I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

12/10/2025: At this place, you'll find only the best, both sweet and savory. The coffee, croissants, sandwiches, pizzas, first courses, second courses, and desserts are excellent—in short, everything I've tasted has been top-notch. The aperitif is remarkable for its quality/price ratio, and the Peruzzi coffee is a must-try. Enjoying the delicacies in the dining room with large windows overlooking the sea or, in warm weather, on the terrace makes it even more unforgettable. The staff is always extremely kind, professional, and friendly. Four years later, I stand by my review, even though, unfortunately, prices have increased significantly.

12/10/2025: The food is excellent, but what really makes this place special is the view, especially the sea-view terrace! Parking is difficult, but that's nothing new in Liguria.

23/10/2025: Three of us ate there for lunch last Sunday. I congratulate the restaurant manager and his son, they are wonderful people. Beyond the delicious food and the reasonable price, we loved the honesty and genuineness of the staff. They're good people. And they're big Genoa fans!

16/10/2025: Went for lunch today with a colleague and Enrico's former classmate. Everything was delicious, including the anchovy and eggplant meatballs. We've been there before, always with excellent dishes. Definitely recommend.

26/09/2025: We went to the Portichetto for lunch on a Sunday. Without a reservation, they seated us right away (we were with our dog). The staff were very kind and quick to bring our orders. Highly recommended.

26/09/2025: Very quiet place, the place isn't very big, so I recommend making a reservation. The food is really good! Highly recommended.

04/10/2025: We had amberjack, octopus, and breaded acciughe with Vermentino. Everything was excellent. At my request, they set up an extra table, which we loved. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic. We'll be back. We enjoy walking here from Alassio and are happy to now have a great place for a delicious stop whenever we're there. Thank you very much.

29/09/2025: I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. Located next to the Saracen tower, it offers a breathtaking view of the sea. While dining on the terrace, you have the beach and fishing boats in front of you, and paired with this restaurant's FANTASTIC food, it's a fantastic combination. The amberjack with trumpet fish, mouse, and Taggiasca olives is FABULOUS! Flavorful mussels in tomato sauce, and the octopus melts in your mouth! I think it's in the top 3 of the best restaurants in Laigueglia! Definitely worth returning to!

20/09/2025: A charming residence! The residence isn't huge, but it's very well-maintained, clean, and quiet. We stayed in a split-level studio apartment, with the bedroom on the mezzanine floor. I was worried the ceilings might be low, but instead, the entire apartment is airy and well-furnished. Our bedroom window overlooked the pool, but we also had a view of the sea. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful. They even included a beach umbrella in the price. Pool umbrellas and loungers are always included. The restaurant is also excellent, offering pizza, Ligurian specialties (the fried anchovies are excellent), and even Thai cuisine. Highly recommended for those seeking tranquility and relaxation.

10/08/2025: Everything was perfect. Very satisfied. Thank you!!! A huge thank you to Sandro and Marco, the owners. They are wonderful people and will do everything they can to ensure you have the best vacation of your life! Thank you!

22/10/2025: A beautiful location with a sea view. A wide selection of delicious and excellent dishes, including the catch of the day. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would gladly return.

18/10/2025: We wanted an aperitivo. They kindly told us to choose our drinks and then offered San Carlo fries or a "fritturina." A few calamari and fried vegetables cost €26, bringing the total to €42 with a Ceres and an alcoholic drink. It was good, but it would have been better to let them know the price in advance, and anyway, it can't be that expensive.

09/09/2025: The staff were very friendly and gave us a table on the promenade. My wife's meal was very good; I ordered a vegetarian hamburger with French fries. The fries were good, and they also provided me with plenty of mayonnaise and ketchup. Only the burger was a bit poorly done—a patty in bread—that was it. I discussed it with a nice lady, and she responded positively to my feedback. So if you want more in the veggie burger, just tell the waitress... I thought it was good that my criticism was handled very professionally.

07/09/2025: I stopped for an aperitivo with my partner and baby (with a stroller, so everyone can use it). The staff was very friendly and helpful. There's seating both inside and on the waterfront. Very nice, recommended.

30/09/2025: A good restaurant suitable for quick lunches for workers, with a set menu at fixed prices...

