I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

02/11/2025: The waitress was extremely unfriendly, and several dishes listed on the menu and chalkboard were no longer available... even though it was only 8:30 pm! The food served was mediocre. Avoid this restaurant!

26/10/2025: My dad got a beer here while I did a tasting flight of 5 wines (white/red/dessert). We are from Sonoma County, so the wines were sub-par. They did give healthy pours for the tasting which was nice. The dessert wine was delicious and we got two bottles to take home. This is their most expensive wine, as I imagine that the majority of what they sell. We got another wine to take back to our AirBnB and ended up pouring it down the drain. The beer my dad drank was okay. The charcuterie and cheese was delicious. We would recommend dining here for their charcuterie and sipping on their dessert wine. We were sat down rather quickly but the service was slow. The waitress was very friendly, but took a long time to help us (as she was very busy). It looked like a family-run business. There was one woman at the check out register sitting there chatting it up with a customer sitting nearby, another man in the back who eventually helped us at the register (also very nice), and the poor waitress doing everything imaginable. For the price per person I am choosing a more expensive option, as the dessert wine we chose was 75€ apiece. The charcuterie was reasonably priced.

10/11/2025: Great service, the older lady was very nice and smelled lovely :-) We had mussels and pizzas, all very good! Only the grappa at €6 seemed expensive for Italy...

27/10/2025: We went to eat at Da Mimmo restaurant in Pietra Ligure and it was truly a fantastic experience! We're Belgian, and the waiters were very kind. They spoke to us in English and even gave us a menu in French, which was greatly appreciated. The pizzas and pastas were delicious, typically Italian 🍕🍝 The staff and owners were very friendly and cheerful, and the atmosphere was authentic and welcoming. A truly excellent restaurant, we recommend it without hesitation! 🇮🇹✨

21/10/2025: In the heart of Alassio, amidst the scent of the sea and the warm light of the Riviera, Sail Inn stands out as one of Liguria's most authentic and refined gastronomic experiences. It's more than just a restaurant: it's a reference point for those seeking cuisine that combines tradition, elegance, and authentic flavors. At the helm is Giampiero Colli, chef and owner, a charismatic and passionate figure who has given the restaurant an unmistakable touch. His cuisine speaks of the sea, the seasons, and raw ingredients: the freshest fish, local ingredients, and a sensitivity that transforms each dish into a story... a journey. Each course is a balance between simplicity and technique, between tradition and innovation. From raw to cooked, nothing is left to chance: every detail reflects the experience and dedication of a chef who lives his craft with genuine passion. The service is attentive and never intrusive, the atmosphere elegant and relaxed, perfect for those who want to savor the true essence of the Mediterranean. Sail Inn is much more than a restaurant: it's a journey through the flavors of Alassio, expertly guided by a man who has made quality and hospitality a true art form... Thank you, Chef Giampiero Mattia

15/10/2025: Greed at the expense of service quality The restaurant is very famous, pseudo-elegant, and expensive, but people likely continue to frequent it for some reason related to the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the owner's desire to never lose a single customer and to always keep tables full with at least two seats per evening completely negates any positive aspects of the culinary quality, replacing them with total disorganization and a lack of respect for the customers. We had a reservation for four people at 9:30 PM and arrived promptly. When we arrived, the waiter asked us to be patient for about five minutes because they were "slightly struggling." We waited 15 minutes and noticed at least a dozen groups in the alley outside who, like us, had reservations but were still waiting for their tables. When we asked the waiter again how much longer we would have to stand, he replied, visibly out of breath, that it would be about another 15 minutes. This meant we'd start eating at 10:00 PM. We would have preferred to leave, but we decided to wait. Very calmly, every now and then someone from the small groups waiting managed to sit down. After the customary 15 minutes, it was 10:00 PM: none of us were still seated. Inside the restaurant, a few people were eating while 70% of the customers were waiting to be served. We waited another 20 minutes—arriving at 10:20 PM—without anyone leaving their tables. Many customers continued to wait for their dishes. At that point, we decided to leave at 10:30 PM, after an hour of pointless waiting. If a restaurant that claims to be elegant and high-end doesn't have the courage to inform customers that they must vacate their tables by a set time—which is in any case unbecoming of the style of a place of this kind—then it shouldn't accept any more reservations. To the owner, I say: since you're not worried about the risk of empty tables due to selfishness and greed, simply not accepting any more reservations would do your reputation much more credit. I'll conclude by reminding you that I used to frequent this restaurant about thirty years ago, but I stopped going because there were already unpleasant service issues back then that kept me away from there ever since.

06/09/2025: Excellent beach resort, welcoming and kind staff, extraordinary food, recommended to everyone.

