I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

30/08/2025: Everything was good, a satisfying fish dinner. The service was friendly and attentive, but never intrusive. As for the prices, perhaps a few euros less could be appreciated, but it's not much; overall, they're quite reasonable. I was there during the summer, and reservations are clearly essential. I still recommend a visit...

22/08/2025: Had dinner this evening. A simple lime spaghetti with 4 pieces of shrimp. Good, but 18 euros seems a bit too much. The best is the variety of shellfish. I'm sorry to speak ill of them, but they seemed like someone else's leftovers. Half a crab shell. Inedible. Three small triangles of calamari. 19 euros. We asked for an explanation and were told no one had ever complained. So, disappointed, we decided to leave without eating another course we'd ordered, imagining yet another disappointment. In the end, we paid 54 euros for a first course and an appetizer. Half a liter of wine on tap was 9 euros, which was excessive. Water was 3 euros, which was fair. 5 euros for a cover charge. I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

17/08/2025: Sunday lunch, excellent quality cuisine, homemade pasta made by chef Cinzia, truly delicious with equally delicious sauces... I discovered a place that truly satisfied me, both for the food and the hospitality. A regular customer. Highly recommended.

15/08/2025: Choose for a gastronomic experience like at home, touch the charm of the countryside and homemade food

20/08/2025: We expected more from a Michelin star 🙄 The octopus pasta tasted exclusively of bacon and was very salty, the lobster was okay but not a highlight. The Cinque Terre wine is excellent, but only 0.1 liters per glass. Overall, it's average and overpriced. It's right on the main street, so it's noisy.

17/08/2025: Excellent quality, excellent service, a naturally elegant setting, without being overly pretentious. The menu always caters to a variety of needs, with clear and simple offerings, without overwhelming flavors and ingredients.

03/09/2025: Sadly, our experience here was rather inhospitable. We first sat in the “no self-service” zone and waited 20 minutes for a waiter. After watching two other customers take their coffee and food out by themselves to sit in the area next to us, we decided to do the same. The customer service inside was no better. The man speaking with my wife was unfriendly, and we got the impression that foreigners are not particularly welcome. After ordering 2 cappuccinos, a ham and cheese croissant, and 2 cornetti (which tasted at least a day old), the waiter finally came and addressed us in a rather unfriendly manner in Italian. We tried speaking English, but he left in a huff. It seemed like he was complaining about the service charge, but with 5 plates, where else were we supposed to go? I tried explaining the situation again inside, but they just shrugged it off and looked at me with clear disdain. All in all, it was not a pleasant experience. Boccia across the street is much nicer—with better coffee, service, and food. Would not return to Café Defilla.

28/08/2025: We came to this place for a hot tea, and sat inside due to the bad weather. After about ten minutes, we asked a staff member how long it would be before we could order, and he responded rather rudely. After another ten minutes, we left without having ordered anything. Terrible experience.

01/07/2025: Very kind. Healthy food, honest prices, very clean toilets

25/06/2025: Excellent fish-based lunch in a young and quality restaurant

07/07/2025: Really bad lunch experience. Meat ravioli with ragù defrosted and placed in the pan with all its water slop (see photo). Luckily we recommended it, my wife is still digesting the ravioli after 7 hours. Carbonara gives a heavy stomach, I wonder how this is possible given that there are 3 ingredients. Watered down and tasteless coffee. Smelly toilet and local kept in dirt. I should have read the reviews before stopping. At least the waitress was kind, helpful and patient, thank goodness she was there. Not recommended

24/06/2025: Very good carbonara and great service, despite the waiter being very busy.

15/07/2025: Good coffee, excellent croissants, courtesy and friendliness.

03/06/2025: A very nice place, friendly staff, and attentive service. They even thought of our dog and provided water. The pitch is great. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

29/08/2025: Wonderful experience. The room was always spotless. The owners and staff were extremely kind and helpful. Very close to the beach. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended.

