Cozy and informal family-run restaurant with unpretentious and really good food. Nice atmosphere between the old colorful buildings in Cervo.

This restaurant is located on one of the streets of Cervo, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. The restaurant has limited seating but is very welcoming and charming. Traditional dishes and more are served. I recommend ordering just one dish because the portions are truly generous. Excellent value for money. Prices are obviously high, but they're definitely worth it for the quantity of food served. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Given the abundance of dishes, we took home the rest of the fried calamari and stuffed cuttlefish.

If you're looking for a warm atmosphere where you can enjoy top-quality fish, cooked with wonderful simplicity that highlights its freshness and quality, seasoned and accompanied by excellent olive oil and authentic vegetables, head to Guido at Taverna Mandragola. He can also recommend excellent wines to complement the dishes you order.
The desserts are also excellent, especially the
Basil sorbet/gelato, which I recommend pairing with the excellent olive oil always available.
EXCELLENT!!!

We were there alone on Monday at lunchtime and received very attentive service. The tables are small, but it's quiet! The stuffed zucchini blossoms and Ligurian lasagna filling with slow-cooked beef and mushrooms were absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed a tasty Vermentino and finished with an espresso. 😋

Excellent ingredients, always generous portions, friendly and fast service, you eat in the alleyways, I love it, and the basil ice cream is top notch.
The price is reasonable for the dishes. I definitely don't come here to pay cheap, but to eat well.

Lunch in Cervo. The food was good, with options for all tastes, both seafood and meat. The bill was a bit steep: €8 for a medium beer!

A small but welcoming dining room, well-trained and competent staff, and a cuisine with plenty of substance and few frills.
On Sunday evening, I ate delicious fried Sanremo shrimp and excellent stuffed calamari, all accompanied by a Verdicchio di Iesi Riserva.
The wine list is rich in important labels.
Perfect price/quality ratio.
Very good.

Today we had a truly excellent culinary experience.
The menu is truly interesting. The raw fish dish was exceptional, and the other dishes we tried were excellent as well. I can't wait to try more.
The atmosphere, already pleasant in the alleys of Cervo, was enhanced by background music coming from a nearby building, from which classical music was being played on the piano by an invisible musician (I think it's a music school).
The wine selection was also excellent.
I will gladly return.
