I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

15/09/2025: Avoid. Three girls at the bar are incredibly slow. Customers wait and then leave. They have a beautiful outdoor area, but no table service. Definitely avoid in the morning.

15/09/2025: Great place with excellent wine choices, nice staff and prime location.

03/10/2025: I didn't eat here, but getting on in age I found myself in the embarrassing situation of a desperate need to use a toilet. The restaurant was virtually empty when I made my request. A young girl turned me down , three times despite my pleas . 🥺 . Luckily I managed to get to the next restaurant. A very bad experience

02/09/2025: We stopped at this establishment as soon as we arrived in Monterosso…the food was decent but nothing exceptional…the prices were above average…

30/08/2025: We looked for a parasol and two loungers and were turned away, even though more than half of the loungers were still free. The reason was probably because we were tourists and didn't speak Italian. The restaurant didn't look particularly inviting either. The tables were dirty and the staff was unfriendly.

29/08/2025: We were staying at the Mare Hotel and were looking for a relatively inexpensive restaurant nearby. The Bagnasciuga bar restaurant is simple, with only three dishes to choose from: two different spaghetti dishes and a chicken schnitzel with fries. The service was friendly and quick. The food was very good.

30/08/2025: We were craving farinata and decided to go in. The owner was very kind and cooked it freshly. We also had pizza and loved both! The prices were definitely reasonable! Thank you!

19/08/2025: The place is small and without air conditioning. We walked in and the first thing we noticed was the heat. We then went back twice to get pizzas and the employees were rude and uninterested. I can't complain about the food, considering a sandwich is bigger than my face. 😂 But it's not a great experience.

18/08/2025: The staff only speaks Italian, there is no translation of the menu cards into another language. The ordered dish was served without rice, although it was indicated when ordering.

17/08/2025: Nice restaurant with a wide selection of Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisine. The Thai noodles, sushi, and Chinese dishes are excellent; the spring rolls and steamed dumplings aren't as good, but two dishes out of everything I ate isn't average... The portions aren't overly generous, but they're perfect for an all-you-can-eat experience. Good value for money. The staff is friendly, courteous, and very attentive to customer needs. I'll definitely be back.

17/09/2025: The ice cream is okay, but the prices are steep. A classic tourist trap right on the harbor. So, not surprising. The restrooms aren't great either.

07/09/2025: A very nice place. The staff is rather uninterested.

10/08/2025: A beautiful place, but unfortunately, given the "standing" it aims to maintain, it falls short in some respects, specifically in the following areas: - Tables in the gazebos with rust spots - Side curtains on the gazebo partially missing. - Dirty/stained sun lounger mattress (we asked for it to be replaced, and it was promptly replaced with apologies for the inconvenience). - Bathroom hygiene needs updating (lack of toilet paper in the women's bathroom and cleanliness needs improving). In my opinion, the price paid doesn't match what's offered. Considering that the price for 5 hours (from 2 pm to 7 pm) is €137, I would have expected greater quality and attention to service. It wouldn't take much, especially considering the number of gazebos (28), to make this beach truly the "gem" and most exclusive beach in Santa Margherita, as advertised. I'd also like to point out that we purchased a thermal water bottle. It's very nice looking, with the bathroom logo on it, but it doesn't keep the water cold at all, even though it was guaranteed to work properly at the time of purchase. (Please avoid making any comments without first having verified your claims, to avoid disappointment.) Regarding the restaurant, since we didn't eat there, I can't express any opinion, but having read the dishes offered and given the location, I feel compelled to give a positive assessment. Another positive note was the receptionist, who demonstrated courtesy and professionalism. P.S.: I've changed my rating from 3 to 1 star because I'd like to point out that after just 7 days, the thermal water bottle has rust spots on both the cap and the inside (as shown in the photo). This is absurd; it's unsafe to use, as you risk drinking rust. Any feedback is appreciated.

