I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

02/06/2026: Welcoming atmosphere. The atmosphere is like a tavern, so it's convivial and relaxed. Feedback: The food is all very tasty and the portions are adequate. The menu is varied, with seafood and meat options to please all palates. The desserts are amazing. I highly recommend sitting down and sampling their cuisine.

04/05/2026: Home cooking always well-executed, in a casual and very welcoming atmosphere. Excellent for a Sunday family lunch, an evening downtown, or a business meeting. Pasta with mussels alla Spezzina is always top-notch!

01/05/2026: A rather disappointing experience. The waiter spoke very little Italian, and communication was difficult. The wait was very long: some dishes arrived immediately, while others seemed lost and took much longer to arrive. Furthermore, two appetizers were delivered incorrectly, and instead of apologizing, we were told it was our fault. It's a shame, because the food was reasonably good, but the service ruined everything.

29/12/2025: Great place! Friendly waitress!

07/05/2026: A cute, young, and smart place for a break in the heart of Spotorno.

02/05/2026: beautiful atmosphere... variety... of choice... everything very organized... the guy who manages the tables in the evening... professionally prepared and attentive... to details... also very good at establishing... that empathy... with the customer that makes him... excellence... and a winning menu... top

23/12/2025: You're hungry! Don't go! Monday lunch special, December 22, 2025: Two tiny portions of lasagna with no meat to speak of, plus one bottle of sparkling water (no coffee) = €32. Judging by the taste, we wondered if it was homemade. If you want to enjoy the view, why not, but the service was mediocre. We were disappointed.

19/12/2025: A really lovely bar, especially in the late afternoon, at sunset.

20/06/2026: We sat down, just the two of us, but after looking at the menu, we weren't satisfied. So we politely informed the woman that we preferred to leave. She charged us for the bottle of water she had just opened, which I find perfectly normal and understandable. However, she demanded that we pay for the cutlery, even though we hadn't touched anything or ordered any food! Charging for cutlery under these circumstances is simply unacceptable. In the end, we had to pay €11 in total to leave without having eaten. A very disappointing practice and a blatant lack of business sense.

25/05/2026: The wine list is excellent, but the servers are clearly bothered when you ask for something, even just the menu. A smile and helpfulness also count; we'll go elsewhere next time.

03/06/2026: Peaceful, relaxing spot for a drink

02/06/2026: Lovely family run bar. Very welcoming

08/05/2026: Good food and fresh fish, good service with a full place, I will be back!

05/04/2026: EASTER lunch...HORRIBLE...if this can be called a restaurant, let's insult the food. I strongly advise against it; it doesn't even deserve one star.

29/11/2025: This is the second time my family and I have visited this wonderful restaurant. Today my kids had pizza, while my husband and I had the fish menu. I can only confirm my first experience: a truly charming place, excellent food, and friendly, impeccable staff. Not to mention the owner, who is the real highlight. Highly recommended for the excellent food and very fair prices.

18/11/2025: Clean atmosphere, very friendly staff, decent pizza, nothing exceptional, but it's fine for a quick meal. A decent experience.

16/03/2026: Excellent location, very well-known and famous, excellent seafood, lots of activity on Saturdays, excellent clientele. Definitely worth a visit.

10/03/2026: Excellent restaurant, very good dishes, good value for money, adequate service, complete menu and always with quality products

07/12/2025: I tried a lunchtime meal with my son months ago... never again. Inattentive service, tiny portions, even unevenly distributed across tables, a menu that promises ingredients that then barely make an appearance on the dishes to save money. We're not there.

18/09/2025: Ottima cucina del grande Calogero e ottimo servizio in sala,locale informale per pranzi di lavoro a prezzi popolari....consigliatissimoooooo

19/12/2025: Very good traditional food! A nice surprise.

16/12/2025: If it doesn't rain, it's a mediocre club. If it rains, it's an unspeakable quagmire.

20/12/2025: Very nice place, in a quiet setting, excellent aperitifs, both for food and alcohol. I've also had dinner there, and the dishes are truly delicious. Highly recommended!

07/06/2026: The service and location are worthy of a trattoria and cooperative, which can also be interesting for a tourist to try, BUT the price of the dishes is decidedly that of a high-end restaurant with a certain level of service! So, go into a trattoria and you'll pay like a Michelin-starred restaurant!

07/06/2026: We arrived at the restaurant for lunch half an hour early, and despite the fact that there were no other customers and the place was completely empty, they wouldn't let us sit. A decidedly unpromising start. Our order was taken by an elderly gentleman with a disagreeable and unfriendly attitude. We'd been warned that Ligurians might not be the friendliest people in the world, but working in the restaurant industry, one would expect at least a basic level of courtesy and hospitality. From there, an exhausting wait: over an hour and a half for the first course. We ordered a fried dish that the menu promised calamari, shrimp, and mixed seafood, but there wasn't even a hint of calamari on the plate. I've had much better fried dishes, and at much more reasonable prices. When the first courses arrived, we were completely disappointed. This cuisine pretends to be homemade, but in reality it's just overdone with too much spice. The fish was certainly fresh, but unfortunately it hadn't been cleaned properly, an unacceptable detail in a seafood restaurant. To finish, we each ordered a dessert, which was edible only because, fortunately, it wasn't homemade. The final report was disastrous, further exacerbated by the indigestion that followed in the afternoon. I strongly advise against this place: save your time and spend your money somewhere much better.

13/04/2026: Excellent dinner, generous portions, friendly service and reasonable price.

04/04/2026: A very nice restaurant with good food. The fish platter is huge. It's best to eat there as a couple.

02/05/2026: An experience not to be missed! Very friendly staff and spectacular dishes with a unique view

26/04/2026: It was certainly an interesting and, in some ways, enjoyable experience, but honestly, I don't think I'd do it again. Let's start with the location: we're in Portofino, so the setting is undoubtedly evocative. However, the restaurant itself didn't particularly impress me aesthetically, and more importantly, it was cold during dinner. The heating wasn't on, and virtually all the guests were sitting in jackets or sweaters: we never managed to remove our jackets either, which impacted the overall experience. Regarding the cuisine, there's nothing to complain about about the professionalism of chef Mattia Pecis: he introduced himself personally, and his great passion and talent are evident. A young but already highly skilled man, he's the restaurant manager and the mastermind behind the menu. I truly have great respect for him. The tasting menu is interesting, with some truly excellent dishes: especially the Russian salad and the "garden of the vegetable garden," both extraordinary and perfectly executed, in true Cracco style but with a lovely personal touch. Other dishes, however, were more divisive: the "eye" was difficult to appreciate, both in terms of taste and aesthetics, while the bitter orange risotto wasn't particularly well received at the table and was even difficult to finish. Overall, the use of very bitter citrus fruits didn't convince me. A very positive note, however, was the customer service: they were extremely attentive to my lactose intolerance, demonstrating care and professionalism. The service overall was impeccable, with friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. The opportunity to tour the kitchen and receive explanations, such as how to dry-age the fish, was also greatly appreciated. One aspect I didn't like was the inability to choose different menus at the table: there were four of us and we were all forced to choose the same tasting menu, despite two options available at different prices. Finally, the price: definitely too high for the overall experience. We spent around €1,100 for four (a €210 tasting menu per person plus wine), and honestly, I don't think it was justified given what we ate. In short: an interesting experience, with its ups and downs, but not compelling enough to want to repeat.
