I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

11/04/2026: Good food. Very fast service. Fair prices. Atmosphere... No comment - beautiful sea view, hearing the waves. Thanks for your hospitality! We'll always be happy to come back!!!

25/05/2026: Had breakfast. Very nice location, but I have to be honest, the brioche was average. There's a crazy menu with a wide variety of brioche options, and you're expecting it to be excellent, only to be average anyway. I just don't understand why they use disposable items! Which I find absurdly wasteful... for hygiene reasons? To avoid the dishwasher? Anyway, a little tip: it's May. If you're already pissed off now that the season hasn't even started in September, how do you feel? Good luck and have a great season.

24/05/2026: Beautiful bar on the Borghetto seafront, kind and helpful owner and staff, super breakfast, highly recommended

10/06/2026: Without a doubt the best focaccia I have ever eaten.

19/05/2026: We've been coming here for years to get focaccia, always delicious. Unfortunately, since the old owner, a young man who has now opened in another city in Liguria, passed away, this business has completely lost its value. The focaccia is absolutely not what it used to be; the quality has declined, and it's sitting in our stomachs like a brick. Furthermore, the staff behind the counter is not at all as friendly as the old ones: monosyllabic answers, no smiles, and no desire to help. Furthermore, it's often closed before closing time. We've tried stopping by several times to get focaccia here, but it's always been a huge disappointment, so after a certain point, we haven't been back. Highly not recommended.

17/04/2026: Anyone familiar with the parody of the Ligurians in the Pirates of the Caruggi can understand, after all, we are in Chiavari...🤭

12/04/2026: Quiet. Clean. Sound of the waves. Welcoming. Affordable. Unpretentious. Spartan. Parking. Perfect April.

04/07/2026: Possibly the worst pasta I had in all of Italy that didnt resemble any of the (two!) ingredients and instead of pecorino cheese, I got a plastic bowl with a bunch of packets from supermarket of some chemical parmigiano:)) Nightmare fuel!

21/06/2026: Nice place, but unprofessional waiter service, why?: you don't even have time to eat a bite before they ask you if you've finished and want dessert/coffee, if you sit on the outside benches in pairs, despite the fact that at that moment in the whole focacceria, there are only couples, they demand (on the owner's instructions, I suppose) if you give in, to move outside under a burning umbrella. I saw this done insistently, what a shame!

23/07/2026: Was craving carbonara, which I normally have in Roma on our annual visits to Italy, but Roma was not on our agenda this time. Stumbled on this place (saw the twinkling lights!), saw they had it on the menu so gave it a go. The carbonara was traditional and as good as I have had in Roma. Generous portion of guanciale and the egg yolk/cheese balance was perfect. We also had a lovely bottle of wine as recommended by the outstanding cameriere. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable. The place has a beautiful seaside interior to suit its location plus great italian pop classics playing in the background. The menu is diverse without being complicated. Lots of seafood options and nice wine selections. Price is very reasonable for the quality of the food and experience.

20/06/2026: La Paranza da Marina is an absolute gem. We have been there 4 times in a month ! The vongole with bottarga were simply outstanding, and the gambero rosso were among the best I’ve ever tasted—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The welcome and service were exceptional throughout our meal, with a special mention for Mario. He was always smiling, incredibly welcoming, and his positive energy was truly contagious. He made us feel like part of the family. This is a wonderfully warm, family-run restaurant where you can enjoy genuinely delicious food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. An unforgettable experience that I would happily recommend to anyone visiting the area!

22/05/2026: Excellent. Everything was neat and clean, and the prices were fair.

05/05/2026: Terrible experience. I will never go back. The owner is incredibly rude. Furthermore, she's not even honest. When I went to book, she told me a price; when I went to pay two days later, the price had gone up. This place is definitely one to avoid! One star is way too much.

31/05/2026: The pizza is half the size of the cardboard

28/05/2026: We stopped in for dinner before heading back and driving for two hours on the highway. We sat down right away and ordered two Margherita pizzas. The service was very friendly, and we ate well for a reasonable price. We'll definitely be back.

27/07/2026: Good coffe, fresh pastries. Very reasonable and has a local vibe.

19/06/2026: excellent pastry shop with its own production, always crowded

05/04/2026: Good hospitality, carefully prepared dishes and good raw materials, very good wine selection and very good advice from the host.

31/12/2025: Truly delicious, high-quality food and a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere—the restaurant is tastefully furnished and decorated, and the music was also thoughtful. The prices were absolutely reasonable. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again!

08/08/2026: The staff are amazing and their gelato are the best

31/07/2026: We had a wonderful time on the bar terrace. Excellent drinks, wonderful, high-quality salads, excellent ice cream, and friendly service. We really enjoyed everything.

21/07/2026: Rude service and a really dirty, shabby place. We do not recommend.

15/06/2026: €14 for a fruit aperitif and a spritz, without even a single crisp. I don't recommend it.

30/05/2026: We had two ice creams and we found them very good and the staff was very kind.

08/05/2026: Excellent food and very good service.

04/05/2026: I had Easter lunch with my partner, a disappointment!!! The food was terrible and of poor quality. We had been customers before and had eaten well from the à la carte menu, which is why we came back. But I don't recommend it!!!

12/07/2026: If there was a clear zero, everything would deserve it. Terrible service, in fact it doesn't exist. You go inside and get a drink, obviously you pay first. Tonic water served in a plastic cup, warm with 2 ice cubes and without a lemon slice. Sat at a table, where there was a reservation at 9.30pm, it was 10.40pm the table was still reserved. Maybe the queen was due to arrive. When those with reservations arrived, 1.5 hours late, a bunch of kids, the owner made us get up. Tonic water thrown away, undrinkable, never again.

29/05/2026: A truly wonderful discovery! 🤩 A super friendly atmosphere, a helpful and generous owner. Unbeatable value for money! We highly recommend it!
