02/07/2025: Excellent cuisine, tranquility and priceless view
01/07/2025: With my wife and a family of two friends we had dinner at this wonderful trattoria serving typical Ligurian cuisine located in the hamlet of Sant’Apollinare on the heights of Sori.
We sat at one of the few tables on the outdoor terrace overlooking the sea and the promontory of Portofino.
To get to the restaurant from Sori go up and head towards Sant’Apollinare and there is a small parking lot next to the Church but it is generally always full so you can park on the road below that leads to Sori.
To have an outdoor table even during the week in summer they advised us to book at least 15 days in advance!!!
We ordered;
As an appetizer 2 focaccias with crido ham and stracchino, a focaccia with gorgonzola and Ligurian panissa similar in taste to chickpea farinata, which is in fact prepared with chickpea flour and water (without adding oil to the dough), to be eaten cold or fried.
For starters:
Trofie di farina bianca al pesto,
pansoti alla salsa di noce (which our friend didn’t like)
For main courses:
3 mixed grilled meats with chicken, pork loin, sausage, skewers
For dessert:
2 lemon ice creams, a tiramisu and an amaretto semifreddo
As mentioned, we were very satisfied with the starters, for the first courses except for the pansoti, for the second courses, the meat was delicious, abundant and for the desserts.
The staff was welcoming, smiling, competent, friendly and helpful and the service was attentive, fast and the price was fair for the quality of the dishes.
