I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

02/01/2026: Excellent food, very kind host, we will gladly come back to visit him again

22/08/2025: Everything was excellent in every way. Thank you all.

30/03/2026: A very welcoming restaurant, but above all, the food was excellent...all accompanied by excellent service. I'm happy to have discovered this restaurant in Nervi and will definitely return on my next visit to Liguria! Highly recommended!

27/01/2026: I went to dinner with my partner at this place, which we've known about in Genoa but had never been to. The welcome was very pleasant, and the waiter's kindness and attentiveness were absolutely appreciated. You're immediately served a small plate of excellent focaccia and warm bread, accompanied by an equally excellent prosecco. We continued with two mixed seafood appetizers, both excellent and plentiful, and a fried fish dish and a cuttlefish buridda for main courses. All washed down with a pleasant cold Gewürztraminer. To finish, I decided to try the deconstructed cheesecake, and I didn't regret it. The price was right for the quality of food and service. What can I say, we'll definitely be back.

08/02/2026: Compared to the 5-star review from 8 years ago, which I'm not deleting and will repost below: "The food, location, service, and bill were truly excellent. Highly recommended!" I need to update my experience this way: This restaurant lists the word "pizzeria" on its website, sign, Tripadvisor, and menus, but according to the staff, they haven't made pizza for over three years. They're "tired of saying it" when people book and can't get it removed from the website. Without going into too much detail, I'll start by saying that we were 4 adults with 3 children under 4 (with the attendant needs), so I'll list a few things we found unpleasant: Waiting for them to finish clearing the tables even though we'd booked; Finding out they don't make pizza after we'd just sat down and ordered a pasta dish for one of the hungry girls; After more than an hour and a half of our arrival, we discovered that two main courses hadn't been processed and stopped our order because the children were starting to resist sitting down (despite the fact that the waiters passing by often found them in the way because we were trying to entertain them as best we could along a corridor in an area opposite the bathroom). Wine glasses brought to the table already poured by hand; Chipped beer mug; Cutlery brought directly to the table by hand; Waiter taking orders with his shirt open almost halfway down his chest. Interesting and pleasant food, but an overall unpleasant experience.

14/01/2026: A festive lunch for two, in a quiet and elegant setting on the seafront promenade. A wide selection of traditional Ligurian seafood dishes: we tried the fried stuffed sardines and sautéed mussels as an appetizer, and the tagliolini di nero with raw shrimp, burrata, and chopped pistachios—all truly delicious and made with high-quality ingredients. The desserts were also delicious, especially the sbrisolona with mascarpone cream and fresh red berries. Thanks for the helpful advice to the waiter, who served us with a subtle sense of humor—very friendly.

14/01/2026: My review is only for the restaurant, because we're "locals" and therefore don't care about staying overnight. Last Sunday we ate: I had ravioli with meat sauce (exceptional) and cima (delicious); my wife had tagliatelle (or similar) alla boscaiola (delicious), and chestnut frisceu (exceptional) with ricotta, stracchino (or similar), toma (or similar), all exceptional. With house wine, water, and coffee, €60. And we've been there several times before, always very satisfied.

07/01/2026: My husband and I spent New Year's Eve with a deal that included accommodation. It was an amazing experience... People from another era, like you don't find anymore... Kind and professional. The food was top-notch, and the organization, including music, was also excellent. It was so positive that we came back on Epiphany! Congratulations, Annamaria and Rinaldo!

04/04/2026: A great little, hole in the wall bar. We will definitely be back...

31/03/2026: Good sandwiches at fair prices, always kind staff 👌🏽👍🏽

01/02/2026: We had lunch at this typical restaurant. Excellent value for money. We recommend it.

14/01/2026: Great hospitality The hotel is located just outside the city center, has ample parking, and a highly rated restaurant. Our stay was delightful, with simple but comfortable rooms equipped with every comfort. The price was very reasonable.

17/04/2026: Our best culinary experience during our stay in Arenzano! Everything was perfect. The cuisine was so refined, the staff so friendly and dedicated. Thank you for this wonderful moment. Excellent value for money and a lovely wine list. Absolutely recommended! Best wishes 💫

14/04/2026: I particularly liked this place, a niche!!! Excellent fish-based lunch, having a trattoria myself, I was very impressed by the open kitchen, the girls serving were very friendly, we will return, recommended

23/03/2026: A small, meticulously maintained, and very intimate restaurant: perfect for a couple or small groups of up to 4-5 people. Compared to the average in Lerici, the quality of the fish and fresh pasta here is on a whole new level. Prices are slightly above average, but the quality ingredients and the tranquility are worth every penny. Highly recommended if you're looking for excellence and a quiet atmosphere.

