I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

12/10/2025: Excellent pizzas, wide selection of draft beers, I recommend the truly special pinsa, courteous and professional staff

10/10/2025: I'll start by saying that over the past few years, I've only given positive publicity to this place. Excellent pizzas, fresh, quality ingredients, and a variety of dishes that are always good. The staff is friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, two weeks ago, we were deeply disappointed. Even more disappointing considering we went there for the umpteenth time because we thought we'd eat well. Let's start with the fact that it was a cold evening, and they sat us outside, where the curtains wouldn't close. On one side, they had completely open tables next to us, and people were keeping their jackets on. The wait staff was completely out of sorts and not up to the task of managing all the customers... the food arrived before the drinks! And we had to point this out to them. No bread, even after repeated requests. Then there were the dishes... spaghetti with clams, completely overcooked, sticky, and with onions! Pizza with frozen fries on top, which therefore cooled everything down. The hamburger buns, which have always been delicious, had extremely tough meat, terrible quality. In short, given the non-trattoria prices, you expect to eat and be served more than well! We skipped dessert because we were cold and so disappointed we left feeling disappointed. What a shame! I don't know if the chef has changed, but the wait staff has certainly changed, and the owner is still the same... but right now, I strongly advise against it.

28/11/2025: I had an excellent, delicious coffee and a delicious and generous fruit salad, sitting at an inside table in this restaurant and bar located in Genoa Campi, next to Leroy Merlin. There are also several outdoor tables overlooking the street. At this restaurant, you can have breakfast or lunch, with a wide selection of first and second courses. The barista and her staff were welcoming, competent, friendly, and helpful. The service was attentive, fast, and reasonably priced.

12/08/2025: Good and well-prepared food in proportion to the price, friendly staff

13/09/2025: We had dinner at this restaurant in Badalucco and it was a great experience. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and the cuts were truly delicious. The service was courteous and absolutely helpful. Highly recommended!

01/09/2025: Beautifully located with a view of Badalucco! Very friendly atmosphere and super authentic cuisine. We really enjoyed the food ♥️

02/11/2025: Welcoming, friendly, and fast. A great option for a business lunch with excellent, home-cooked food at a good price.

20/10/2025: Sorry, but lunch was disappointing.

30/10/2025: Risotto, wine - simply delightful!

04/10/2025: The atmosphere is welcoming, a typical Ligurian osteria. The staff is very friendly, and the service is attentive. The dishes are excellent, prepared with local, quality ingredients. I recommend it and will be back!

15/10/2025: It's unfair that the Lavagna seafront should be disrupted by the interests of a "beach owner." The concession should not be renewed and a beauty that belongs to everyone should be restored to the local community and tourists.

24/09/2025: We visited at the end of September and sat alone on the terrace. We enjoyed a lunch menu starting at 12:30 p.m. with a magnificent view. Our large dog was welcome. The food was excellent, as was the service. We would be happy to return. However, the opening hours listed online are inconsistent, so it's advisable to check beforehand.

28/10/2025: Then drive out of Sanremo to Bulsana. Just follow the coast. On the only road, watch out; after a bend on the right, you'll find the restaurant Ai Torchi. A super friendly welcome awaits, and they'll ask what's for lunch or dinner. No menu needed. You'll be served the best of what they've just bought, freshest ingredients. It's a place like this, sadly, is becoming increasingly rare. This kind of ambiance and authentic atmosphere is what you're looking for in Liguria. Here you'll still find a truly welcoming Ligurian setting. Romano

06/10/2025: I was at the fabulous meat restaurant, beautiful setting and a fabulous view

26/09/2025: Old-fashioned but comfortable houses in the greenery, a special experience, near a bar and restaurant.

