13/08/2025: Very friendly guy with good crepes 😊 I highly recommend a visit. Best regards from Austria 😉

04/03/2026: A super nice place with people who provide excellent service.

22/01/2026: Excellent pizzas and reasonable bill in a welcoming place

04/04/2026: One of my favorite places in Santa! I'm always sad when I pass by and find it closed. I usually start with some raw ham accompanied by their warm focaccia, which is truly excellent, and then continue with their recommendations for the daily specials. The ingredients are always top-quality, and the staff is extremely kind and welcoming. A place I always love to return to!

23/10/2025: Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food, great service. Sat out on the patio, beautiful night but they had heaters and blankets on standby. Wonderful service and recommendations on oysters and wine.

11/03/2026: An excellent 100% Arabica coffee, I have rarely had such a coffee.

08/03/2026: A pleasant discovery! Friendly, welcoming, and informal service. Tasty, original dishes! Several vegan and gluten-free options available. Well done everyone!

01/02/2026: Unfortunately, the worst restaurant I've been to in a very long time… over 20 euros for shrimp placed on ice, not peeled, and aioli that was aioli in name only, for over 20 euros!!! The same stuff you find at Carrefour 😰 Horrible snails… old parsley, not even chopped, salt, pepper… 🫢 what is this? I told the waitress I eat gluten-free, and she said okay… well, no, no bread, so that should have been mentioned before she let me order 28 euros worth of snails!!! Served without bread and without any side dish… my husband ordered a "soufflé" that looked more like a 3 cm thick block of dough… the ravioli with ragù were the only saving grace of this farce. You shouldn't try to call French cuisine by names when you don't know how to cook. In short, honestly, avoid this place. Besides, we live in Italy, and there are many other restaurants that are cheaper and much better quality!!!

03/12/2025: We've been frequenting Bistrot del Tempo Perduto for many years, and each time we find the same charm: a warm, refined, and attentive atmosphere where you immediately feel welcomed. The cuisine remains one of its strengths, with its traditional Mediterranean dishes, Ligurian cuisine with a delicate French influence, dishes that are always well-executed and never boring. The desserts are also noteworthy, with exceptional whipped cream reminiscent of the pastries of old. Special attention goes to the owner, Vanessa, and her staff: professional, kind, and always available, even when we arrived with our dog, who was welcomed without any problem and with great warmth. All this at an excellent quality-price ratio, which makes the experience even more pleasant and relaxing. A place where time truly seems to slow down, perfect for those seeking quality, atmosphere, and impeccable service. Highly recommended.

31/12/2025: An excellent French raclette. There's no dessert, but the wine is excellent.

29/12/2025: A wonderful alternative evening on vacation in Riva Ligure. Tired of eating fish every night, we tried this charming place and had a wonderful time. We ordered a meter-long platter with every delicacy imaginable, from cold cuts to fruit, accompanied by an excellent red wine and a flambéed Camembert. Truly remarkable in a casual and friendly atmosphere. We'll be back. CIAO THIERRY!

09/03/2026: An old-fashioned pastry shop with a counter full of pastries, more than half of which are vegan, and some are even gluten-free. A paradise where it was hard to choose. The owners are delightful people. If you're from Genoa or just passing through, don't miss the chance to try their creations. Thanks for the excellent quality.

31/12/2025: Truly embarrassing. Coming in here is like disturbing someone in their own home: rude, annoyed, and arrogant staff, zero manners and zero respect for the customer. No greetings, harsh responses, and a "if you don't like it, leave" attitude. The desserts aren't even worth the effort of putting up with such rudeness. Avoid without regret. Oh, and you have to issue a receipt if you charge that much for desserts and accept credit cards.
