I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina ligure

12/10/2025: I've been going there for 20 years and I always have a good time.

11/10/2025: Excellent cuisine, fresh fish, excellent service, and excellent value. The atmosphere could be improved.

22/09/2025: I visited this trattoria with a group of 14 friends. The fixed menu cost €40 and included appetizers, a first course, a second course, dessert, coffee, and a liqueur. The only real positive was the atmosphere: comfortable and familiar. Otherwise, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. • Appetizers: sparse and not very generous. A tiny portion of Russian salad, a cucullo, and a small amount of panissa. • First course: mandilli with mushroom sauce served in a baking dish so small it had to be shared between 4 or 5 people. It's a shame, because the sauce was good, but the quantities were truly ridiculous. • Second course: pork loin with potatoes and mushrooms. This was truly absurd: a slice so small it looked like a slice of Hungarian salami. The waiter, noticing our disappointment, asked if we wanted more, but even then they were extremely stingy. • Dessert: Calling a "green apple sorbet" a dessert, especially after such small portions, is truly embarrassing. The flavor was awful and completely unworthy of a €40 menu. Furthermore, the wait between courses was long. Bread was always available, but it seemed more like a ploy to fill customers' stomachs than actual service. I don't eat bread, so I basically went hungry. The staff, to be fair, was kind, but that doesn't make up for the menu management and overall poor quality. Conclusion: €40 wasted. A pizza would have been much better. I won't be returning, and I don't recommend this restaurant.

10/07/2025: Excellent experience from typical Genoese food to impeccable service, thanks for everything

08/10/2025: This was our second time at Trattoria da Mario with 7 years since our first. The meal was as wonderful as expected. 2 of us had the Vongole and one the Bolognese. We had a couple of appetizers and a beef stew which had very tasty and tender meat. Service was fun and engaging. We will of course return, hopefully sooner than it took this time.

05/10/2025: Reasonable price and friendly staff

31/07/2025: Friendly staff, cuisine that changes regularly, and local produce. Top-notch

10/10/2025: Excellent traditional local dishes, standard prices, the place is a bit dated and divided into two floors but it's worth it

20/09/2025: Excellent lunch, very unique and welcoming location. We'll be back.

31/08/2025: The focaccia was very good, the pansoti were undercooked, and we waited half an hour between the focaccia and the first course. The staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming.

22/08/2025: The staff is very courteous and professional. The location offers a truly picturesque view. The dishes we ate were neither good nor bad. I would recommend using more salt, as some dishes were decidedly too salty and the flavors of the ingredients were truly missing. I would also recommend not asking the customer specifically if they want to leave a tip when paying by debit card, as this could be seen as inappropriate, almost rude.

11/10/2025: A wonderful restaurant.. We had fillet steak and it was excellent.. The spaghetti with shrimp and truffle was amazing, don't miss it. The plates were cleaned, thank God.

05/10/2025: A surprising venue with welcoming rooms. A varied menu at a reasonable price. The staff is welcoming. Recommended.

17/09/2025: Very good food and impeccable service, but a €5 bottle of water and, especially, a €0.375 Pigato for €19 are unacceptable....

13/09/2025: Restaurant in the beautiful old part of town with high ceilings - food not to our taste - poorly cooked curnilio sauce lacking that certain something

18/10/2025: Super cool little bistro, great food and service, you are right in the middle of Italian life 😀

22/09/2025: Excellent cocktails and really unique food. The service was super friendly.

17/09/2025: We ate outside in this beautiful little square in Borgo Castello in Loano in September 2025... we were not satisfied... the bread seemed old, the breadsticks were not packaged in little packets but artisanal ones and they were stale... The vegetable appetizer included for two a few pieces of dry farinata, a small omelette and pieces of savory herb pie, things that are also made at home... there was nothing, for example, some vegetables in batter or two balsamic onions to accompany. In short, without imagination, then I chose fish ravioli with hazelnuts but they didn't have much of a fishy flavor and the portion was minimal. For the second courses nothing appealed to me and like me I felt like I was at a table next to me, the same conclusion... the service was quite fast, few tables to serve and the girl serving was kind... The desserts were good, average, all in all a disappointment... I wouldn't go there again...

16/09/2025: The food is good, although not everything is freshly prepared. The lady serving the tables is friendly. The menu is typical Ligurian. I highly recommend it.

28/10/2025: A typical Ligurian trattoria where we always love to return. Authentic and delicious dishes made with the highest quality ingredients. Fair prices and very knowledgeable and fast service. Smart guys!!!! Well done, you're the best!!!!

27/10/2025: Always a guarantee for excellent local dishes. The fresh pasta is fantastic!!

15/08/2025: Characterful location, excellent food from a truly well-designed tasting menu. If you want to eat in Imperia at a traditional seafood restaurant, this is the place to go. Highly recommended.

14/08/2025: What a discovery! A succession of incredible dishes typical of Italian cuisine. If you are in Imperia, this is the restaurant to visit!!!

12/09/2025: We came here based on a recommendation from our AirBnB landlord and we didnt regret it. The place is apparently famous for the seafood dishes and it was indeed very fresh and tasty. I tried a local specialty 'Cappun Magru' which I never had before and it was really good. The wine menu is impressive, featuring wines from all over the world at very reasonable prices. We ended up trying two local wines based on the recommendation of the owner. He was very helpful and talkative throughout the whole evening. I recommend trying this place when you are in the area.

06/09/2025: Quiet place, food...so-so. The seafood appetizer (several types of fish) all had the same vinegary flavor. The gurnard ravioli were raw and soaked in butter. The dessert was good. Even when we wanted to eat the main course, they took away the plates and cutlery. The owner was quite rude/non-existent.

18/10/2025: One of my favorite restaurants in the area, it always satisfies my craving for fresh fish, often raw, and always excellent. The chef makes a wasabi mayonnaise that's brilliant but addictive. Last time I tried the fish tartare, which was wonderful, and the fried shrimp, squid, and vegetables—I was so happy! I also adore the owner... but don't tell him!

06/10/2025: An excellent restaurant, found by chance while strolling through the city streets. The dishes were well-prepared, the service was attentive, short, and pleasant. I'd definitely return if I were to pass through this area again. The prices were in line with the quality of the food offered, and the portions were more than generous.

15/09/2025: We celebrated my mother's birthday (89 years old) at the request of my father (90), who fondly remembered dining at this restaurant with his family since he was young/child, a detail that testifies to the long history of this place. The atmosphere is familiar and welcoming, the service very friendly, and the food truly excellent, with flavors reminiscent of tradition. It was a simple, authentic, and very pleasant lunch that made us feel right at home. A place we happily recommend and where we hope to return soon.

06/09/2025: Dedicated to those who love to eat well! Don't miss the spectacular cheese focaccias served with exceptional prosciutto. There are so many first courses, it's hard to choose. Then it gets even worse with the delicious, homemade dessert!