01/08/2025: This year, like last year, we chose this beach resort for its proximity to home and the gazebos, but we discovered at the start of the season that the management had changed. We immediately had problems with bookings: we therefore decided to start with a week, from Monday, June 30th to Sunday, and this already created problems because the weekly stay, for which we had been asked to pay €1,250 in advance, could not be made due to the different rates between the months of June and July. Therefore, we immediately paid €1,400 for the Monday of June and the week from Tuesday to the following Monday (July). Unfortunately, due to force majeure (bad weather), we lost three days of the booked period, so my husband asked the manager if we could make up the days on other days. He was told that we could only make up two, and although we didn't fully agree, we accepted (at €200 per day). When we rebooked for the two-day make-up session, we were told we were only booking one day, not two. At that point, we replied that we wouldn't be willing to negotiate like in a Marrakech souk, and that in a €200-a-day establishment, customers deserve a service that's proportionate and worthy of the price they pay. Bottom line: three paid days wasted and service subpar due to incompetence and a lack of professionalism, but above all, lost customers.

11/07/2025: Maten var medioker, service från den unga tjejen var urusel, snorkig/ingen servicekänsla behöver gå en utbildning i yrket.Dåligt bemötande för alla-utom om du är italienare, då fjäskar personalen.

23/06/2025: Visitamos la pizzería Vesuvio Ristorante en Rapallo como parte de una excursión en crucero, justo en el paseo marítimo, por lo que la ubicación es ideal para una escapada panorámica. Nos ofrecieron aperitivos gratuitos y una parada de baño aquí durante el recorrido. La pastelería era fresca y sabrosa, los cacahuetes eran sorprendentemente buenos, y el jugo golpeó el lugar en un día cálido. Si bien no pedimos una comida completa, el servicio fue amable y rápido. Consejo: Si vas a caminar por el paseo marítimo o en una parada de crucero como nosotros, es un pequeño lugar genial para refrescarte y disfrutar de la vista. ¡Consideraría volver a probar su pizza!

09/08/2025: Terrible quality, terrible service. If you're Italian, avoid!

23/07/2025: Horrible place. We ordered mussel soup — they brought us something that looked like slop on a plate: shrimp full of sand, mussels that smelled rotten. As I expected, I got food poisoning even though I only ate a few. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone! _________________ Locale orribile. Abbiamo ordered a zuppa di cozze — I hanno portato a specialty of schifezza nel piatto: gamberi pieni di sabbia, cozze che puzzavano di marcio. Come immaginavo, mi sono intossicata anche se ne ho mangiate solo un paio. Non lo consiglio a nessuno!

03/10/2025: Signora Gianna cooks fabulously. We arrived late but were greeted like royalty. The menu is all homemade, all local, by the lovely Gianna (90 years old!!). US Cigolese will definitely be back: if you're passing through, come here. Even if you're not passing through. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back; the specialties she cooks are truly inviting.

21/09/2025: The two ladies who were selling were very impolite. The food was not fresh

21/09/2025: Decent food, impolite staff (we asked if we could use the bathroom, they told us that we can do that in 2 minutes, we ate at them and then they told us we can’t use the bathroom).

16/08/2025: One of the best gastronomic experiences in Italy. A magnificent dinner paired with local produce and six different wines, all of them local and of the Vermentino variety.

28/07/2025: The restaurant faces a busy road and parking isn't easy. The atmosphere is rustic but welcoming, the food is excellent, and they have a great wine selection. I recommend it for an aperitif with friends or something casual.

04/08/2025: Trusted bakery for years, the best in town

06/07/2025: Very rude manager to an elderly lady who simply asked to replace a piece of sardenara with edges with one without edges from a new pan even though she had already paid for it he refused to replace it saying that the rule of his warehouse rather than shop requires to finish the old pan first before starting the new one now so you do not satisfy the wish of a poor elderly lady for this stupidity of yours and not only was she made fun of by saying that she had no more sardenara and as soon as the lady left he ran to the back of his phantom warehouse to get the new pan of sardenara and when she returned to ask to buy another piece he, the great rude and great rude person that he is, said I don't serve you in this shop anymore go away. Now these are the shopkeepers we should help in times of crisis but if he closed the business and went to work as a dishwasher he would be doing a huge favor 🙏 to the community. Aside from the fact that by law no shopkeeper can refuse to serve paying customers, I'm limiting myself to this review to avoid reporting what happened.