01/09/2025: We wanted an aperitivo: two spritzes, and the bartender recommended a fritturina (a suggestion because the aperitivo pizza was sold out, around 8:10 PM). It was €10 a glass, and €20 for the fritturina! If you suggest something other than what's normally served with an aperitivo, I expect it to be included in the price of the aperitivo. Am I wrong?

08/11/2025: We ate tasty food at a good price.

04/11/2025: What a terrible experience! We were obviously tourists, they didn't give us Meya, and in the end, we were charged 70 euros for two children's pastas and a plate of fish, even though locals pay 10 euros per adult. A rip-off! The service was terrible. Such a low-down way to rip off tourists. Be careful. The people working there are completely unscrupulous.

02/11/2025: Luckily, we had a jazz show coming up. We ordered a glass of wine and draft beer (they no longer had it), so we ordered a "craft" beer (which costs more). They brought us a panache and a Mongozo... (There were only 4 tables). And they took the order first from a couple who arrived later. We had the panache exchanged for the glass of wine. But the Mongozo isn't craft, the glass for both was VERY dirty, and the fries that arrived 10 minutes later were nasty. Welcoming on Halloween.

07/10/2025: I love you, Amelka💙❤💚 Very nice service, and despite a mistake with the order, everything was fine, really nice place.

29/11/2025: We've been coming for many months now, and it's always a pleasure, from the warm welcome to the delicious food and the calm, pleasant setting. We've never been disappointed. I highly recommend it in any season.

29/11/2025: Best restaurant here, great welcome, delicious food. The service is perfect and the staff are lovely, thank you!

13/09/2025: Excellent place if you’re looking for peace and a break from the city. Delicious breakfast (included) and dinner (€30 per person) made from local products. Breakfast and dinner are available only for guests. They also have a ropes park and offer lunch for non-guests.

09/09/2025: Simply: it felt like home! ❤️ We spent days of pure relaxation and felt pampered and welcome. We ate, drank, and slept divinely! Bob is a loyal four-legged friend who quickly makes friends with everyone. Thanks to Nereo, Lucia, and their children. We were lucky to discover the Giandriale farmhouse! ❤️

27/10/2025: One of the most enchanting places in the world

11/10/2025: The paccheri were delicious, as was the Ligurian appetizer... impeccable service, and the location deserved an A+!! A perfect lunch!

08/11/2025: Went several times always in company good pizza cheerful atmosphere the music always accompanies you a positive and fun evening

28/10/2025: Fast service and delicious food, I absolutely recommend it

19/10/2025: Google says the restaurant is open, but in reality it's closed. The owner doesn't update its hours. Tourists traveling this route will find the doors locked. It's not worth going.

10/10/2025: We ate very well, as always, generous and excellent portions... the best taglioni with mushrooms I have ever eaten... very kind

28/09/2025: Today we stopped by for a quick coffee, but I'll definitely be back to try their leavened breakfast pastries; they looked really well-made!

21/09/2025: Last night in Imperia, during dinner at Altamarea, I had the pleasure of discovering the desserts from Simone and Alessia's La Pasticceria che sognavo. It was a wonderful surprise that won over everyone in the room: carefully crafted, delicious desserts, and made with great passion. At the end of the evening, Simone delighted the dining room with a round of freshly made hazelnut cream cannoli... truly the icing on the cake! 👏🏼 Congratulations on the quality and attention to detail: everything was perfect.

04/11/2025: Very kind staff and delicious focaccia!

03/11/2025: Pizza with anchovies and Taggiasca olives served nice and hot and crunchy, amazing!!!

02/10/2025: Nice selection of seafood, great people working there, very friendly and will answer you're questions. I mainly come here for the live maine lobster in a water tank and tuna saku blocks. They have quality oysters and a nice freezer section filled with stuff u can't normally find. I go out of my way to go here 1.30 hour drive, worth it every time.

15/09/2025: We just discovered this place in Google maps and decided to check it out. They have a great selection of seafood and great prices. They are tucked back from the road and not noticeable (I took a pic of the entrance). Very clean inside too! People there are very knowledgeable and kind. We will definitely be back.

01/12/2025: An excellent experience, I now go there once a week... it's become a ritual... p.s. I live beyond Monaco in France, so to get there it takes at least an hour via the seafront... and it's WORTH IT. P.s. not even 20 euros for a large beer, a sandwich filled with a cone from the photo and a dessert to finish... top. See you soon, actually in 10 minutes and I'll be there... 😁💯❌️💯🥂

20/11/2025: Beautiful location in front of the sea, kind and professional staff, exquisite croissants and more than fair prices.
