accompanied by a local IGT house red, light and suitable even for those who have to drive. The service is competent and friendly. The price is super fair, considering the quality and attention to detail. Truly excellent, it's worth the detour or even a special trip.

Exceptional dishes, cooked with passion and then presented with equal love. I've known Tony, the owner, for many years, but I had never seen him as a restaurateur, and I was very impressed! I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for special occasions! Excellent!

I was delighted to discover the "white cuisine," expertly explained to us by the owner. Highly recommended.

On the last Sunday of September 2025, we stumbled upon this little village by chance, looking for a place to grab a bite to eat during a motorcycle ride with friends. This place was recommended to us, and it was a real revelation. The owner welcomed us kindly (unlike everyone, given the late hour) and seated us, recommending some truly delicious local dishes, cooked with true passion (we even met the chef, a delightful person). The service exceeded expectations, and the owner is brilliant and an excellent "singer" :) The prices are reasonable for what they offer! We'll definitely be back!

Typical, locally sourced products from the valley, with themed evenings featuring Ligurian, Piedmontese, and Tuscan traditions. And now, downstairs, they also offer excellent pizza.

Welcoming restaurant, we had lunch on the terrace on Ferragosto, with a beautiful view. At the end of the meal, the chef stopped by to check if everything was okay. When we asked for a change to one of our guests' lunches, we received the utmost attention and cooperation. Thank you for everything, see you soon!

Excellent food, very friendly staff, a refined atmosphere, and excellent value. Try the traditional pasta: Turle. Excellent! The panoramic terrace is also beautiful. All this is nestled in the small medieval village, with murals, flowers, and antiques scattered throughout the town in a unique open-air museum.

The owner is sooooo nice!!! The food was great, and the view outside is amazing.

Delicious food, excellent service. I recommend this place.
