Ristorante 'Paolino' In Lerici

A restaurant that seems suspended in time, where every detail tells a story. The retro atmosphere is the real added value: period furnishings, soft lighting, and a welcome reminiscent of the warm and authentic atmosphere of yesteryear. Sitting down at a table here is like taking a little journey into the past, relaxing and delightful. The cuisine is refined, sincere, and well-executed, with balanced flavors and quality ingredients that are appreciated from the first bite. Each dish is presented with elegance and respect for tradition, without unnecessary modern constraints. A special mention goes to the service, perfectly embodied by Mr. Antonio: a true man of integrity, professional, discreet, and impeccable in his manners. His presence gives character to the dining room, with that slightly old-fashioned grace that is increasingly rare today and that decisively contributes to the restaurant's charm. If there's one small point for improvement, it's the portions that aren't particularly generous... but this detail easily fades into the background when compared to the overall experience. In fact, it almost leaves you wanting to return to try something else on the menu. An ideal place for those seeking atmosphere, flavor, and authenticity, perfect for a quiet evening of good food and old-world charm. Highly recommended.

We were truly pleasantly surprised. The attention to detail, the quality of the ingredients, and the wide selection of gluten-free options (including FRESH pasta) make this place one of a kind. Not to mention the prices, which are absolutely reasonable! The owner is also truly kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

We had a great time, thanks in part to the owner's friendliness. The food is good, and there are gluten-free options.

Great and simple, no unnecessary decoration, just good food. The restaurant looks very authentic, the terrace is nice but simple, too. The atmosphere inside could be a lot cosier if the light would be slightly dimmed. The food is really good and at fair costs.

Excellent food, attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommended for celiacs and non-celiacs alike. I'll definitely be back.

Gluten-free fresh pasta isn't easy to find, but Da Paolino is, and it's delicious! Plus, you can get the entire menu gluten-free, except for two dishes. Highly recommended!

Family-run restaurant, excellent food and impeccable service, everyone very kind and welcoming. Perfect value for money.

We dined on the lovely outdoor veranda, and chose the local menu, which features a menu primarily based on mussels, one of Lerici's signature dishes. The dishes were simple but delicious, and we paid €35 per person, including drinks.

We had grouper ravioli, taglioni, and scampi parcels—never tasted such delicious dishes. Also perfect for celiacs, AIC certified. The staff was incredibly kind!

Although it was a bit late at lunchtime, we received a warm and uncomplicated welcome and were shown to the wonderful, cozy gazebo. The restaurant has a family atmosphere, and the food is delicious. They even offer gluten-free meals. 😉 Mosquito spray helps. We'd love to come back.
