I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

26/07/2026: On our way to France, we decided to stop in Celle Ligure and found La Meta, a very cozy and intimate restaurant that offered us a special experience. The food and service were top-notch; we'll be back just to repeat this magical tasting experience. And I might add: far from Michelin-starred, for me it was a 4-star tasting experience.

09/06/2026: I frequent the "Meta" restaurant in Celle a couple of times a year, and each time it proves to be a wonderful experience. The restaurant is small, but it's a true culinary gem. The menu is always interesting, thanks to dishes that change frequently and are presented with great care. The Meta offers three tasting menus in addition to the à la carte selection. You can also opt for the classic menus, both meat and seafood, which are priced at €58 and offer truly excellent value. For those seeking an even more substantial experience, there's the "Intrecci" menu, which offers a whopping 9 dishes for €110. At first glance, the portions may seem small, but by the end of the meal, you'll be perfectly full, fully satisfied, and never feeling heavy. Adding a splendid touch to all this is the kindness of the waiter, always welcoming and professional. Well done!

09/08/2026: The owner's wine recommendations were good, and the food was average to good. Service was good, but some of the younger staff still need to learn empathy.

28/07/2026: Go away from the main restaurants in the beginning of Noli and look for this small gem. The food is great and good choices for children.

05/08/2026: Clean and tidy place. Friendly and helpful staff. Well-distributed area.

03/08/2026: Even though I don't frequent fast food chains much, I consider King to be far superior to Mac's in terms of product quality. The lack of plastic in the packaging is excellent. The only flaw, which is common in all the places I've been to, is the feeling that the premises aren't thoroughly cleaned.

15/06/2026: We've been there for lunch and dinner several times over the past month, both as a couple and with friends and family. We've always been warmly welcomed, with warmth and extreme courtesy. The food and ingredients are top-quality, and the hospitality, especially for me as a celiac, is exceptional. A wonderful surprise in the stunning Trebbia Valley!

28/04/2026: I just had lunch, passing by on my motorbike. Friendly, attentive, excellent service, very good tagliolini with wild boar ragù, good house wine, more than fair prices. What can I say, I'm satisfied and I'll be back 😊😊😊

04/05/2026: Where are you? My wife and I tried to find you last weekend without success. We were sad to discover that the restaurant is closed. Where have you moved? We miss you!!! Best regards to the chef and the legendary Roberta!

26/12/2025: Refined, simple cuisine that highlights the flavors of the ingredients. Perfect and attentive service. Excellent value for money. The seating on the covered terrace is cool and quiet. THE RESTAURANT CLOSED IN OCTOBER 2025 BECAUSE THE OWNER INTENDS TO SELL THE PREMISES. IT IS UNKNOWN IF IT WILL REOPEN IN ANOTHER LOCATION.

08/08/2026: We arrived late last night, received a warm welcome and the food was excellent.

21/07/2026: Exactly what one need when riding a bike

22/08/2026: The best pizza we have ever had in our life. Every future trip to Italy will include this restaurant. You absolutely must try the Profumi Liguri. It was the winner of the Pizza World Championships in 2019. This pizza stands out as exceptional and worthy of a perfect review. Reservation recommended, however you can wait if you want. Nice shaded area in evening time.

21/08/2026: Very nice place in the center of Levanto. Excellent pizzas with a very digestible and flaky dough. Quality toppings and reasonable prices. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Advance reservations recommended.

19/08/2026: Nice place, good ice cream, slow service, slightly arrogant waiters

16/08/2026: First of all, amazing location!! The view and atmosphere are spectacular. The staff is helpfull and friendly, not super hosts but nothing missing. On the food I am conflicted. The one dish (sea bass tartare) was elegant yet complex. A great starter. Then other dishes were tastefull but most seem to lack freshness and balance. Tastefull for sure, but to much fat and rich flavours. One note though, the music on the terrace was very commercial top 40 which in our taste did not match the surroundings at all.

17/06/2026: Characteristic place, worth returning to, good focaccia and pesto

08/06/2026: The cheese focaccia is excellent

14/06/2026: Excellent food, very welcoming and kind staff, highly recommend 🙂

02/06/2026: Spectacular food, super convenient tablet ordering. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the owners' fat dog is there to welcome you, and he's a sweetheart. The waiters are incredibly helpful and friendly, especially the curly-haired girl and Baidang—I love Baidang.

06/08/2026: It's a good place, the staff is friendly, kind and helpful.

26/07/2026: Fantastic staff, not a particularly pretty place, but it makes you feel at home. Delicious croissants, fair prices.

02/07/2026: Nice pub with a good selection of beers. Friendly and welcoming staff.

24/06/2026: €4 for a Lemon Soda... Thanks, but it's an unreasonable price. The service and atmosphere are nice, but the prices are unjustifiable.

27/10/2025: Nice place, a little pricey. €11 for a panna cotta with coffee. But good.

25/10/2025: Best food I've had since arriving in Italy. And an amazing view on top of that. Get your baked goods here.

19/07/2026: We ate very well; the owner-chef loves his job, and the welcome was warm and friendly, without boasting about his Michelin-starred reputation. Among the many dishes we chose, I remember the excellent paccheri with anchovies and fresh cherry tomatoes; the ravioli were also very good, as well as the amazing octopus all'inferno. The house white wine was also excellent, as were the desserts. The price was more than reasonable, thank you.

16/07/2026: Excellent food, excellent hospitality, definitely recommended

28/07/2026: Good restaurant, very kind and helpful

05/05/2026: A place from another era in a fantastic location, off the beaten track. It's worth spending an evening to "breathe in" the emotions of times gone by. The food is as good as ever. 2026... we're back, like every year. Everything confirmed. Thank you, Mrs. Giuseppina.
