I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

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.

08/04/2026: Real home cooking, everything excellent, plentiful, fair price

17/01/2026: Everything is perfect and delicious and there is a swimming pool where the children can have fun.

09/04/2026: I had a truly excellent experience. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, the staff is friendly and always attentive, the dishes are prepared with fresh, local ingredients and presented with great care; every bite was delicious!!! A perfect place for both dinner and a pleasant evening. I will definitely be back!

21/10/2025: Very good dinner, the tapas idea was great! Perfect service...

05/04/2026: Amazing...delicious desserts in a huge variety, as well as small pizzas in various styles, plus bread and pastries, both savory and sweet! Friendly and attentive service! The value for money is truly incredible—unlike anything you'd find in a German bakery! The coffee and cappuccino are incredibly delicious and incredibly affordable! You should definitely stop by when you're feeling hungry! Absolutely top-notch!

27/02/2026: I was truly disappointed by my experience at Mondino Bakery. I bought a small piece of focaccia for €1.50, expecting at least something decent, but unfortunately, I was in for a nasty surprise. The focaccia was as heavy as lead. From the first bite, I understood why: it felt like a sponge soaked in oil that practically squished in my mouth. A truly unpleasant sensation. The oil, among other things, had a flavor that struck me as very poor quality, especially in the crust, which was even heavier. What left me perplexed was that there was an entire pan under the counter. I specifically asked for a center piece, but was told there were none left, and was given only the crust. Considering the pan was there, the answer seemed opaque. I truly felt "ripped off," and, in 30 years, it's the first time I've thrown away a focaccia. And to think I already drank the engine oil this morning... I certainly didn't need a second helping! A decidedly negative personal experience. I don't think I'll be back.

31/01/2026: Raw pizza, not recommended, the pizza was badly cooked and I certainly don't come to feed myself at your place, they brought me there and as far as I'm concerned I didn't like the way if he's not capable of making pizza it's not my fault and in any case 2 pizzas from the table came back raw

21/12/2025: Good pizza, excellent value for money! Highly recommended.

28/03/2026: Tonight, March 28, 2026, at 9:34 PM, excellent pizza and quality ingredients, even the dough was excellent. Friendly staff, super clean, and to say it, I'm from Bari, in Puglia. Congratulations guys, keep it up. Hugs, Gaetano.

15/02/2026: Very nice pizzeria and very good pizzas and very kind and courteous staff, and they always smile as if you were at home.

22/10/2025: A beautiful location with a sea view. A wide selection of delicious and excellent dishes, including the catch of the day. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would gladly return.

18/10/2025: We wanted an aperitivo. They kindly told us to choose our drinks and then offered San Carlo fries or a "fritturina." A few calamari and fried vegetables cost €26, bringing the total to €42 with a Ceres and an alcoholic drink. It was good, but it would have been better to let them know the price in advance, and anyway, it can't be that expensive.

25/12/2025: Home cooking... abundant... highly recommended... and fair prices

12/04/2026: Food was very good! Kids enjoyed their pasta carbonara

12/04/2026: A good place to watch people strolling by. Goffredo Mameli, who wrote the lyrics to the Italian national anthem, lived in the neighboring house.

04/12/2025: I ate too much but it was so good ❤️❤️❤️❤️

02/12/2025: I happened upon it by chance with a colleague of mine, we had a great time, good food and also pizza, good service and adequate price/quality ratio, if the opportunity arises I will return.

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: The boss is very friendly...you can tell he enjoys his job and is simply a good host.

19/04/2026: Amazing anchovy sandwich! Roberto is friendly, and I highly recommend listening to his recommendations. Highly recommended if you're visiting Finalborgo!

07/03/2026: Excellent dinner featuring local dishes. I came from Rome with friends to try the dishes and see the restaurant. The owner, Sabrina, served and welcomed us with infinite kindness. Quality food and service. I will gladly return. Laura

09/11/2025: Her charm surpasses her beauty. I will add nothing else.

09/10/2025: After a long hike, I was looking for a nice restaurant that opened at 6 p.m. It was a real hit: delicious food prepared with love and friendly service.

27/09/2025: Maybe the best meal we had in ten days in Italy. I’m shocked the place wasn’t packed. It was a little off the main drag but definitely worth the walk. I don’t know why it doesn’t have better reviews. But my experience was excellent. I had the shrimp ravioli and it was absolutely perfect.

15/04/2026: The pizza restaurant you'd want near your home, top-notch, everything's delicious. I recommend the pizza, thin and crispy. The ravioli and tagliatelle are amazing. The hosts, Silvana and Sandro, make you feel at home in every way. Very fair prices Recommended

07/04/2026: A small, family-run restaurant at the entrance to Badalucco. We had lunch on Easter Sunday even though we hadn't booked. The owners were very friendly, kind, and professional; they took care of us even though we didn't order the full menu. The restaurant is unpretentious, very tidy and clean. The food is good, with generous portions and very tasty. The service was very good, fast, and punctual. Excellent value for money. If we ever return to this area, we'll definitely be back.