11/10/2025: EDIT FOR FURTHER COMPLIMENTS. Even the weekly workers' menu for 12 euros is something wonderful in terms of quality and quantity. When you pay the bill, you can't believe you ate so much and of such high quality for so little. The 25 euro menu includes one appetizer (there were two of us and they offered a different one as a tasting), a first course, a second course and a side dish, a quarter of wine plus water, and fruit with ice cream or liqueur. The quantities? Incredible. The quality is excellent!!! Honest, precise, and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 😍

05/10/2025: I made reservations on their website. I walked a mile to get there only to find them closed. I couldn’t get a logical answer as to why they took the reservation while knew they will be closed. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!

11/11/2025: A hotel from the 1970s, but well-maintained and cared for! Quality food, traditional cuisine, excellent service, and friendly owners! It's a 5-minute walk from the center of beautiful Santo Stefano d'Aveto! We'll be back!!

27/10/2025: I visited this restaurant for the first time during the traditional transhumance on October 26, 2025, and I had a VERY WELL lunch. A small disappointment is that a waitress (whose name I don't know) acted rudely toward me over something trivial. I wanted to clarify this immediately, but she responded with superficiality and arrogance. I understand the nerves caused by the busy day, given that the restaurant was packed for the event. I'm a drop in the ocean, but customers should be treated with some respect and courtesy, given that they are a source of income...

19/11/2025: Extremely welcoming atmosphere, exceptional kindness, excellent food quality, and rare courtesy, very rare in Liguria. I can highly recommend it.

08/11/2025: I stopped in today for lunch with friends. Since there was a fair in the nearby town, the restaurant was very crowded. They probably weren't expecting such a large crowd, and the service was a bit slow. The quality of the food (decent), I have to say, is always the same (I've had lunch here several times), although I think they could put more care into the dishes and do some things better. Recommended for those who need a lunch stop without too many expectations and, above all, who have plenty of time to spare.

02/11/2025: Dinner with friends at this Sarzana restaurant, which I'd often heard about but had never been to. Our table was in the second room, the smaller and more intimate one, with stone vaults. The atmosphere was very relaxing and definitely less chaotic than the main room, where there was a lot of hustle and bustle. The focaccia was truly tasty and crispy, and the cured meats were top-quality. I then ordered a plate of tortelli with meat sauce, which were truly delicious: I even mopped up the sauce with bread because the sauce was top-notch. The desserts were good. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick and accurate, despite the crowds. The price was a little above average for what we ate, but the quality was undeniable. I recommend it.

15/09/2025: Tourist menu with limited choices. We ordered trofie with pesto, a fundamentally simple dish. It had no flavor, was washed out, and even less portioned. Slow service and waiters smoking in the alley. What can I say?

27/07/2025: Sono sempre più convinto che le gastronomie siano la salvezza dei popoli. Domenica a pranzo, ci addentriamo nel locale e la signora ci indirizza su come funziona. 15 € un primo, un secondo, contorno, acque e caffè. Fantastico. Prendi il vassoio, bicchiere, posate, indichi cosa vuoi prendere, paghi, ti siedi, mangi e alla fine metti il vassoio e il resto nei contenitori per la differenziata. Semplice, senza pretese, veloce, tutti alimenti ottimi e economico. Tornerò sicuramente.

15/07/2025: abbiamo scoperto questo localino due giorni prima della fine delle vacanze. Siamo rimasti colpiti dall'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, dalla simpatia dello staff e dalla genuinità e piacevolezza del cibo. Acqua gratis self service e frutta fresca o frutta secca a disposizione in ogni tavolo, cosa sinceramente mai vista in un locale. Il fine settimana fanno ottimi testaroli e carne alla brace. Ottime le lasagne al pesto e l'insalata russa. Gradevole il sorbetto fresco che si può gustare in autonomia dall'apposito distributore

18/11/2025: A very nice restaurant with a long tradition.

18/10/2025: Very good grilled picanha, excellent cuisine, congratulations.

22/11/2025: Good pizza, service a bit confused, atmosphere...the kitchen is dirty...the areas are not very clean, apart from the drinks.

14/10/2025: I wouldn't have done it, I spend €83 on dinner and you charge me €1 for a leftover pizza (It was the tip for the guys, they settled for €2!) 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
