I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

22/02/2026: Delicious food and nice views. We enjoyed this stop during our hike.

23/10/2025: Well done, despite the constant arrival of hordes of tourists, they try to please every customer. Prices are high, but fair given the local supply logistics.

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!

20/02/2026: Although the food is reasonably good, albeit with a very repetitive menu, I don't recommend it due to the terrible service. I think it's the only place in Sarzana where, if you make a reservation, they assign you the worst seats. The waitress who welcomed us and who currently works the dining room is completely lacking in empathy, almost annoyed, and unreasonably inclined to underwhelm customers. We've been frequenting this restaurant occasionally for a while, and the staff used to be much friendlier. The service is truly embarrassing. After mentioning the service issues, I'll list a few technical flaws: incorrect orders sent back, cutlery not changed between meals, and the waitress moving it from the plate to the tablecloth, dirtying the surface. Soapstones cracked from cooking raw meat (they were intact before). I advise the owner to review the staff, perhaps supporting them with psychotherapy. Personally, I prefer to spend my money in more worthy places. This is not the case here. P.S. I see from the reviews that this is a fairly common negative opinion. It's easy to lose customers.

06/02/2026: Excellent quality-price ratio, I will return.

07/03/2026: Overall, it was pleasant, but given the very high prices, some dishes could be executed with greater precision. In each of my or my companions' dishes, there was something missing or excessive. I suggest greater attention or a recalculation of the prices. I must say the location is excellent.

22/02/2026: A delightful restaurant in the historic center, near the Piazza dei Palazzo dei Doria. As the name suggests, it's like a hidden "den" with a welcoming atmosphere. The entire staff is extremely kind and friendly. Standing ovation for the mandilli al pesto, the gnocchetti, and the Fassona beef tartare. Highly recommended! PS: Given the layout of the restaurant, it can get very hot; dress in layers.

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.

21/02/2026: Rustic but charming place, adequate service. The food, however, was overall subpar; I had a starter of 'Lugure' meat and a fish carpaccio; the latter was decent, but the first course was stale and greasy, not fresh, and heavy with the focaccia bread; the whole thing proved indigestible. The fish first courses were adequate, but there are better; the meat second course was okay. Receipt not received.

11/01/2026: Excellent traditional Ligurian restaurant. The owner, Cinzia, is very friendly. The linguine with pesto and fritto misto are exceptional.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

01/03/2026: Yesterday at lunch, we politely asked if they had a table for three. We were invited to sit inside, and they very calmly took our order. After 40 minutes, we asked the waiter present for information about our dishes, but he barely responded, or rather, I quote, "What do I know?" and didn't ask the kitchen for information. After another 10 minutes, 50 in total, we asked a lady who kindly responded and this time informed the kitchen, amidst the din coming from the fully open and visible kitchen, about our order. We were informed that our order had never been sent to the kitchen, with the mistake being explained by the presence of Rai staff. I should point out that there were about 10 people in total besides us, all of whom had already been served. The lady apologized and offered a solution, which we didn't accept due to imminent commitments. The waiter present (who took our order) didn't even look at us and, with a satisfied expression, continued doing his job. According to the lady I quoted, "Thank goodness you asked," I understand that no one would have given us any news, even though the place was almost empty. Treated by the gentleman present as if we were unworthy of being served by him, I thank you for the public humiliation, enjoy your gold tokens xD.

25/02/2026: Questionable quality/price ratio
