10/06/2026: Dinner for two, warmly welcomed in an intimate setting with a great atmosphere, and by chance (perhaps because it was a weekday), we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. The owner was courteous and friendly, often coming to the table to describe dishes and exchange a few words. Refined dishes made with excellent ingredients and beautifully presented, the flavor of the sea was evident in every bite. The risotto and spaghetti were exceptional, as was the tuna. A good wine list. The dinner was enjoyable from every perspective; speaking with the chef, you can sense the care and passion he puts into his expert cuisine. In conclusion, I'd say it was an excellent experience, definitely worth repeating to try new pairings. A lovely surprise in the historic center of Savona. Well done everyone!
21/04/2026: Dining at Carletto isn't just a restaurant experience: it's a magical, transcendent experience. The incredibly talented chef personally welcomes each guest, describing the dishes he prepares with passion and dedication. That same passion shines through in every bite.
During my visits, both last year and this year, I've tried several dishes, but one in particular will forever remain in my heart: cacio e pepe risotto with red wine reduction and fig compote. A perfect combination of flavors, captivating from the first bite.
The service and hospitality are exceptional, without a doubt. Having special dietary requirements (gluten-free and lactose-free), I immensely appreciate the care and attention with which the chef guides me in choosing dishes, always ensuring a safe and unforgettable dining experience.
The atmosphere is unique: a fusion of romance, warmth, and modernity, with a decor that blends history and innovation, just like the dishes offered. All this is wrapped up in a jazz soundtrack, making the atmosphere even more evocative and captivating.
Each course is accompanied by a perfect wine pairing recommendation. The quality is excellent, the prices absolutely in line with what you receive, and the staff is simply impeccable.
If you're passing through Savona, you can't miss Carletto. It's an extraordinary restaurant, with nothing—and I mean nothing—to envy even the best Michelin-starred restaurants.
I say it with all my heart: here you don't just dine, you experience an emotion.
