I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

02/09/2025: Exceptional ice cream shop...exaggerated...if it were on the Riviera?? All the ice cream shops in the area would close 🍀champions of Italy.... ♥️💯

18/08/2025: Top ice cream and very kind, highly recommended!

08/01/2026: This restaurant is located in San Rocco di Camogli, right at the start of the trail to Punta Chiappa/San Fruttuoso. The restaurant has a veranda with a beautiful view (unfortunately unheated) and an indoor area. But the real highlight is the homemade food, including the pasta and sauces, which are simply excellent! The Pansoti are among the best I've ever eaten. The quality/price ratio is more than fair!

11/10/2025: Unfortunately, despite the delicious food, I strongly advise against this place. The reason is the very unpleasant owner. From the moment we entered the restaurant, her expression said it all. She gave the impression that we were bothering her. She wouldn't let us sit at a table with a view because, as she stated, it only seats four, not two. Even though we only ordered tiramisu and coffee, they charged us €4 per person. The tiramisu, while very tasty, was tiny pieces, like half a normal portion. Interestingly, the owner was very nice towards the other Italian diners. We felt very uncomfortable there, and I absolutely don't recommend this place.

10/03/2026: This restaurant is completely uninteresting. We had a long wait before our order was even taken. We were served a salad without being charged, and it cost €5 for two. To our surprise, they didn't offer any pizza at lunchtime. The escalope costs €12 each, and the side dish is extra: €5 for frozen fries 😅 Avoid this place.

07/01/2026: Never go to this place! Tourists, or even French people, aren't welcome. We wanted to avoid touristy restaurants and had chosen a typical, family-run one. What a disappointment!

27/12/2025: Excellent dining experience. The servers were attentive and always smiling! The view must be magnificent at sunset or during the day, with the sea right in front of the bay windows.

16/09/2025: Amazing restaurant in a beautiful location, with super friendly staff and an innovative kitchen. The view is perfect which is why I don’t understand why it strictly (!) only opens at 19:30 — any decent entrepreneur would sell an aperitif from 6pm onwards on the beautiful balcony outside for people to enjoy the sunset (which otherwise will have happened already when you start your meal). There were tiny issues with the service (for instance they brought a beef butter to a completely vegetarian table, only to take it away and not replacing it with something vegetarian instead, and a couple next to us was waiting for having their wine with their food) but all in all the service was impeccable otherwise and I would have loved to give a tip unless these sneaky corporate people in the finance department wouldn’t have already built that tip into my bill, at which time and out of principle I crossed it out! I would have voluntarily given more than the „suggested tip“ if you hadn’t kinda forced my hands on it. I guess few people realize it so mathematically they end up with more, but not in style! Apropos style: the worst part of this restaurant is the music. The manager swore he couldn’t change the music or turn it down. Guys. We are in the 21st century. Forcing the same tasteless and unnecessary loud music on all people who have a very different and highly individualized dining experiences is just unprofessional and quite frankly costs you a star. If the CEO of the hotel can’t fix that, I‘m sorry for him (or her) as this is a matter of willingness only, everything else is an excuse.

27/01/2026: Excellent pizzas and always fast and courteous delivery service. Recommended!

30/10/2025: Excellent "gang" of top pizza makers.....delicious pizzas and out-of-this-world burgers

05/10/2025: Top-quality food and creative cuisine. Everything was excellent, highly recommended!

27/08/2025: I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was deeply impressed. Each dish told a story of freshness, care, and passion for cooking. The ingredients were top-quality, enhanced by surprising and never boring combinations. The undisputed star of the evening was the black truffle, masterfully used in several courses. The balance of flavors was perfect: the truffle did not overpower, but elegantly enhanced each dish. Highly recommended for those seeking authentic, creative cuisine deeply rooted in the local area. I will definitely return.

