I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

06/10/2025: Visiting the Rolli palaces is very interesting. Not all of these palaces have preserved their interiors, but the Red Palace is the richest in this regard, boasting high-quality works of art, numerous frescoes, and authentic interior furnishings. The White Palace also has paintings by Rubens, for example, while the Tursi Palace boasts a statue by Canova and violins once played by Poganini. The tour includes a visit to the courtyard between the palaces. I really wanted to see the standard of living of the Genoese nobility, and a visit to this museum gives a complete picture. They also host temporary exhibitions. In short, it's the whole package.

24/09/2025: Palazzo Rosso is part of a trio of palaces, along with Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Doria-Tursi, that can be visited as part of the Musei di Strada Nuova. A combined admission ticket to the Musei di Strada Nuova costs 9 euros. There was no long line at the ticket office. I recommend leaving this castle to the very end. It is one of the best-preserved examples of Genoese Baroque architecture and one of the palaces listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Palazzi dei Rolli system. Built between 1671 and 1677 for the Brignole-Sale family, one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Genoa, it owes its name to the red façade, characteristic of this building. In 1874, Maria Brignole-Sale, Duchess of Galliera, donated the palace and its collections to the city, thus initiating the establishment of a public museum. The façade is in the late Baroque style, distinguished by its decorative details and intense color. The interiors are richly decorated with frescoes and stuccos, including those by Gregorio De Ferrari and Domenico Pioli. The palace retains the layout of a typical Genoese aristocratic residence, with stately halls and private apartments. The collection is one of the most valuable paintings in Genoa, encompassing works by Italian, Flemish, Spanish, and French masters. Italian Painting: - Guido Reni – Portrait of a Lady Dressed as a Goddess - Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) – Samson Captured by the Philistines - Bernardo Strozzi – Portrait of an Old Man and other paintings with religious and secular themes Flemish Painting: - Anthony van Dyck – several portraits of Genoese aristocrats (Van Dyck lived in Genoa from 1621 to 1627, creating numerous portraits of the local elite) - Paolo Rubens (Peter Paul Rubens) – works with religious and mythological themes Spanish and French Painting: - Francisco de Zurbarán – Saint Francis in Ecstasy - Murillo – Girl with a Coin - Philippe de Champaigne – Portrait of Cardinal Richelieu The Palazzo Rosso is the heart of the Musei di Strada Nuova collection, showcasing European art from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Thanks to its preserved interior decorations and rich collection of paintings, it offers an insight into the world of the Genoese aristocracy and its patronage of the arts. The only thing the palace staff should have paid attention to is the state of the restrooms. I'm horrified to conclude that dingy visitor bathrooms, without a toilet seat and with a broken cistern, are a shameful standard in Italy. Shameful!!!

08/10/2025: The appetizers were good, especially the mussel soup. The fried anchovies were dry and the breading was way too thick. The main course consisted of fried calamari, shrimp, and vegetables—the vegetables were just breaded, with no sauce—just dry. The cod in cream with pesto was okay. We expected much more based on the excellent reviews.

06/10/2025: Beautiful, cozy restaurant. Good service. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Highly recommended. The price/performance ratio was perfect for us.

08/10/2025: A must-see in the Cinque Terre! The service is impeccable 👌 and the food is very good from start to finish. The value for money is much better than most restaurants in the Cinque Terre. The setting is also very cute, a small, friendly room with careful decoration.

06/10/2025: Everything is incredible. I recommend the varied seafood appetizer, unmissable. The service is super attentive. The house wine is excellent; they deserve 10 stars! The waitresses explain everything with incredible patience and excellence.

27/08/2025: Very nice. I'd been to this place years ago, when they opened, and I found another location next door. Photos of this experience? Unfortunately, no...we left for the ravioli in Ternano, in Valbrevenna. Considering the line, we'd have dinner at 10 p.m., so, super hungry, we headed to where I'd been several years ago. There's a wide selection of pinsas, platters, first and second courses, including grilled ones, and of course, excellent beer. I chose the traditional pinsa, a light dough, excellent tomato and mozzarella, with a glass of Nebbiolo delle Langhe Alte Rocche Bianche, and I can assure you, the wines are also excellent.

26/08/2025: Dinner for four, excellent beer and excellent meat!

13/10/2025: The best place for ravioli - it was a phenomenal experience. We did the 8 course and the local wine was really tasty. Impressive prices, great service and beautiful mountain farm setting, go visit - you will not regret it

11/10/2025: Delicious experience, ravioli, grilled vegetables, grilled meats. It was very, very good for a very reasonable price. Thank you.

20/09/2025: Great food and amazing atmosphere, great service

14/09/2025: Absolutely amazing experience. Top notch nouvelle cuisine using the Italian classics. Don’t miss the Funghi Porcini, the Vegetarian Spaghettini, the Carbonara and the unique Panna Cotta with basil and olives. Super location, product, service and price-value.

08/09/2025: Very well-kept restaurant, friendly, well-trained, and very professional staff, and carefully selected, high-quality food. The "carnivore" offerings are a bit limited! Good

09/10/2025: A very beautiful place, with meticulous attention to detail. Excellent, high-quality cuisine. I recommend the ravioli au tuccu (borage ravioli with veal ragù and porcini mushrooms)...truly delicious. My compliments to the chef. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive.

06/10/2025: Too expensive for the quality. The gnocchi (with creamed zucchini, mussels, and calamari) were bland and undercooked. €15 for a mushroom appetizer (price not listed on the menu) was disproportionate to the quantity and quality of the dish.

04/10/2025: Fantastic restaurant, food delicious 😋 and host so friendly. Highly recommend 👌

02/10/2025: A refined atmosphere and impeccable service: thank you for this unforgettable evening and the extraordinary cuisine. My birthday party couldn't have ended more beautifully.

23/08/2025: The pizzas are very good, I highly recommend this place!

05/10/2025: Very busy but were able to fit us in lovely meal and very generous servings

04/10/2025: Seafood was so fresh and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Maybe best seafood pasta I’ve ever had if not top 3. Wish I could’ve tried more of their pastas.

01/09/2025: I went with friends. The atmosphere was quiet, the food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the price was right! Vegetarian friendly.

30/08/2025: A traditional restaurant with a wide variety of delicious dishes. I recommend their specialty, "panigacci," with cold cuts and cheeses. The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxing and family-friendly. Affordable prices and parking are available. Highly recommended.

02/09/2025: The atmosphere is very welcoming, refined, and elegant. There are three small rooms, with a total of 4-5 tables. The food is excellent. Chef Carlo kindly personally ensures that everything is to our liking. A guest with celiac disease is attentively looked after. Impeccable service. Fair quality/price ratio.

18/08/2025: My partner and I celebrated our eighth anniversary at this restaurant. It's an extremely intimate setting with impeccable service. Chef Carlo welcomed us like we were his children, making us feel at home and providing an unforgettable experience. The quality of the food is undeniable, as is the chef's passion for cooking it. Highly recommended.
