Trattoria Raieu In Lavagna

Ravioli and grill, normal. Mixed fried food, excellent and plentiful. Very limited seafood starter (3 pink prawns, a spoonful of octopus with potatoes, two stuffed muscles and two anchovy fillets in oil)

Fish restaurant. We tried the spaghetti with mussels and clams and they were delicious. Bring plenty too. House wine in bulk. For each category there are 5/6 dishes and they are almost all fish-based. I tasted the seafood appetizer, warm and delicious. The mussels marinara were delicious and the portion was generous. The desserts are also really good. The restaurant is in an internal street in front of some garages. The location isn't the best but the place is really worth it. Very friendly and kind staff. Average prices. Parking is a bit difficult to find, the surrounding streets are narrow and poorly lit. However, we were very happy!

Last week, returning from Riva Trigoso, we phoned carefully to make sure there was room for dinner. The place is in fact now famous even though it is located in the village of Cavi di Lavagna. So many memories as a child when we spent the month of July in Cavi Borgo. My mother was a practically daily visitor to the Raieu fish shop... In fact there was the shop where they sold the fish caught during the night from the boats with lampare that went out into the sea from the final beach of Cavi around 7.30-8.00 pm . And I watched them ply the waters in admiration and the next day there were new baby octopus, squid, shrimp, endless anchovies, monkfish... We entered the restaurant and it had been years since I had been there, and I still found the same warmth as always. I recognized the lady who immediately found us a nice place. The menu is always full of local dishes. I chose a typical dish, Ciupin, a sort of deboned and rather dense fish soup. A real delight.... Even the fish ravioli with octopus ragù was a unique delight... The choice of desserts was excellent. While waiting between one course and another, as well as exchanging a chat with my wife, my eyes insistently followed the marine objects that decorated the furniture of the place. Many of these objects came from lamps such as hall lamps and therefore other equipment such as oars, nets etc. A very characteristic and evocative place, and I'm sure not only for me, who knew the history of the place and the origins of this restaurant.... We will be back several times again, I'm sure.

I've always had a good experience at Raieu's, a guarantee...unfortunately the last time I received the fish on my plate almost completely raw...I had to send it back...

If you want really fresh fish and seafood, cooked without frills, then this is one of the few restaurants in the Levante that delivers what it promises

Traditional with wonderful seafood!!

Great fish dishes, some cozze dish were hit and miss(still better than many others), good service, attentive, and friendly. Love to go back!

I went to this restaurant in August on the recommendation of a friend of mine. What can I say, welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff and really excellent food: the gnocchi with clam sauce, in a generous portion, were really good, not to mention the Sacripantina cake, I still think about it now! Honorable mention to the blonde waitress who served us that evening, she was truly impeccable and helpful, she gave us excellent advice on what to order based on our preferences. In short, an experience to be repeated as soon as possible. Super recommended restaurant if you pass through those parts and want to treat yourself to a pampering after a day at the beach!

Andiamo sempre molto volentieri in questo ristorantino, conosciuto per la freschezza del pesce e per la gradevolezza dell’ambiente. Oggi il pranzo è stato davvero speciale, curatissimo. Dobbiamo ringraziare particolarmente Lorenzo per la dedizione e la capacità con cui ha preparato quelle prelibatezze, bellissime anche a vedersi.

Da decenni un punto di riferimento irrinunciabile per chi vuole gustare del buon pesce. Imparassero gli chef più o meno stellati ad essere più bravi cuochi che inutili star. Un applauso come sempre alla cucina perfetta di U Raieu.
