I migliori ristoranti in Liguria

06/10/2025: Visiting the Rolli palaces is very interesting. Not all of these palaces have preserved their interiors, but the Red Palace is the richest in this regard, boasting high-quality works of art, numerous frescoes, and authentic interior furnishings. The White Palace also has paintings by Rubens, for example, while the Tursi Palace boasts a statue by Canova and violins once played by Poganini. The tour includes a visit to the courtyard between the palaces. I really wanted to see the standard of living of the Genoese nobility, and a visit to this museum gives a complete picture. They also host temporary exhibitions. In short, it's the whole package.

24/09/2025: Palazzo Rosso is part of a trio of palaces, along with Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Doria-Tursi, that can be visited as part of the Musei di Strada Nuova. A combined admission ticket to the Musei di Strada Nuova costs 9 euros. There was no long line at the ticket office. I recommend leaving this castle to the very end. It is one of the best-preserved examples of Genoese Baroque architecture and one of the palaces listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Palazzi dei Rolli system. Built between 1671 and 1677 for the Brignole-Sale family, one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Genoa, it owes its name to the red façade, characteristic of this building. In 1874, Maria Brignole-Sale, Duchess of Galliera, donated the palace and its collections to the city, thus initiating the establishment of a public museum. The façade is in the late Baroque style, distinguished by its decorative details and intense color. The interiors are richly decorated with frescoes and stuccos, including those by Gregorio De Ferrari and Domenico Pioli. The palace retains the layout of a typical Genoese aristocratic residence, with stately halls and private apartments. The collection is one of the most valuable paintings in Genoa, encompassing works by Italian, Flemish, Spanish, and French masters. Italian Painting: - Guido Reni – Portrait of a Lady Dressed as a Goddess - Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) – Samson Captured by the Philistines - Bernardo Strozzi – Portrait of an Old Man and other paintings with religious and secular themes Flemish Painting: - Anthony van Dyck – several portraits of Genoese aristocrats (Van Dyck lived in Genoa from 1621 to 1627, creating numerous portraits of the local elite) - Paolo Rubens (Peter Paul Rubens) – works with religious and mythological themes Spanish and French Painting: - Francisco de Zurbarán – Saint Francis in Ecstasy - Murillo – Girl with a Coin - Philippe de Champaigne – Portrait of Cardinal Richelieu The Palazzo Rosso is the heart of the Musei di Strada Nuova collection, showcasing European art from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Thanks to its preserved interior decorations and rich collection of paintings, it offers an insight into the world of the Genoese aristocracy and its patronage of the arts. The only thing the palace staff should have paid attention to is the state of the restrooms. I'm horrified to conclude that dingy visitor bathrooms, without a toilet seat and with a broken cistern, are a shameful standard in Italy. Shameful!!!

08/10/2025: The appetizers were good, especially the mussel soup. The fried anchovies were dry and the breading was way too thick. The main course consisted of fried calamari, shrimp, and vegetables—the vegetables were just breaded, with no sauce—just dry. The cod in cream with pesto was okay. We expected much more based on the excellent reviews.

06/10/2025: Beautiful, cozy restaurant. Good service. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Highly recommended. The price/performance ratio was perfect for us.

04/10/2025: The lemon and basil granita is SPECTACULAR! One of the best I've ever tried! Besides being delicious, it's super refreshing, especially after the climb to the village!

03/10/2025: What a treat! I recommend the Basil/Lemon and Crema delle 5 Terre flavors. Beautiful presentation and intense flavors.

11/10/2025: Good ingredients. The first courses are recommended, generous portions, and the fish main courses are excellent.

07/10/2025: It's better to have your shoes on than to have your shoes on

29/07/2025: A very pleasant little restaurant with a magnificent view. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member. The Italian specialties we ate will remain unforgettable. A romantic meal to repeat.

28/07/2025: We came from Sanremo specifically, intrigued by the reviews and our passion for Poggio, but we were disappointed. The lady who takes the orders, besides repeatedly reiterating that the chef was alone in the kitchen, asked us annoyedly if we could order at least two people the same thing. So we agreed to her, and she suggested we share appetizers for two. The fact is, at the end of the day, she charged us 72 euros for four appetizers. The food was excellent, nothing to complain about, but the kitchen was completely disorganized. The carafe wine was terrible at 12 euros for half a liter, so we had to order a bottle. In short, for a modest restaurant, the service was modest, the food good, and the prices were unreasonable. It's a shame, we would have happily been regulars, like we always have been going to Montecalvo. WE STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

22/09/2025: A restaurant worth trying, recommending, and returning to. Nothing is left to chance; the decor is meticulously crafted and elegant. The cuisine is amazing.

31/08/2025: A truly unique experience, excellent food, and fantastic service. Congratulations to everyone.

08/10/2025: A must-see in the Cinque Terre! The service is impeccable 👌 and the food is very good from start to finish. The value for money is much better than most restaurants in the Cinque Terre. The setting is also very cute, a small, friendly room with careful decoration.

06/10/2025: Everything is incredible. I recommend the varied seafood appetizer, unmissable. The service is super attentive. The house wine is excellent; they deserve 10 stars! The waitresses explain everything with incredible patience and excellence.

16/10/2025: Excellent homemade dishes! Amazing octopus starter!

21/09/2025: Fantastic local restaurant. Excellent service and delicious food. Full of Genovese enjoying Sunday lunch.

17/07/2025: Buon caffè ed assortimento x la colazione

28/04/2025: Abundant and delicious aperitif. Plus the lady who served us was friendly and super helpful.

14/10/2025: Hello, Two seafood dishes, grilled vegetables, fries, bread, wine, sparkling water...€85. Very good, Nice setting, Five stars for the atmosphere...we were alone 😉

24/09/2025: Pleasant in the evening despite the lack of view due to the fact that it was dark, the dishes are good. However, there was a long wait between courses, we left before dessert because of the wait in the cold even though we were the last table. The knives were not suitable for shellfish, you had to attack with your fingers but there were no finger bowls.

02/10/2025: If you like thin crust, this is by far the best pizza I've ever had. The toppings are exceptional, it's easy to digest, and Mario (and the entire staff) are always super friendly.

27/09/2025: Excellent pizza! Takeout or dine-in at the bar. Delicious aromas. Friendly service and prices consistent with the quality and service.

23/10/2025: Lightly spiced seafood spaghetti, a true delight, accompanied by a small glass of well-poured white wine. Antipasti: tasty fried anchovies. Server spoke a little French.

23/10/2025: A very nice place, good food and fantastic service

23/09/2025: Very well prepared dish with adequate quantity

09/09/2025: One of Laigueglia's most elegant restaurants. You can reserve a table for a private dinner on the beach.

03/10/2025: Finally, a quiet, open-air restaurant with a lovely patio. The food is carefully prepared, very good, and the dessert is spectacular, featuring a Savonese chinotto compote. The price is fair.

28/09/2025: Good food and beautiful spaces Very friendly staff

17/10/2025: The best pesto, truly! The atmosphere is beautiful and pleasant. The staff is polite, but a bit slow. The quality of the ingredients is sensational. The portions of the main courses could be larger, but nothing that detracts. It's definitely worth it. It's not cheap, but everything is very good.

16/10/2025: Everything was just perfect here: the service, the ambiance, and, of course, the food. Some dishes were even prepared at the table, a feast not only for the taste buds but also for the eyes. A truly successful evening for us!
