I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

10/09/2025: Great food, we'll go there again tomorrow!

03/09/2025: We made a reservation with the chef, who seemed very arrogant, listless, and unfriendly. Two days later, when we went there for dinner, our impressions were confirmed. We enjoy eating out often (we went to restaurants eight times in those two weeks alone), and never before have we been treated so poorly by the service. The plates were thrown listlessly onto our table, and the words "please" and "thank you" were only spoken by us (okay, only at the beginning, then we adjusted to the surroundings). We had two appetizers, a starter, and two main courses, none of which were salty and didn't have much in the way of spices. Only the beans were quite spicy, but that didn't match the rest of the plate at all. Every dish could be done better by a housewife! The listless staff and the subpar quality of the food prompted us to have a glass of wine, dessert, and espresso at another restaurant. We've never done that before, but we've never felt as mistreated and unwelcome, either at home or abroad, as we did at Emy's! The location is great, by the way, and the terrace is really nice, but with this kind of staff, the ambiance isn't worth three stars.

27/08/2025: Great cocktails and friendly staff. Accidently left my hat there and one of the staff came running down the hill looking for me to return it. Very appreciated.

01/08/2025: I always find it difficult to give negative feedback; my nature is to always celebrate the positive, but this time I was quite disappointed! I had their version of the Negroni, which actually turned out to be a bland, unbalanced, and characterless drink. Next, I tried five (yes, five) Cantabrian anchovies for €9. They looked excellent on paper, but in the end, they were just an appetizer disguised as a gourmet dish. The aperitif, overall, wasn't great: little attention was paid, no noteworthy offerings, everything was very ordinary. But the worst came when a third person joined our table: they weren't brought anything to eat, not even a peanut. A detail that speaks volumes about the customer service. The location, on the other hand, is truly beautiful! I hope my experience was just a fluke and that next time I can post a very positive review!!

02/09/2025: Focacceria offering a wide selection of traditional Ligurian sweet and savory delicacies. The classic Ligurian focaccia is delicious. The woman at the counter is very friendly, and the prices are fair.

03/07/2025: Excellent focaccia and the Moroccan specialties are a must-try!

10/09/2025: Everything was very good, we ordered a whim of mozzarella and fried fish, for the pasta with tomatoes, very tasty, definitely worth it.

04/09/2025: What a find, a superb restaurant, great service and some of the best food I have ever had..

21/09/2025: Arriving around 9:00 PM, we asked if there were four free seats and were told to come in 30-40 minutes, as the tables for the second sitting, which started at 9:30 PM, would be free. When we arrived, after 40 minutes, they still didn't have a place for us to sit and dine because, according to them, the second sitting hadn't started yet; it was around 10:10 PM. So we decided to leave because their attitude toward us seemed unclear and unfair, in the sense that it would have been enough to say, "I don't have a seat for the second sitting either because those with reservations have priority. If you're not in a hurry, I'll seat you after the reserved tables." These things were not said to us. Guys, clarity comes first. We felt like we were being mocked; it doesn't take much, not a couple of misplaced, complacent laughs.

21/09/2025: The place located in the center of Sarzana is very welcoming as is the kind and trained staff who with a smile accompany you to the table, the excellent food and the space-age burgers, not to mention the unique freshly made chips, highly recommended if you want to spend a nice evening accompanied by excellent food and reasonable prices.

11/06/2025: Sono andata in questo locale con la famiglia e ci siamo trovati benissimo. La farinata è davvero buona, sia nella versione classica ce con lo stracchino. Locale semplice ma accogliente.

08/06/2025: Oltre a mangiare delle farinate di una bontà eccezionale, direi la migliore, la titolare Vanessa, ha un naturale talento nella gestione del locale anche nelle situazioni in cui molti altri avrebbero difficoltà, lei mostra sempre un sorriso … Dovrebbero essere tutti così… bravissimi/a.

30/06/2025: Place with pros and cons: the good features include the fun karaoke system and the quality of the food (I tried the sgabei), but the portions are rather "minimal" and the "homemade" service leaves a bit to be desired. In addition, I find it absolutely necessary to increase the indications on the signs of the nearby streets, because, unless a person is very knowledgeable about the area, it will be difficult to get there based on the small signs present at the moment.

11/06/2025: Everything very approximate, low level quality and display.... Served at the table in slippers.

22/09/2025: Perfect cappuccino, the barista knows his job!

13/09/2025: Excellent, and that would be enough to say it all. The food is very good. The courtesy is the added bonus, topped off with an unusual Ligurian charm. I highly recommend it.

27/08/2025: We went there a while ago for a spritz, watered down and with four pieces of crap to eat, incredibly expensive, and they don't even offer table service. Two days ago, my husband and I had coffee and a croissant, prices you wouldn't even pay at a service station, but the most absurd thing was that there were three of them behind the counter, only serving us, and they didn't take us into consideration. They were chatting and laughing among themselves as if we were transparent. I work as an employee myself, and I would never allow myself to be treated like that. Not recommended.

22/08/2025: 8 euros for a couple of simple bottled beers and not even two chips or pieces of pizza... really sad for it being aperitif time

26/07/2025: Bel ristorante proprio all'inizio della zona pedonale del paese, con bellissima vista sul mare. Piatti di pesce molto buoni, servizio giovane, attento, molto gentile e disponibile.

20/07/2025: Buon ristorante nel borgo con vista sul golfo. Piatti classici liguri nella norma e buon servizio. Prezzo un po’ eccessivo…ma si paga la posizione.

31/08/2025: A simple place, excellent food, and very helpful staff—in short, highly recommended, especially for those with no expectations.

15/06/2025: Very old structure. There are only 2 bathrooms per floor. Nothing interesting but for those who want to spend little this is the top. The food is very good!

17/09/2025: Excellent farinata, informal and homely atmosphere.

26/08/2025: The wait times after ordering were very long, and the dishes were brought to diners at different times, with the food already lukewarm. The organization was poor, and for example, we couldn't order what was missing due to the understaffing. The price was decidedly high compared to the service provided from the entrance to the cashier.

13/09/2025: A very distinctive venue in an equally unique location. It's long been reminiscent of an 18th-century post office. A delightful experience. The staff are friendly and polite. Recommended.

05/09/2025: Not recommended for a business lunch, too expensive. I was traveling to Calizzano for work and stopped at this osteria for lunch. It's not an osteria, it has the prices of a Michelin-starred restaurant, but it's not. You should do the classic business menu.

26/08/2025: Very nice place, very kind staff, and very good food! The prices are fair for the food, the location, and the service. Highly recommended.

24/08/2025: Not amazing, not bad. It's a chicken sandwich. Food on the go which served a purpose.

27/09/2025: They got the dishes wrong, the wrong wine arrived and we dined on the porch with no privacy... so-so...

24/09/2025: The pizzas were delicious, and the service was friendly and fast. The ambiance was okay, but nothing special. The experience was further marred by the fact that we were ultimately charged €28 for the supposedly €10 bottle of white wine, even though this wasn't announced beforehand.
