Ristorante L'Approdo In Borghetto santo spirito

16/03/2025: I was passing through Genoa Ventimiglia on my way back from a work appointment and I asked the artificial intelligence for help to find me a restaurant within a radius of about 100km, where I could have lunch with good fish and which offered good value for money. He suggested 2 locations and when I asked him to indicate just one, he sent me here to have less difficulty parking. Here, having left the A10 at Celle Ligure, I arrive in an instant behind the port where I find a very large car park absolutely available! I take 4 steps along the long port and immediately find the place. Nice location, I already like a sign outside that says without mincing words, that the fish offered is what the sea offers on that day, I enter and Ilenia welcomes me with a way of welcoming that I like, she is cheerful and courteous. So I follow his advice and start with a fried anchovy and mackerel as an appetizer (very good and crunchy), I continue with a wonderful tagliolini with calamari and spider crab and (giving up the swordfish rolls that he suggests) I conclude with a fried calamari. All washed down with an excellent glass of fresh Vermentino (I would have drunk one more but... driving and wine don't go together!!). Even though everything was absolutely tasty, on my palate I would have preferred the tagliolini with a little more salt and the fried calamari a little drier and crunchier. It remains that I undoubtedly recommend the place and I will certainly return in later spring to enjoy the wonderful outdoor area overlooking the sea! Thanks and see you soon

04/03/2025: Local directly in the Varazze marina. At first I was a little skeptical given the location (I thought they'd fleece us here and we'd leave hungry) but it turned out to be an excellent restaurant with excellent food and generous portions. Friendly and friendly staff!
