I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

25/06/2025: Top! It deserves a Michelin star. Wonderful wine, food and service. Ari and Nadia took care of the service with competence, friendliness and patience. Lucia takes care of the kitchen and the cellar in every detail. Must try.

20/05/2025: Really nice place with original natural decor. Excellent and local food, also original…today the roses excel!

30/08/2025: Polite, unobtrusive, and helpful. Excellent food and value for money.

29/08/2025: Typical, informal place. Excellent food and good value!

14/07/2025: Situato in una stradina parallela al budello principale di Cogoleto questo ristorante, dall’esterno, non vi colpirà particolarmente con insegne luminescenti o cartelli pubblicitari ma, appena entrati, vi sentirete un po’ come a casa vostra. Non posso non partire dalla signora Ada, la vera storia di questo locale. Ci accoglie come fossimo degli abituè, amici di famiglia, vicini di casa. Ed è proprio così che ci si sente dopo qualche minuto passato insieme. La spiegazione dettagliata del menù non è la solita tiritera di piatti, ingredienti o elenco di materie prime … ogni piatto ci viene descritto insieme alla sua storia, i suoi aneddoti, la ricetta, il modo di come la signora Ada (o semplicemente Ada come lei vuole essere chiamata) lo cucina a casa sua. Questa accoglienza, così diversa da qualsiasi posto che ho frequentato in tutti questi anni, mi ha fatto innamorare di questo posto prima ancora di assaggiare una qualsiasi pietanza e ho già, sorprendentemente, l’acquolina in bocca. Siamo in quattro e ognuno di noi prende uno starter diverso. Il guazzetto di muscoli (cozze per i non Liguri), il Cenonno composto da una serie di piattini con assaggi mare e monti, caldi o freddi, polpo e patate, mentre io scelgo il piatto che avevo già visto sul loro sito web: code di gamberi avvolti nel lardo d’Arnad con stracciatella di burrata, semplicemente spaziali, cotti alla perfezione, con materie prime di altissima qualità, sono entrati di prepotenza nella mia personalissima top 10 di piatti più buoni mangiati nella mia vita ! Qui Ada, ci grazia della ricetta “casalinga” di questo piatto, semplicissima, rapidissima ma con ingredienti che devono essere necessariamente di ottima qualità ! Proseguiamo questa esperienza culinaria eccezionale, con i ravioli di burrata con pomodorini, basilico e acciughe di Cetara, delicatissimi, preparati alla perfezione e cotti al dente come piacciono a me. Finiamo con la “Tavolozza di dolci” tutti provenienti dalla Campania e Sicilia, uno più buono dell’altro. Io però ho scelto la delizia al limone tutta per me e ho fatto bene in quanto era veramente troppo golosa per condividerla con qualcuno. Di una cosa sono convinto adesso, il ristorante Nonno Cuoco è sicuramente la mia prima scelta a Cogoleto.

13/07/2025: Located on a narrow street parallel to the main street of Cogoleto, this restaurant may not particularly impress you from the outside with its neon signs or advertising, but as soon as you enter, you'll feel a little at home. I can't help but start with Signora Ada, the true story of this place. She welcomes us as if we were regulars, family friends, neighbors. And that's exactly how you feel after spending a few minutes together. The detailed explanation of the menu isn't the usual rigmarole of dishes, ingredients, or a list of raw materials... each dish is described to us along with its history, its anecdotes, the recipe, and the way Signora Ada (or simply Ada, as she prefers to be called) cooks it at home. This welcome, so different from any other place I've frequented in all these years, made me fall in love with this place before even tasting a single dish, and my mouth is already, surprisingly, watering. There are four of us, and we each choose a different starter. The mussel stew (mussels for non-Ligurians), the Cenonno, a series of small plates with hot and cold seafood and mountain appetizers, octopus, and potatoes, while I chose the dish I'd already seen on their website: shrimp tails wrapped in Arnad lard with burrata stracciatella. Simply out of this world, cooked to perfection, with the highest-quality ingredients, it's now firmly in my personal top 10 of the best dishes I've ever eaten! Ada, please share the "homemade" recipe for this dish—very simple, very quick, but with ingredients that must be top-quality! We continue this exceptional culinary experience with burrata ravioli with cherry tomatoes, basil, and Cetara anchovies—delicate, perfectly prepared, and cooked al dente, just the way I like them. We finish with the "Palette of Desserts," all sourced from Campania and Sicily, each one better than the last. I, however, chose the lemon delight all for myself, and I was right to do so, as it was truly too delicious to share. One thing I'm now convinced of: Nonno Cuoco is definitely my first choice in Cogoleto.