14/03/2026: A pure sensory experience. 🌊 If you love raw fish, this place is a temple to the finest ingredients. • 🦐 Extreme quality: Super fresh fish that tastes of the sea, treated with rare respect. • 🎨 Pairings: Bold and perfectly executed pairings that enhance every flavor without overpowering it. • 🍮 Desserts: Sublime. An unexpected end to a dinner, as carefully prepared as the savory dishes. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, a warm atmosphere that lets you enjoy every glass of wine in total relaxation. A guarantee. ✨🥂

18/03/2026: I found this little spot tucked away in Genoa's historic center on TripAdvisor with five-star reviews. I decided to try it with my friends, and it was a perfect choice. Delicious ceviche norteno with quality fish, top-notch pisco sour, and the owner was incredibly kind and courteous. I'll definitely be back.

15/03/2026: Incredible! A Peruvian chef with perfectly "al dente" pasta, the best I've ever tasted. You can go there without hesitation.

29/03/2026: Historic pastry shop, very beautiful both outside and inside, always full of inviting specialties. I tried their Genovesina and Olandesina and they were both top-notch in taste and quality. The iced coffee was also fabulous. The staff was very friendly and the prices were good.

22/03/2026: I discovered this place while looking for a light palate cleanser after a meal. There were hardly any foreigners, and it was packed with locals. I don't remember the name, but I ordered a baked pastry topped with refreshing cream and blueberries, along with a cup of coffee. It was my first coffee since arriving in Italy, and it was incredibly delicious. It had just the right balance of nuttiness and acidity; despite being an espresso, it felt smoother than bitter. While I was eating the pastry, a staff member smiled and asked, "Isn't it fantastic?" which somehow made the experience even more enjoyable. Even though I don't usually like snacks, I really enjoyed this meal, and the staff were incredibly friendly.

14/02/2026: Everything was excellent! Congratulations!

07/02/2026: Everything was excellent! Perhaps the dishes should be kept warm to maintain the right temperature until the end. Friendly staff.

07/04/2026: Great selection and delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. Plus, very friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended!

05/04/2026: One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten! Thin, with quality ingredients, and incredibly easy to digest. Fast service: the two guys in the dining room were incredibly good and knowledgeable. Coming from the restaurant industry, I can say it's hard to find such attentive and hard-working staff. Well done, congratulations! Everything was fantastic, we'll be happy to return 😃

05/03/2026: Everything perfect, exquisite dinner

01/03/2026: My two friends and I happened upon this restaurant today, and from the moment we called, we had a great impression: the owner struck me with his courtesy. In person, he confirmed everything, demonstrating his ability to make customers feel truly welcome. The food was truly delicious, carefully prepared with quality ingredients, and the value for money was excellent. Special thanks to the owner's mother, whose kindness and hospitality made us feel at home, allowing us to sample her specialty. A super positive experience from every perspective. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

12/04/2026: Always top-notch! Fresh fish and a varied, appealing menu! Better to come, especially on weekends.

20/03/2026: I went there last night for dinner with my husband. We really enjoyed it! In the dining room, Romina is caring, cheerful, attentive, and friendly, but never intrusive; she creates a pleasantly welcoming and familiar atmosphere. In the kitchen, Carlo selects and emphasizes high-quality ingredients, the freshest fish (brought whole to your table before cooking it... top), homemade pasta rolled just before cooking, and local, seasonal vegetables. Having been informed a little in advance of my vegetarian choice, the chef prepared a special artichoke-based menu for me: amazing grilled artichokes and fresh tagliolini with artichokes for €10. My husband chose the tasting menu, which featured a wide variety of dishes, and was also very satisfied. The price is very fair for the quality and attention to detail in the food, the service, and the ambiance.

19/01/2026: The fish was delicious, super fresh!!!

10/01/2026: Delicious fish, and above all, plenty of it! The staff were kind and attentive. We'll definitely be back.
