I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Imperia

30/03/2026: Where is the hospitality here? That evening, only four tables were occupied: three Italian guests and us. When the owner wasn't cooking in the kitchen, he was sitting at the Italian tables chatting with them. We weren't even acknowledged with a glance or a "tutto bene?" (everything alright?). We didn't feel welcome at all. The food was okay, but nothing special. The waiter was quick and considerably more hospitable than the owner.

08/03/2026: We came for lunch by chance... And it's become one of those few favorite places, those places where when you want to eat out you say, "I'll go to Beach, I eat well and leave satisfied." The appetizers are excellent, the first courses are exceptional, and the second courses are unsurpassed... Generous portions, always fresh ingredients, dishes prepared to order. Artisanal desserts. Added value: local wines and olive oil from small local businesses. Finally, the friendliness and warmth of the entire staff, a very kind Barbara who, together with Michel, know how to welcome you, and an exceptional chef, Antonio, who puts his heart into what he does. An enviable location, just 3 meters from the sea.

04/03/2026: Excellent and friendly service. Unique location overlooking the sea, truly delicious seafood. The strength of this place is its simplicity, not to be missed if you come to Arma di Taggia!

30/01/2026: A lovely discovery. A restaurant with a terrace overlooking the sea, the atmosphere is very basic, but we tried the fish first course of the day, the desserts, and the accompanying focaccia: everything was delicious and reasonably priced, with friendly service.

01/10/2025: Judging by the over-whelming review responses so far being combative rather than accepting, I did wonder if it were worth writing this. After all, isn’t one positive aspect of an honest review being that those responsible for the establishment can improve? I visited with my husband - one night stay. First things first, acknowledgment where it is due, the owners/people at this establishment are lovely and are intent on giving good service. All are very friendly and courteous -but other than this element, I’m afraid I’m at a loss as to why many other reviews are so at odds with our own recent experience. The views, of course, are absolutely stunning ….. but when that’s been said, nothing else is anywhere close to acceptable, let alone impressive. It’s obvious that the picture-book location is expected to deflect any and all expectations of comfort. There really is precious little. Please don’t expect that the photos were taken this side of the millennium, and at that fast-receding point in time, the decoration and facilities were more than likely passable - but having clearly had zero investment in the fabric since, it has become tired and massively past its sell-by date and in dire need of maintenance on a grand scale. It has to be said, however, that as some buildings fall into decrepitude, they become oddly iconic. Perhaps this is a case in point….. but be warned, don’t expect anything less than an authentic Adam’s Family mansion experience complete with incredible, breath-taking views.

21/09/2025: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel La Riserva di Castel d'Appio. The place is full of charm, the view is magnificent, and the setting is very relaxing. The staff is charming and efficient, whether at reception, at breakfast, or in the restaurant. The rooms are comfortable and the food is of high quality. We will gladly return!

31/03/2026: 😀 Sipping an Ormeasco di Pornassio accompanied by a surprising panissa artichokes and spring onions I was left speechless 🔝 Attention to detail and a culture not only food and wine that you can breathe as soon as you enter 🤩 A little gem ♥️ Buena Vida and see you next time 😎

28/03/2026: Every time I return to Imperia, I visit this wonderful wine bar. The wine list is extensive and includes many gems. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can enjoy excellent dishes to accompany your meal.

14/03/2026: I really like the restaurant and have so many memories there. Excellent restaurant, I recommend it. 😉

05/03/2026: Great experience, the dishes offered are all homemade and very good. Then, as was the custom in the old days, they come back several times to ask for seconds. Excellent service, reasonable price.

08/04/2026: The service was very slow and they kept forgetting things. The food was okay.

04/04/2026: Excellent restaurant, plentiful and good dishes, friendly staff, excellent wine, excellent fish, excellent price

04/04/2026: The service is incredibly fast (you don't even have time to order before you're served!) but it's pushy. The food is good, but definitely overpriced for what you get.

25/02/2026: Aside from the pretty waitress, there's nothing positive to report. The food is served in under three minutes, which basically means it's just reheated. My Pasta Mare had absolutely no seafood except for the seaweed. The service was pushy. It's a shame this restaurant is praised in the 2024 travel guide. The ambiance is actually nice, but the mold on the ceiling is unacceptable. That's all I have to say about that.

31/03/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want to eat well in Bordighera without risk, go to Saraceno 👍 A truly quaint place in Bordighera Alta, with a quiet atmosphere and fast service even when it's crowded. The pizza is well-made, light, and cooked in a wood-fired oven, but the seafood dishes are the best in my opinion: generous portions and very flavorful. The seafood risotto is a real treat, creamy and rich, and you can taste the fresh ingredients. The prices are fair for what you get, and you'll leave feeling full and satisfied. Recommended for both couples and friends... one of those places you always want to return to 💯

28/03/2026: The restaurant is a true gem for those who love authentic cuisine and a charming atmosphere. Dishes are prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, showcasing the flavors of traditional Ligurian cuisine. The service is friendly and attentive, making every guest feel welcome. The location, immersed in the charm of the historic village, makes the experience even more special. A perfect place for a relaxing and memorable dinner.

19/03/2026: I think it's a shame to have bottled sweet and sour sauce on a €20 dish.

15/03/2026: Very good pinsa, friendly staff, located on the pedestrian street.

03/10/2025: Great pizza, crispy baked, super toppings, and absolutely delicious. Even the crust tastes good. I'm deducting one star for the service; the waiter jumps over to clear the plate as soon as one of the two people has finished eating 👎. I find that unpleasant; they clear the plates even after the second customer has finished eating. Despite this faux pas, I can still recommend the pizzeria.

30/09/2025: I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was very friendly and spoke a little German, so ordering was easy. I ordered swordfish and a freshly cut tomahawk steak. Freshly grilled, they were delicious.

01/04/2026: A wonderful place, like stepping into Wonderland. The staff is extremely friendly, and the homemade food is sublime. For those who love nature and want to treat themselves to a totally relaxing lunch or dinner, this is the place to be.

31/03/2026: Everything was delicious! Simple, you can never go wrong! Fantastic place surrounded by greenery! I've hosted several events, top service.

05/04/2026: Excellent focaccia of any kind...and friendly, smiling staff. I'll be back.

28/02/2026: Focaccia with cheese is delicious! What a great find in Sanremo! I thought I'd never find it!

14/02/2026: A watered-down spritz for €8, accompanied by...nothing. We had to add chips on the side, so as not to drink on an empty stomach (it was aperitivo time). One of our group also asked for a coffee, which wasn't brought because the response was, "We don't do coffee." Very curious, since I'd been to the same place a while ago and had a coffee (it was awful, but I wanted to give this establishment a second chance). The table was also quite dirty. Failed.

21/01/2026: I went there for breakfast. Small terrace by the sea. The waiter was very friendly. Expect to pay around €15 for a full breakfast.

20/03/2026: Nice place, welcoming, and with excellent meat. The rostelle are a must! Thank you!

01/03/2026: A wonderful meat restaurant. A non-touristy place with one of the best price-quality ratios in the region. Every dish is delicious.

12/12/2025: Great friendliness, despite the stereotypes about Ligurian hospitality!

30/11/2025: Had a great few beers here. Lovely atmosphere, nice free tapas. Excellent choice in music !!. Bartender was a total professional and all round nice guy. Totally recommend 👌.