09/03/2026: On Friday, March 6th, we had an experience that went beyond a simple dinner. At SantaMonica, conviviality was the true protagonist: a single large table, people meeting for the first time, and that magic that only happens when sharing good food and good wine. 🍷🍽️ It was an unstoppable sensory journey. An ascent of flavors, with delicious dishes and perfect pairings, where each course surpassed the previous, accompanied by simply superb glasses of wine. A heartfelt thank you to all the participants for their wonderful energy, but special thanks go to those who made it all possible: Thanks to Tenuta Borri for their extreme kindness and technical mastery in revealing the soul of their wines. 🍇 Thanks to the Chef for the creativity and care put into every single dish. 🧑🏼‍🍳 And an infinite thank you to Monica, Andrea, and the entire wonderful team at Santamonica. You've created something new, a pleasant atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression and precious memories in each of us. ❤️ Evenings like this remind us that food is the most beautiful bridge between people. 🥂✨

07/03/2026: We chose Santamonica to celebrate our wedding, a very small and intimate ceremony, and we couldn't have made a better choice! It's a truly extraordinary restaurant: exquisite, carefully crafted, and surprising dishes, accompanied by impeccable service and a warm, professional welcome. Every detail was carefully considered, and everything far exceeded our expectations. From the very first moment, we knew we were in exceptional hands. Thank you for making this day so special and unforgettable for us. We recommend Santamonica without hesitation to anyone looking for a top-notch gastronomic experience.

29/09/2025: If you need a drink that's out of the ordinary, come here. Unprecedented combinations, a bartender who knows his stuff, and the quality of the "classics" is commendable. Very friendly: when a nearly full glass spilled, they immediately offered to refill it for free.

29/09/2025: "Variegated" spritzes: lavender, pink grapefruit, etc.

27/07/2025: Federica and Sergio are superb professionals. The location is surrounded by lush nature, and the food is excellent and top-quality. A journey through authentic Ligurian flavors with a touch of Crema. Everything is prepared with organic ingredients. Highly recommended.

09/07/2025: Very good experience ! Great hosts, excellent food and the place is calm and charming.

16/02/2026: We ordered an appetizer to share, a first course each, and the crispy octopus as a second course to share. Everything was delicious, and the presentation was excellent. We also really enjoyed the entrée, the rosemary breadsticks, and the homemade chiacchiere, which were part of the experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a special lunch.

11/10/2025: Excellent food in outstanding atmosphere. The view is stunning.

15/03/2026: The staff were not at all friendly, we had to compromise on every dish we chose (this one isn't available, you have to order two of the same main courses, the Marsala is sold out). GENOA OFFERS BETTER PLACES

22/02/2026: A restaurant in the alleys of Genoa. We booked here for a get-together with old friends. The location is definitely dated and a bit dark, and initially I wasn't impressed, but it was packed, so I thought maybe I'd change my mind. The wait was a bit long. Not everyone could choose what we wanted because the chef was alone, so he could only prepare appetizers, then first courses, and finally second courses. My friend, who only ordered one second course, waited for everyone to eat their appetizers and first courses, watching us, and then ate herself. I found this absolutely inconceivable. Now, let's move on to the positives: the lady who served us was very friendly and pleasant, and we forgave her for every delay and shortcoming. All the dishes were good, except for my shellfish, which was overcooked and dry inside (probably reheated). The only downside was that I ordered spaghetti with clams, but they weren't there, and they told me they could only make it with clams (which have a very different price, but I paid the same as clams). I don't think they wouldn't have increased the price of the dish if I'd asked for white truffle instead of black truffle, or fillet instead of steak, but vice versa. That said, the dish was really good, and we didn't complain about it this time either. The quality outweighed the "distraction." Price: Like many places in Genoa, the prices are a bit high. There are some things that could be improved; the dishes are good, the ingredients are good, and it was cooked well. Compliments to the chef.

08/01/2026: Three pizzas ordered at 8:50 PM, with full service, arrived within an hour. The order taker was very kind and friendly, while the delivery driver was reckless, with a 2°C temperature, which felt like 0°C. Honest, unpretentious pizza, easily eaten.

28/10/2025: How good guys!!! As a Ligurian, finally a place where you can come to eat and they don't growl!!! Passed!

26/02/2026: The Centro Luna in Sarzana is an excellent local shopping destination, renowned for its impeccable cleanliness and wide variety of stores. The hypermarket is well-stocked, has ample parking, and has a welcoming atmosphere, making it perfect for quick errands or a relaxing afternoon.

09/02/2026: Good ice cream parlor in the lobby

13/11/2025: Beautiful place by the sea Excellent food, attentive service, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

09/10/2025: Nice discovery, practically on the sea 🤭😚🐱when we went there it was towards sunset, beautiful atmosphere, made even more pleasant by the DJ who played appropriate music, quick service, good kind and friendly waitress😚 affordable prices👍👍
