I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

08/10/2025: On our last night in Santa Margherita Ligure, we went to La Cesarina and it was just an incredible experience. Matteo designed the place to feel like home with couches, great lighting, nice music, and adorable pictures of his 8 dogs. The food was sooooo good (highly recommend the Ravioli with Veal, easily my favorite pasta dish in Italy). It’s a little down the road from the shore, so try to make it there for the experience! Grazie mille, Matteo!!!

18/08/2025: Lovely atmosphere and food. The proprietress gave the experience a personal touch and clearly loves what she does.

21/11/2025: Exceptional restaurant!! A family restaurant. The food was great, everything an Italian food enthusiast could hope for, and the service was top notch. Very highly recommended.

04/11/2025: Exceptionally good pasta carbonara

09/11/2025: I have traveled quite a bit, in Italy of course but across the world too: I am no part of any jury but let it be known that this was the best pizza I ever had. Congratulations, maestro!!🙏🏻

01/11/2025: The pizzas are fantastic and don't have the same toppings as everywhere else. Very nice. It's a shame that the owners and staff don't seem to care about welcoming guests. We weren't greeted after waiting quite a while (they don't adhere to the opening hours). We were brought the wrong drinks, and we waited forever for dessert. In my opinion, the service staff would be good, but they're poorly managed. We also had the misfortune of having a noisy family behind us (the kids had their parents wrapped around their little paws). The place looks cool, though it can be a bit noisy depending on the corner. In short: You practically have to earn these delicious pizzas.

02/11/2025: A place for young and old. The food and service are fast, always friendly, and helpful.

24/05/2025: Questo è un posto di casa, ci veniamo spesso con gli amici. Fanno da bere,da mangiare sono simpatici meglio del gallina non ce n'è

18/08/2025: The food was excellent, the welcome was warm, but it took way too long to serve the dishes... they could use a little more speed.

10/08/2025: We had a wonderful holiday in a beautiful location! Very friendly, helpful owners. Excellent value for money. And we enjoyed a Ligurian menu twice! Absolutely delicious!

06/11/2025: Everything was really excellent, especially the focaccia with cheese.

03/11/2025: Everything was perfect. The pizza was really good, made with quality ingredients. The service was impeccable and very friendly. Highly recommended!

21/01/2025: I bought a vegan cake at the last minute. It was fresh that morning, simple, light, and had a balanced sweet flavor. The lady was very helpful in accommodating the customer. Congratulations 👏

24/07/2025: Wilden graag naar dit visrestaurant maar helaas het is een Mexicaans restaurant geworden.. Jammer voor ons maar fijn voor jullie om even te weten toch

09/06/2025: Uscendo dal centro del paese, abbiamo trovato un ottimo ristorante di pesce . Taglierini ai gamberi rossi e pistacchi di bronte eccezionali. Anche l'orata al forno molto gustosa. La signora molto gentile e simpatica. Ristorante pulito. Torneremo. Grazie per la bella serata

01/11/2025: A pastry shop full of sweets and candies that says "we don't have any left" to a child who comes in on Halloween night to trick-or-treat and is sent away empty-handed... We've said it all. Luckily, in Pietra Ligure, there are other shopkeepers with more empathy and sensitivity.

25/10/2025: I ordered the Dolcissima cake for my aunt's birthday. The cake is delicious and beautifully decorated. The pastry chefs are excellent.

20/10/2025: Excellent food. Service was a bit cold, as was the dining room. Overall, a positive review.

03/08/2025: Abbiamo festeggiato il compleanno del nostro caro Fulvio pranzando in questa piacevole e ben curata trattoria. Ottime materie prime con una cuoca super in cucina e gentilezza della figlia in sala. Tutto veramente molto buono. Consigliatissimo sicuramente. Grazie e arrivederci

13/10/2025: We stopped at Geppy’s Bistrot for lunch while passing through Ventimiglia, and I’m really glad we did. It’s just a short walk from the train station, but once you're inside, it feels calm, modern, and quietly elegant — a bit of a hidden gem. The lunch menu was small but thoughtful. I had a ravioli dish that was fresh and beautifully balanced — not heavy, but still full of flavour. Portions weren’t huge, but just right for a midday meal, especially if you’re continuing your day afterwards. Everything felt well-prepared and seasonal, and the plating had that nice attention to detail without being overdone. Service was friendly but discreet, and we appreciated how relaxed the atmosphere was — not rushed, not loud, just a comfortable pace. It’s the kind of place where you can actually enjoy your food and maybe linger a bit with a coffee or glass of wine. If you’re in Ventimiglia and want something better than a quick bite but not overly formal, I’d absolutely recommend it for lunch. It’s a quiet, quality break from the bustle of travel.

05/09/2025: A pleasant surprise right next to the train station. Good food.

28/11/2025: Always very crowded, but the pizza never disappoints, always excellent!

02/11/2025: Excellent pizzas, generous sharing platter, attentive service despite the crowds, very friendly owner

14/08/2025: Ordered two coffees and one croissant with Nutella inside of it. We liked our little time to breakfast. Unfortunately the focaccie wasn’t available today, maybe the next time it will be. The personal is professional!
