I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

31/05/2025: The food is solidly good. But be careful - the owner (bald and tattooed) treated us like dirt. You get the plates slammed down like I personally wouldn't even throw food at a dog's feet. The dislike towards non-Italians is very noticeable. In addition, we are charged for things that we definitely didn't order, resulting in a price of €50 per person (I'm happy to pay that - but then it has to be worth it). Sorry, no matter how good the food is. This guy is anything but a cordial host. The bad comments about him are definitely justified. He will probably reply and deny everything. It's a shame, because basically everyone in this place is friendly. But there always has to be a black sheep. And just to let you know - that’s NOT a fake comment. We’ve been there yesterday!

31/05/2025: Very very bad experience. The boss of the place was super rude, like he don’t even like customers. Especially tourists – he look at us like we are stupid or annoying. We just wanted a nice dinner but the Restaurant Manager was extremely rude and the Food was average at best!!. Also the bill was way too high – they charged us more than the menu said!!! Worst place we eat on our trip. Don’t go!!!

21/05/2025: I'll start by saying we didn't eat. We went to this restaurant because some locals recommended it. Before entering we looked at the menu outside and decided to eat the seafood spaghetti and the mixed fried fish. We went in, the waitress took us to a table and just before we sat down another waitress came by with 2 plates of seafood spaghetti. I assure you that the portion was really small, it must have been about 40 grams of spaghetti. At which point we looked at each other and left immediately. That's when we understood why the price was so affordable.

12/05/2025: Freshness of products + perfect cooking. As a starter, don't miss the Cappun Magro = fish marinated in vinegar with stewed vegetables and mussels, all cooked and served cold. Good advice from attentive staff.

03/06/2025: Everything is fresh, the chef is very friendly

03/06/2025: Too expensive for what we were offered Not a very warm welcome

14/06/2025: Excellent food, I've never had such good pasta with clams. I highly recommend it.

01/05/2025: Good food at a good price bought by chance but satisfied

04/06/2025: Very good croissants and efficient and friendly service.

02/06/2025: A dive into a past that (fortunately) still resists. A beautiful pastry shop from another era that welcomes customers with a quality gastronomic proposal. We had some very good focaccias, where the freshness of the ingredients was appreciated. Very kind staff. Prices appropriate to the context.

13/06/2025: We ate well and spent the right amount, even too much of a portion...

07/06/2025: Newly renovated. Modern and cozy. Unassuming from the outside, cozy inside with a quiet patio in the courtyard. Clean and fully functional restrooms. Food and portions are tasty and good.

08/06/2025: We ate focaccia, very good and tasty. We can suggest to improve waiting time. A pleasant dinner.

19/05/2025: I'm editing my review because I went after a few years and I was happily surprised, it's even better. The atmosphere is always extremely pleasant and unique, the food was absolutely perfect, delicate, delicious. Now it's more of a classic restaurant than a focacceria and cutting boards like before. The bill is normal. A really nice place.

09/06/2025: La qualità dei prodotti proposti, la varietà, l'impiattamento, la location e il servizio: tutto dozzinale e mediocre. Ambiente caotico, pochissimo spazio tra un tavolo e l'altro, personale di sala mal organizzato e evidentemente poco qualificato. Prezzi nella media. Non ci faremo ritorno.

05/06/2025: We went for dinner on Sunday, the quality was questionable, but then again if you spend little you can't expect much.

01/06/2025: Excellent restaurant with very well cooked fish, there is also meat, very friendly and kind staff.

02/03/2025: Excellent gluten-free pizza, quick and efficient service, very kind. Highly recommended.

22/06/2025: We went for dinner one night when it was busy, even though we hadn't booked they still sat us down after a few minutes of waiting (the time for a cigarette). The trofie with pesto were good, the dish was very abundant but a bit nauseating because it had a lot of oil. The mixed fruit was little, the fried food wasn't that good and there was little variety of fish on the plate. The French fries were almost burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside (not recommended for children). The staff was quite pleasant but the waiting times were too long even considering that it was quite busy. The water wasn't cold enough for my taste.

11/06/2025: Everything was great! With three children, we didn't have to wait long. The food was delicious, the plates were almost empty, which is usually a good sign, and the kids were happy. Thank you very much.

06/04/2025: The refuge is in an optimal position.....

25/03/2025: Everything was fine and the staff were attentive and courteous. Not yet stayed at the refuge.

21/06/2025: A good trattoria on the outskirts of Sarzana, a less Tuscan classic with no surprises or novelties. Poor appetizer: three crostini served without any side dish, pleasant but too "homemade". Abundant but disjointed first course of fish, with mussels of just sufficient quality/quantity, not very "fat" and tasty. Very disappointing desserts: a FAKE tiramisu without eggs (sic), with a cream made entirely of cream and mascarpone combined with an inconsistent base of ladyfingers, and a well-made crème brulee but too thin to be fully enjoyed. Normal service. Average prices.

07/06/2025: Excellent stop. The fish is very fresh and cooked very well. We had a fried fish that surprisingly was made with fresh peace... and what about the tuna steak cooked to perfection. For a trattoria the food is excellent. Fair prices. We will definitely be back.

25/06/2025: We were very well looked after! We were on the rented chairs on the beach, and the restaurant is in the same place. We went to the counter to get drinks and snacks. Chilled white wine, breaded shrimp and delicious fried squid! Vanessa and the team took great care of us!

22/06/2025: Restaurant on the beach but the food is off-topic (Caesar salad with corn and in a bag). The waiter can't remember the order and asks for tapas, so we're given chips!

14/06/2025: We ordered pizzas for home delivery and I would say EXCELLENT!! Fast, excellent pizza, kind and I would also say very honest prices! What more could you want! Thanks

25/05/2025: A typical Italian bar with seating in the bar area, a beer garden, and a room with set tables and restaurant seating. I received a very friendly welcome and tried to speak Italian, so I don't know their foreign language skills. Reservations weren't necessary (Sat. 7:00 p.m.). The pizza was excellent, and so was the price. So, 5 out of 5 stars.

16/06/2025: I stopped for dinner at this starred restaurant a few days ago. The experience was inebriating. The food was of the highest quality, nothing like normal restaurants. I recommend anyone to go and eat there, a sublime experience.

02/03/2025: Ci sono esperienze che non si limitano a soddisfare il palato, ma che modellano il cervello e corrompono l’anima. L’esperienza “Alla scoperta dei sapori” proposta da Paola, instancabile padrona di casa, è esattamente questo: un viaggio attraverso le eccellenze liguri, tra saperi antichi e gusti autentici, in un equilibrio perfetto tra cultura e piacere. Le due ore trascorse nella Bottega dei Sapori volano in un susseguirsi di racconti appassionati e assaggi straordinari. Paola è irrefrenabile, un fiume di conoscenza e passione che trasforma ogni prodotto in una storia da ascoltare e, soprattutto, da gustare. Ogni boccone è un’esperienza, un’esplosione di sapori che non si limita al piacere momentaneo, ma lascia un segno indelebile. E quando credi che il viaggio sia terminato, arriva il gran finale: un aperitivo in compagnia dello staff, con la presenza speciale di Alison e Alessandra, in un’atmosfera che unisce convivialità e condivisione autentica. Un’esperienza che va oltre il semplice assaggio, un rito da vivere e ripetere. Se non l’avete ancora provata, prenotatela. Non ve ne pentirete.
