Ristorante Paganini In Chiavari

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Very fair prices, highly recommended.

We had dinner at this restaurant, which I hadn't heard of. We had a wonderful time. We ate everything based on fish. The dishes were good quality and very tasty. The service was attentive and very friendly. The Prosecco was excellent and the price was fair. Thank you for your hospitality.

Excellent family restaurant where I go very often. The fried meat and seafood is always excellent and dry, the first courses are excellent, ravioli and pansoti are top notch, the fish always good. It's certainly not a place for a master chef, but if I go out to eat and find a clean, tidy, welcoming place with excellent value, I'll go back. Reading many reviews, I'm amazed. If you want a chic, modern place and want to spend 100 euros, go elsewhere. If you want to eat well in a setting that may be a bit retro but is clean and well-kept, this is the place for you. Kudos also to all the staff for their helpfulness and friendliness. If you sometimes have to wait a bit, be patient. They don't have a fast food sign outside.

What a shame, really. An excellent culinary offering, featuring all the signature dishes of Ligurian cuisine, was literally thrown away due to the disorganization in the dining room and the resulting biblical waits before being served. I've been to this restaurant several times in the same week because I was staying in Chiavari for personal reasons. Whether it was a busy weekend or a quiet weekday, the common denominator has always been the slow service: a plate of ravioli, a veal cutlet with chips, and a dessert served in an average of an hour and a half. It's a shame, because the price is also highly competitive. The waiter is also smart and fast, but the problem clearly lies between him and the kitchen. I can't explain it any other way. Anyway, I repeat, in case you haven't figured it out, the food is very good.
