I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Liguria

29/07/2025: Open Monday to Saturday for lunch, changing daily menu, simple but delicious food

18/07/2025: Particularly pleasant and economical place.

21/09/2025: Upon arrival, we were informed that we would have to wait half an hour for our order. After an hour and a half, we only received our appetizers (mediocre mussels marinara and an excellent raw fish dish). Two hours later, the first courses arrived: spaghetti with clams (which turned out to be lupini beans, as we'd been warned about, but at the same price, and also very salty) and spaghetti allo scoglio (pasta that didn't really hold together with the sauce, quite disappointing). A small discount or a free liqueur would have been appreciated, or simply an apology for the long wait, but none of that happened.

10/09/2025: The fried calamari was very good, you could tell it was fresh. The pasta was just ok. The trofie al pesto had overcooked green beans and potatoes while the spaghetti al pomodoro was a bit sour. However what disappointed us the most was the service - although we were given a table well before closing time, from the beginning the servers felt like they wanted to rush our meal and get us to leave. The second we finished a dish, they would sweep up our plates before we even finished chewing.

24/08/2025: The sunbed prices were all in all fair (€40 for three is fine), but the food prices were barely justified: €20 for a plate of spaghetti with clams, truly tiny and with very few clams (50-60 grams?). They put us in the last spots, very close together: three people in the space of two... it was uncomfortable, one had to sit sideways and you risked shaking hands with the man next to you... and we were almost always in the shade. Much of the beach was empty but "reserved" for season ticket holders who never arrived, and it was impossible to move around or close the umbrellas. The proximity to the play area gave us a chance to spread out but made it less relaxing. The owner was kind, but overall the experience wasn't the best.

20/08/2025: The place is beautiful and the beach is wonderful, but I had a communication problem. When I tried to explain a situation involving a misunderstood sauce order, the gentleman was rude and charged me 2 euros for the sauce. I didn't ask for it because I had already paid. I only reported the situation because of the waste and the waiter's lack of communication. The gentleman, who appears to be the manager, told me and my family to leave because he said I had been at the restaurant for 3 hours. I wasn't informed that I had time to sit down, and the place had several empty tables. I was already leaving, but I was very embarrassed. I've never seen anything like that in my life.

11/10/2025: I went for an aperitivo, and the spritz was delicious! One of the best I've ever had, accompanied by delicious appetizers. There's also a wide selection of sweet and savory breakfast items. The atmosphere is quiet, the place clean, and the owners are very kind and friendly.

04/09/2025: Very nice place! Nice staff! Good food! Clean restaurant

04/09/2025: Excellent pizza, even gluten-free, very kind and professional owners!

23/08/2025: Found via Google, very good pizza, professional and courteous waitress, and helpful, excellent environment for children

28/09/2025: We had a great time, thanks in part to the owner's friendliness. The food is good, and there are gluten-free options.

21/09/2025: Great and simple, no unnecessary decoration, just good food. The restaurant looks very authentic, the terrace is nice but simple, too. The atmosphere inside could be a lot cosier if the light would be slightly dimmed. The food is really good and at fair costs.

21/09/2025: Excellent Genoese cuisine. Simple, unpretentious place, very friendly owners, amazing zabaglione dessert!

19/09/2025: Great experience, absolutely delicious homemade Italian food. Thank you mama! I wish we could stay longer in the area.

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

11/10/2025: A good coffee in the pedestrian area of ​​Via Cascione

10/10/2025: Friendly staff, excellent value for money

03/09/2025: Very thin pizza, the beer was more foam than beer, normal price for being at the seaside.

24/08/2025: Very good place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, efficient service and very good dishes!

17/09/2025: We needed a place to stay overnight. It was right in the centre. Europe car park (underground) is spacious, and only 10 min walk from the La Loggia.

08/09/2025: The location of the accommodation is great. The room is very clean and Ana's welcome is very pleasant. Her kindness is very much appreciated. However, the accommodation is poorly soundproofed compared to the other rooms, which must also depend on the discretion of the neighbors. No inconvenience with the bar located below, which is very nice for drinking a cocktail.

02/10/2025: If you want to pamper yourself with a high-quality breakfast in a refined, clean, and professional environment, there's no other choice. You can't go wrong here. Excellent pastries, impeccable service.

25/09/2025: You can't pay €5.50 for a caffè lungo and a corretto sambuca (more than corretto, I'd say flavored with sambuca). In Imperia, not even by the sea. As if we were in Venice. Then they complain that there's no tourism in Liguria... and they're right not to come here anymore to get ripped off. 5 stars for the service because the waiters can't do anything about it; in fact, the one at the cash register was even visibly embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't set the prices." Oh, we were sitting at a table inside, a meter from the counter (maybe that's why...). Let's add another place to those to celebrate when they close.

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.

30/09/2025: Beautiful, intimate and welcoming place...

13/09/2025: The menu has been updated with excellent offerings. Compliments to the chef and staff.
