I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

07/01/2026: A restaurant in the hills of La Spezia. The atmosphere is rustic yet refined. The varied menu features meat-based dishes such as porchetta, Ligurian-style rabbit, and strictly grilled meats. Traditional piadinas, baked in terracotta pots, are prepared in the large fireplace in the dining room and can be enjoyed with cured meats and/or stracchino cheese. The house red wine, Sangiovese, is very good and aromatic. Prices are moderately low. I highly recommend it. We love it here every time we visit this area.

21/12/2025: This is a simple restaurant high above La Spezia. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, there are hardly any places like this left on the other side of the tunnel, on the "sunny side." The traditional focaccia of the Ligurian coast is cooked there by two nimble young men in an open fire in the middle of the restaurant, between terracotta plates that absorb the moisture from the egg-free flatbread, and immediately brought to the table. There, the guest fills them, similar to a taco, with delicacies from the kitchen: grilled vegetables from eggplant to zucchini and spicy tagliata beef. Beforehand, we had a wonderful ragu. Truly a hidden gem! And it's only 45 minutes from our house in Levanto. It's easily accessible via the stunning SP 150 road high above the sea. You can also take the bus from La Spezia.

14/03/2026: Amazing flavor in the pizzas. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in Monterosso.

10/03/2026: We lived in Monterosso and traveled all Chonkwe Terra looking for calzone. And when we failed we came to the Smorfia. That two calzones were best pizzas in the world! Yes, people is passing by. But we forgot of that after glass of wine.

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

29/11/2025: We were on the bike path and stopped randomly. The best tables with a view were reserved, but that didn't detract from the setting. The service was efficient and welcoming, and the fish dishes were excellent. We ordered the seafood pasta and the grilled anchovies. You can tell the kitchen staff are professional, efficient, and generous!

16/10/2025: Exceptional trattoria, a welcoming, family atmosphere, and prompt, attentive service. Spent a Sunday with the family; truly excellent value for money. Exceptional staff.

25/01/2026: The place is a bit hidden just like the name, but it's a good place to eat good food and the courtesy is excellent.

14/01/2026: A less visible but well-known trattoria, with good food and a few dishes for a quick lunch!

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!

04/02/2026: Very good pizza, kind owners... that's no small thing.

29/11/2025: A dream place! Great food, as are the owners!!!

14/02/2026: The food was excellent, the drinks were excellent, and the staff was super friendly. We highly recommend it and will be back!

10/01/2026: This place is perhaps more suited to dinner than lunch. The food was average; the cod seemed undercooked.

14/10/2025: Unfortunately, there was an event going on, and someone in attendance kept a door open, and we were freezing! But everything was excellent!

13/10/2025: Unfortunately, there was only one fish from aquaculture. Given the restaurant's location by the sea, we would have expected a selection of two or three freshly caught fish. A sea bream from aquaculture was a disappointment for a restaurant with such a great atmosphere.

30/12/2025: Everything was great. We went for a drink and felt very comfortable.

28/12/2025: We stopped for a quick bite. Excellent sandwiches, and very well-filled piadinas. Recommended.

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.

21/03/2026: Dry and flavorless farinata. Potato and green bean pizza arrived almost cold. 4 Seasons pizza with 4 artichoke slices added for a €3 surcharge. The waitress was unkind; she even shushed me when I was ordering, saying "just a minute" and turning to the person with me. I sat with the door behind me, and every time it opened I froze. There were only 5 tables occupied that evening. The previous owners were better! I wouldn't recommend it.

20/03/2026: Quality and kindness in the most beautiful square in Albenga! Superb pizza.

20/01/2026: Excellent place, with interesting aperitifs and delicious wines. I just wonder how you can offer an excellent wine alongside a mediocre one? A place, like a brand, should be "targeted"—excuse the unorthodox term. I wish the owner of this place, undoubtedly one of the best in the area, had the courage to eliminate the mediocre and commercial elements in favor of what's already available in his business and makes for an incredible experience. P.S.: I recommend Bordeaux Ricaud.

22/11/2025: Excellent aperitif with delicious, tasty, and unusual appetizers. Well done!!

31/03/2026: Excellent Italian food. I recommend it!

22/03/2026: Food was not bad. But absolutely overpriced. An artichoke salad 16 Euros. Adding artichoke to the vongole spaguetti 8 euros/person. Would not return.

02/03/2026: I love this pizzeria. The retro atmosphere, the quality of the ingredients. It's really a great place. I highly recommend it.

14/12/2025: Simply the best!!! I haven't had such a good pizza in years! Fantastic atmosphere, excellent service, and extreme professionalism, topped off with a good dose of friendliness and warmth! Highly recommended