22/09/2025: I liked the welcome from the owner who was very jovial and expansive, even if there won't be an opportunity to drink a GUINNESS together I will return to taste the dishes offered

19/10/2025: Reservation: We called three times without receiving an answer. Luckily, they called us back and offered us dinner at either Seating 1 (7:30 PM) or Seating 2 (9:00 PM). We chose Seating 1 at 7:00 PM, and over the phone, we were told several times, rather annoyingly, "Please note, the table must be vacated at 9:00 PM sharp," and "Please inform your guests that the table must be vacated at 9:00 PM." Let's just say we didn't get off to the best start when making the reservation. Welcome: We arrived at 7:20 PM. The staff was outside smoking, and they didn't let us in until 7:30 PM sharp. That's no big deal. In the meantime, we read the menu and made up our minds about what to order. Ordering: The girl who came to take our order was very friendly and explained the various options. Service: The guy with the ponytail who brought the hot stone to cook the meat was quite rude: as soon as he arrived, he handed over the stone and warned us not to put oil on it due to the risk of flames/smoke, and so far so good. When I pointed out that the stone was quite black on the surface (in a completely calm and friendly manner), he immediately got annoyed, took the stone back, and went back to the kitchen, cursing things like "let's start the evening off right!" In amazement, we awaited his return with a new stone, and in a snobbish manner, he said, "Is this okay?!" I didn't think the guy's attitude was very nice; he could have handled his frustration differently. The other waitresses, however, were kind. Food: 5 people, we ordered: - Testaroli with oil and cheese - Hunter's menu - Panigacci with prosciutto, stracchino cheese, and vegetables - Baked fish with vegetables - Paccheri with fish sauce - Water Personally, I found the baked fish with vegetables good, perhaps a little too greasy, but overall okay. The panigacci were average, and the prosciutto was good. I can't comment on the other dishes because I didn't try them, but I think the taste of the food was negatively impacted by the service, as the atmosphere at the table was ruined by the waiter's rude attitude. Bill: The cashier was very kind, and we spent about €100, which I think was more or less fair for what we ate. Conclusion: The place has potential, but I don't think we'll return, considering the poor service experience and the rude way we were treated when booking. Sorry, but we're a no-go!

15/10/2025: A very welcoming restaurant in the center of Sarzana. The menu features fish and meat, and the first courses are very good; I struggle to pass up anything. The service is friendly and efficient, and the wait for your food is short. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

09/11/2025: Service was a bit slow because it was quite busy. It's a very popular place, even though you wouldn't know it from the location. But it's still a beautiful, well-kept place, and everything is delicious!

30/10/2025: Thanks to the lunch provided, we were able to sample this restaurant's culinary offerings. Refined dishes with generous portions, accompanied by excellent focaccia. Unfortunately, the exterior doesn't make the best first impression, but the interior is well-maintained and tasteful.

07/09/2025: The location and service were lovely, the dishes superb...and beautifully presented. Good value for money.

03/09/2025: Before dinner, we asked if we could have a drink on the terrace outside and were greeted by a very kind young man who served us. Then, once we were at the table, a friendly and attentive waitress came over and explained the dishes we weren't familiar with. There were just a few items, both typical and not, but they were truly GOOD. I had the Cappon Magro, a typical Ligurian dish, as an appetizer, and it was divine. Others had the shrimp tartar, which was incredibly delicate, and my husband had the mouth-watering stew. I then had a fried dish, which was wonderfully rich. We all had different dishes, and they all looked and smelled fantastic. The only tiny flaw—if I really had to find a flaw—was finding a few thorns in the appetizer, but that's easily fixable. Otherwise, I would recommend it 100%. Even though I don't know much about the wine selection, I have to say it's remarkable, and the desserts are a worthy conclusion. I'll definitely return.

03/10/2025: Unfortunately, this time, expectations weren't as high as they had been before. The octopus was tough and rubbery, the fried food was cold, and the batter wasn't properly prepared. Priority was given to table service by acquaintances/friends. This isn't the way to go.

30/09/2025: An experience worth trying. Unique, quality food, impeccable service. Excellent!!

07/11/2025: An old-fashioned tavern that's up to date with our times. Pleasant. Good and welcoming. 😋

04/11/2025: Great experience! They don't have appetizers, just first and second courses. The portions are so generous that the waiters themselves recommend sharing the dishes. The quality of the food is truly top-notch! The wine list is also good. Expect to leave feeling full for around €35 ​​per person. Special mention for the friendliness of the staff. We'll definitely be back.

04/10/2025: Innovative concept, very good food, the pizzas are fabulous, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere is jaw-dropping... surprising. They play pleasant background music.

29/09/2025: Not your typical pizza; I had the Purple Rain. Dishes named after musicians, the pizzas were 33 RPM (large) and 45 RPM (small). The large wasn't really large, but it was generously topped. The atmosphere was cool, with its own unique touch, not your run-of-the-mill bar/pizzeria. No stone oven/wood-fired oven, the pizza was good, but not crispy.

11/08/2025: Vado sovente in questo ristorante, personale e titolare gentilissimi, ottimo cibo, risotti squisiti. Quanto prima approfondiremo la conoscenza del menù