25/07/2025: We stayed for three days, what can I say, everything was impeccable, you feel like you're part of the family.

06/09/2025: We didn't like it at all. We ordered mussels for lunch, both tiny and overcooked. We also ordered a frutti di mare pizza. The pizza came with mussels, shrimp, and clams, all in the shell. If I order a pizza and have to clean all the seafood, the pizza will be frozen. Plus, it was nothing special; it looked like just bread with tomato and the occasional mussel. Finally, the pasta amatriciana wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Overall, we wouldn't recommend it.

05/09/2025: Popped in here after strolling the main streets where everything was full already, so glad we ended up finding this place. They sat us straight away, and service after that was quick and accommodating. Dinner was absolutely delicious! Both the pizza and the pasta were large portions and full of flavour. Would highly recommend.

08/08/2025: Truly a nice discovery, a bar where you can eat WELL, excellent meat and vegetables!

29/07/2025: I ordered the Beyond burger with a gluten free bun. They brought me a meat burger which I took a bite of and immediately knew something was off. When I asked if that was my Beyond patty I ordered, they said they were out of Beyond. No apology whatsoever. I feel like after 8 years of not eating animal flesh I broke my vegan streak and it’s a shame people don’t understand how horrible that is to a vegan 😔

30/05/2025: Als je een mooie plek zoekt met een redelijk diner dan zou dat hier kunnen. We hebben daar gegeten , was niks mis mee maar aan de bediening schort nog wel wat …zo stond onze gekoelde witte wijn een kwartier in de zon te wachten( dat had al een teken kunnen zijn, onze wijn was niet het enige koele drankje dat de weg naar de tafel niet vinden kon) Op het eten hoefden we niet lang te wachten maar toen we uitgegeten waren hebben we bijna 3 kwartier zitten wachten, de seintjes kwamen niet aan en ook de mensen aan de tafeltjes naast ons keken wat er aan de hand was…. Erg jammer op deze manier geen dessert en koffie. Uiteindelijk zelf maar naar binnen gelopen en afgerekend bij een zeer onvriendelijke en onprofessionele kassa meneer … Eens maar nooit meer , voor het eerst in alle jaren Italië snap ik dat mensen zeggen dat ze niet vriendelijk zijn. Gelukkig zijn er in Chiavari veel betere leukere en gezellige restaurants waar je wel een fijne avond uit eten kan… dit is onze eerste hele slechte ervaring en die deel ik dan ook….

30/05/2025: Very good and frendly Service. Food was exzellent and the House Wine is the best which I ever Drink. And as well the view is brilliant.

10/06/2025: Succulent. N’hésitez pas très très bon restaurant et personnel sympathique. Spaghetti alle vongole extra et la tarte tumaline incontournable

06/06/2025: Das Tumelin gehört mit dem Gattabriga und dem La Loggia zu den 3 besten Restaurants in Levanto! Der frisch zubereite Doradenfisch ist einfach nur herrlich und vergeht auf der Zunge. Auch die Vor - & Nachspeisen sind einfach nur zauberhaft. Die Weinauswahl ist erstklassig. Der langjährige und megafreundliche Oberkellner ist super professionell und megafreundlich und sucht vergebens seinesgleichen in Levanto. Das Tumelin ladet zum verweilen ein!

10/08/2025: We had a nice and consistent dinner. Unless you look for fresh seafood only (items which are not are signalled, of course) I can recommend you the Tucano. No pretentious, good dishes.

21/07/2025: Very good pizza, a little bit of a backstreet place, excellent service, especially since we arrived around 10pm, decent desserts, fair prices

11/09/2025: An excellent dinner with simple ingredients, beautifully prepared and presented! The atmosphere is refined, elegant, but not stuffy. The young chef Mattia Pecis and his team are excellent. The service was also excellent. Highly recommended!

07/09/2025: food was inedible. service was terrible.
