I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

18/05/2026: The restaurant enjoys a truly beautiful location: it's right on the promenade, practically steps from the sea. The view and atmosphere are truly breathtaking, especially if you choose to eat outside. There are two types of spaces: an outdoor area for al fresco lunch or dinner, and an indoor dining room. Inside, the restaurant isn't very large, and the decor is rather simple, with no special details. However, the atmosphere is still welcoming and charming, making it a comfortable place to be. There's nothing to complain about as to the service: it was fast, and the staff was kind and helpful throughout the dinner. They made us feel at ease. As for the food, I have to be honest: it wasn't bad. We didn't have a bad meal; the dishes were accurate and beautifully presented, but no one made us say "wow!"!!! In short, honest cuisine that gets the job done without leaving any lasting memories. With one notable exception, however: the CREMOSO AL PISTACHIO WITH CACAO CRUMBLE. Now, that was truly exceptional!!! A carefully crafted, balanced dessert, with a distinct pistachio flavor and the perfect contrast of the cocoa crumble. That alone is worth a portion of the review: if I were to return, I'd do it just to have it again. In short: a pleasant place, an excellent seaside location, excellent service, average cuisine, but with a truly standout dessert.

23/04/2026: Always greeted with a smile. For years, the dishes have retained the same flavor. A true delight.

15/03/2026: We just got back, my son's baby pizza had spoiled stracchino cheese; unfortunately, we noticed it about halfway through. If anything happens to them, they'll see me again. The pizzas have a good dough, but they top them with tomato sauce and poor-quality cheeses. Disarmingly slow. In the end, the waiter gave my son a marshmallow (without asking permission from us, who don't give that stuff to our son), so that created a problem because obviously my son wanted it. These are things you shouldn't do, especially if the marshmallow is EXPIRED! (Luckily, we didn't make him eat it.) To conclude (two baby pizzas, buffalo mozzarella and stracchino. Two regular pizzas, marinara and buffalo mozzarella. 1 small water. 1 can of Coke Zero, 40 euros. Very excessive in my opinion. Another nice X for yet another place that survives on people who don't know how to eat.

31/12/2025: Christmas dinner for more than 50 people. A cold appetizer consisting of fish salad that was certainly not fresh but from an industrial can, and two slices of bread. The two first courses were meat ravioli and fish rice, served on the same plate. The second course was a slice of roast beef. The waitress was annoyed that we had a stroller with a sleeping baby in the middle of the tables, and the request at the time of the bill was 55 euros instead of 50 as we had agreed. Even 50 euros would have been excessive considering how much we didn't eat. In my opinion, it was worthy of a nightmare kitchen.

07/03/2026: We've eaten here several times and have always left more than satisfied. The cacio e pepe is excellent, not to mention the carbonara, which is delicious. I personally love their tripe with pecorino cheese and their legendary meatballs. Gregorio is the perfect host with his jokes and contagious charm 😄. And anyway, eating excellent Roman cuisine in Genoa is priceless. Well done 😃

07/03/2026: Pleasant trattoria, excellent Roman food and friendly and welcoming staff

18/04/2026: We had lunch at Easter. Everything was delicious. Excellent service. Although the place could use a good renovation, the location, cleanliness, and friendly staff are truly worth it. Thank you for promoting a cuisine that respects life and the environment. We'll be back.

12/04/2026: I only had dinner at the restaurant, and everything was very good. It's not easy to find popular vegan cuisine, and we were really happy. The prices were very fair, the service was homely, and very friendly.

23/05/2026: A recently renovated pastry shop in the center of Savona. High-quality pastries, friendly and delicious pastry chefs, professional service, and reasonable prices.

09/05/2026: The pastry shop is magnificent, with incredible cakes and delicious cannelloni. The staff, however, aren't very friendly but are helpful.

02/06/2026: Last night we went to Matteo's to eat a pizza and my son wanted to try the focaccia with buffalo mozzarella and tuna and rocket tartare and he was more than satisfied, compliments to all the staff, nice place and honest prices

31/05/2026: We had dinner this evening, despite it being packed we waited and they gave us a table, it was really crowded but the staff was super kind and professional the whole time, the food was really good, the portions are excellent and the price is right, when I come back I will definitely know where to go to eat

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

13/09/2025: They have permanently closed their business starting September 10, 2025

07/09/2025: It's been a go-to place for the whole family for years! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The menu is varied, and the pizzas and focaccias are excellent. And the value is excellent! It's a shame the place has now had to move and has just closed in Alassio. We'll miss it!

