I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

16/04/2026: Very nice place. That's about it. Service is very slow. There's a lot of pasta, but it's the cheapest kind, and the sauces are also clearly cheaply made. They're just trying to feed lots of tourists on the cheap. Better to go further inland to restaurants with homemade food. Even the two other restaurants nearby are significantly better. Update from yesterday: if someone doesn't want to eat, they put an empty plate next to them and demand the cover charge. I've never experienced such rudeness. I won't be trying again!

10/03/2026: Small, fine restaurant; communication as a German without Italian language skills was no problem thanks to the very friendly staff; the food (3 courses with coffee) was inexpensive, very tasty, large portions, and the dessert was incredibly delicious; authentic cuisine – simply a wonderful restaurant in a beautiful place.

03/03/2026: Amazing, beautifully topped pizzas (the Mare e Monti and the Matteo are top-notch), though a bit thin. The cheese focaccia is decent, and the desserts are excellent. Very attentive and friendly service in a lovely setting with an enviable view. I recommend trying it! The Fork discount applied correctly.

25/01/2026: A very spacious restaurant with a large veranda and garden, perfect for outdoor dining in the summer. The weather wasn't the best, but on a sunny day, the view is worth it. We had fried calamari, which was cooked to perfection and not at all greasy—excellent, I'd say. The service was quick and efficient. The only drawback is parking: limited near the restaurant, but about 100 meters away, there's a small square with some parking.

10/11/2025: I returned to this restaurant for dinner last night, as always, when I treat myself to excellent fresh fish at reasonable prices; and as always, I was not disappointed. Each time I choose different dishes, so I can try them all. This time, my friends and I had as appetizers: The very fresh and tender octopus with potatoes, and a mixed seafood antipasto (a fascinating dish from this restaurant that I highly recommend), followed by spaghetti alla brezza marinara for the first course, stuffed squid for the second course, and finally, chocolate soufflé for dessert. Everything was truly delicious!

08/11/2025: We went for lunch today and were amazed by the excellent food. We'll be back tomorrow.

20/03/2026: I swear I've never had a plate of Trofie with such a good pesto before, just the right amount of delicateness. RATING 10++ My girlfriend, who had the gnocchi, thought the same thing 🌱 Very well-kept and welcoming place, and super friendly staff. Thank you, we really had a great time 😍 Alex & Tali

17/03/2026: Really nice little place both during the day always sunny and in the evening for an aperitif... Antonio super top... everything he prepares... from desserts for breakfast to vegetable pies for lunches, everything delicious and of excellent quality... and Carlo always kind and friendly... if you pass by you can't miss stopping!!!

19/04/2026: Beautiful place at the center of wonderful street, charming stuff, good food and drink!

17/04/2026: Lovely customer service✨ The lady staff who helped us to decide what to order was speaking good English. The beautiful cannoli of the month with pistachio, caramel and raspberry was so good💛 Good coffee too!

18/04/2026: Very good food, the waitresses are very kind and helpful. Highly recommended for your aperitifs.

16/04/2026: I've been going to Ristoro Cucina & Bar every day for about a month, for breakfast and lunch. The food is good and the value is excellent. The girls who work there are extremely helpful, cheerful, and very professional—they make the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and tasty place for lunch.

19/11/2025: Qualified and friendly staff. Fast loading

28/07/2025: I had the opportunity to taste this Tuscan pasta in Florence.... I'd say it's the best I've eaten in recent years.... accompanied by a good wild boar sauce, it's the best....

02/11/2025: Friendly and very pleasant staff

15/03/2026: Very good pizza and very kind owner... Perfect

15/03/2026: Very good!!! In addition to quality, they stand out for their friendliness, kindness, and attention to customers.

07/04/2026: A place that stands out not only for its food, but for the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was incredible: we were served directly by the owner, who took the time to share wonderful stories that give the place a unique and authentic touch. The food was delicious, with well-balanced flavors and dishes that are truly enjoyable from beginning to end. The attention to detail is evident. Furthermore, the ambiance is spectacular, perfect for relaxing and having a good time, whether with a partner or friends. It's one of those places that feels special and different, where you not only eat well, but also create a memorable experience. Without a doubt, highly recommended if you're looking for good food, attentive service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger.

31/03/2026: UPDATE MARCH 2026 This year, breakfast was very uninspired: during our visit, there was no natural yogurt, and scrambled eggs weren't available until 8:30 a.m. APRIL 2025 Breakfast offered croissants (sometimes chocolate croissants), scrambled eggs (very good), fresh orange juice, and green tea, among other things. Some things take some getting used to, for example, when there's only fruit yogurt with the muesli and no plain yogurt. Delicious latte macchiato—sometimes you get a café latte instead (without milk foam), and sometimes the service is a bit sleepy.

15/03/2026: The food is good. Honestly, with a €35 menu excluding drinks, and comparing it to other places in the area, I expected something more. Of course, I respect your work, but I won't be your customer again.

15/01/2026: Disrespecting their customers doesn't do the innkeeper any credit. The reservation and service management system isn't working. I'm sorry, but I don't usually write negative reviews, but I hope it helps.

06/04/2026: The location is beautiful, but don't go before 6 pm! We went at 5:45 pm, spending €40 for two cocktails. We were hoping for something to eat, but all we got were olives and crisps... At least from 6 pm, the neighboring tables got 2 carrots and 2 pieces of focaccia. Still, it wasn't good value, but it was better than what we were offered!

01/03/2026: A splendid location on Calata Porto in Santa Margherita Ligure. We enjoyed an excellent aperitif. Prices are a bit high, but justified by the prime location on the harbor overlooking the city.

13/01/2026: We came on New Year's Day and spent it in this very nice and welcoming place. The staff was extremely friendly and always available.

25/12/2025: On Christmas Day, we had lunch at this restaurant like every year. We waited almost two hours for our appetizer when the restaurant owner, Mr. Massimo, served us. We complained about the wait, but instead of apologizing, he told us that next year you can do it somewhere else! He's truly rude, so we definitely won't be setting foot there again! Absolutely not recommended.

06/04/2026: I'd say the aperitivo is plentiful, so you can easily dine on one of their platters. The drinks are very good and well-prepared. The location is perfect for tourists and locals alike, and perfect for birthday parties and more.

04/04/2026: A typical bar in the Genoese alleyways, offering traditional cuisine and top-notch cocktails. Claudio is a great host.

30/03/2026: I had a lot of laughs with friends, unfortunately the rooms are very small. However, the meals are delicious. I recommend it for an overnight stay, but not for your vacation. I had diarrhea, so the toilets don't have locks, and the smell afterwards was awful. Add some nice-smelling spray.

24/03/2026: Terrible food and poor service: used toilet paper, defective bathroom door, abominable food