20/08/2025: A small restaurant right on the seafront offering excellent value: an extensive seafood menu, excellent focaccia Genovese, and wood-fired pizza, with tables both on the indoor veranda overlooking the sea and outdoors under the stars, enjoying the sunset. It's not pretentious, but highly recommended, especially in the summer months.

16/08/2025: Lunch on an Augustan day, eaten well, very good soup

29/07/2025: Great experience. Good pizzas and fair prices.

29/03/2025: I was passing through, I stopped to eat the pizza, it was huge and very good, satisfied.

15/07/2025: Finally, a bar where a smile and coffee are practically free 🤣 (coffee here costs 1 euro). The staff is very friendly! They have a generous breakfast (all kinds of focaccia, croissants, and pastries) and even have milk for those with intolerances. Well done! I can't give the service 5 stars because they don't serve at your table, but it doesn't matter; they serve quickly and have plenty of seating both inside and outside.

05/07/2025: An aperitif to forget 10 euros per glass accompanied by focaccia of non-Ligurian quality

23/08/2025: Great family run place, low key operation, very helpful and accommodating staff, good fresh food. They even accommodated us when the kitchen had just closed, plus served us on lower terrace as my companion could not climb the stairs. Excellent value, and extremely attentive. Thank you all.

12/08/2025: I'm giving one star because it's the best I can give. The lunch was embarrassing, to say the least. The waitress was irritated and sweaty, responding annoyed to every request. The tables were cleaned for the last time since the war. The tagliolini with clams were literally inedible, dry and bitter due to too much parsley, with no fishy flavor whatsoever. Finally, a tart with undercooked dough. The farmed sea bass was small but edible. It's cheap, but I'd also like to see what it looked like! Not recommended.

17/08/2025: The atmosphere is neat and tidy, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The pizzas are generous and delicious!

15/08/2025: Excellent pizza, very fast delivery

21/07/2025: The super pizzeria but also excellent first and second courses, it would be a real shame to go to Nervi and not pass by the marina and stop for Halloween.

13/07/2025: Living up to its reputation! Excellent food and good service. Be careful, it's best to make a reservation. Also, be careful with the Tiramisu: it's to die for!

03/09/2025: Real Italian pizzas! Fast service, it's crowded, a little noisy, but it's worth it! The tiramisu served in an Italian coffee maker is delicious.

31/08/2025: Super pizzeria, food, welcome, price, everything ok!!

12/08/2025: The sea food tasted very good, fresh and crispy. The waiters were friendly and spoke English and French. Cozy atmosphere and would like to try it at the evening for dinner.

02/08/2025: Cozy place with top notch dishes and friendly service by the local team. We enjoyed the fish crudo, spaghetti vongole, and the black angus tagliata. I have returned for a second time a week later to test some other dishes, and again all high quality. Experience would be even better if smoking would not be allowed on the terrace

07/06/2025: Nothing to do. The best soy cappuccino there is. Chapeau! A guarantee even over time ...

04/09/2025: Came here by bike along the famous cycle path… asked for a Salad… we got the best salad you could ever imagine: with a bowl made of pizza… just gorgeous and super tasty!

28/08/2025: Positive experience, good pizza but room for improvement. Friendly staff. Very nice place.

24/08/2025: Typical Ligurian cuisine in a beautiful location – a traditionally prepared, set menu in a warm atmosphere. Especially child-friendly! Highly recommended.

14/08/2025: What a lovely evening. Great atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming service. Many courses, very varied and delicious. I can only recommend it.

06/05/2025: Good place to spend a quiet and carefree evening, eating and playing bowling, billiards etc.

18/04/2025: Excellent choice of burgers and good pizza. Fast and friendly service. Excellent value for money. Compliments