13/06/2026: You eat well and the location is worth it

16/05/2026: When you're at Pino's, you're in a paradise, on a stage of beauty. Everything around you speaks of great beauty and history. The authentic history of my people, my sea, my city. Pino is an excellent host; he cares about his guests, pampering them and spoiling them with delicious traditional dishes. Whenever I pass through Genoa, my must-visit is the restaurant in Nevi di Pino, and all my bad thoughts dissolve in the marvelous sea. Thank you.

23/05/2026: Delicious artisanal ice cream. Impeccable service.

18/05/2026: In my opinion, the best place in Millesimo! Youthful and well-kept atmosphere! Wide selection of small pastries and cakes! Panettone and Colomba cakes are amazing! My favorite is the triple chocolate one: try it!! Highly recommended for an excellent breakfast (sweet and savory) but also for a nice aperitif! The outdoor terrace is also fantastic! Highly recommended if you're passing through Millesimo!!

20/05/2026: We ate pizza, trofie, and tiramisu, and everything was very fresh and delicious. The tiramisu was freshly made, so even the coffee was still hot. The pizza had sliced ​​prosciutto on it. Highly recommended.

10/05/2026: We had been to this pizzeria several years ago and had fond memories of it. Now gone. The location, with the rocks on which the structure is built, is very evocative, but the reality of the pizzeria is much less so. The pizza dough is almost saltless, the aftertaste is almost sweet, the wait is decidedly excessive, but above all, if you order a pizza with buffalo mozzarella, you expect mozzarella to be on the pizza! ... four or five white spots on a sea of ​​red-pink, the buffalo must have escaped elsewhere... A final unpleasant note: the restrooms: 1. Toilet paper is provided in the restrooms; there was none in the men's room, and napkins were used in the women's room. 2. The restroom doors must be able to close: the women's room not only doesn't lock from the inside, but it doesn't even stay ajar unless someone holds it shut with their hand.... A fond memory. Gone.

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.

13/06/2026: A fantastic discovery! From the moment we arrived until dessert, everything was perfect. The service was impeccable, warm, professional, and attentive. As for the food, it was a true delight: the fisherman's stew was simply sublime, generous, and bursting with flavor. The Milanese veal cutlet was also perfect, cooked to perfection and delicious. And the desserts provided a beautiful ending to the meal. Quality ingredients, generous portions, and a top-notch team. Honestly, there's nothing to criticize. I recommend this place without hesitation and will gladly return. Bravo to the whole team! Thank you so much for this splendid experience. Everything was perfect, compliments to the chef and the whole team. See you soon! Laurent Greetings from a Corsican!

08/06/2026: Fresh fish and a beautiful outdoor view of the Ventiglia sea. Pizza is available.

10/06/2026: We ordered the beef spaghetti, I'd give it a 6 out of 10, and the pesto, 5 out of 10. The waiters were all friendly. I recommend it.

28/05/2026: It's too simple for Italian cuisine. For that price, I expected more. In general place and service are good, especially if you are very hungry.

14/06/2026: Discovered a few years ago during a weekend in Pietra Ligure, following the reviews while searching for a good Ligurian focaccia to enjoy on the beach, I found what has become, for me, the BEST Ligurian focaccia ever. Since then, it's been a regular stop on every vacation to Pietra Ligure. They're so good that, on the day of departure, I always bring some home... just to postpone the goodbye until next year. My favorite? Focaccia with crescenza cheese, simply irresistible. But the truth is, they're all amazing. Also noteworthy are the bread and countless cakes, each one better than the last, made with special flours and top-quality ingredients. Compliments to Simona and all the staff: courtesy and kindness are the hallmarks here, just like the best Ligurian tradition.

07/06/2026: A must-visit! Recommended for its wide selection of pizzas, each one better than the last, excellent ingredients, and all kinds of dough.
