I migliori ristoranti in Liguria

21/10/2025: We came as a family, and everything had started well with the starters: decent service, without a smile or warmth, but nothing dramatic. However, when the main courses arrived, the nightmare began. I ordered a rare fillet steak, which I received literally raw and inedible, accompanied by four small potatoes. My wife and her mother had pasta with clams: half the shells were empty and the portion was paltry; in three forkfuls, the plate was finished. As for my meat, between the sinews and the undercooking, I had to send it back, simply saying I didn't want any more. A few minutes later, the chef came to my table, visibly annoyed, asking me aggressively, "What's the problem?" I explained it to him calmly, and his only response was, "It will be charged." I told him I didn't want it, and he replied curtly, "I don't care, it will be charged." An arrogant, contemptuous, and completely unprofessional attitude. I concluded by saying to him ironically, "Wow, what a sense of service!" and he dared to sneer back, "Hee hee, I'm scared." This is the first time I've seen such disrespect toward a customer. We will never set foot in that establishment again.

17/10/2025: An absolute must if you are in the area . Location is perfect on the beach. Waiters are charming and efficient. Place is beautiful. The food absolutely fantastic. We had: Seafood and seasonal vegetable vol- au-vents. Not to miss. The umbrine with meltedfennel and citrus sauce . The best fish ever. My wife had a superb beef filet with ginger. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. We will return and send our friends.

31/08/2025: I ordered a four cheese white pizza to go. They were friendly, quick, and reasonably priced for an excellent pizza. Well done.

14/08/2025: Thank you so much for the warm welcome to your restaurant and for the delicious pizzas you prepared for us. We are happy to have discovered the famous Bukowski's!

20/10/2025: It's unfortunate that in 2025, in a restaurant that prides itself on its historic status and serving only quality food, there are serious shortcomings both in transparency of customer communication and in the management of potential—and, I emphasize, human—errors by the staff. Unable to eat certain foods, I asked the lady in charge for clarification regarding the cod frisceu and the Ligurian meatloaf. First slip-up. The cod frisceu, described by the lady as bread and cod fritters, turns out to be battered cod: utterly in the face of Ligurian tradition! Here, we let it slide because we wanted to do anything but start a discussion. The problem, at least for me, comes with the meatloaf. I was told it was made with potatoes and green beans, but it contains mushrooms (completely omitted from the description), which, unfortunately, I can't eat. When we politely pointed out to the lady that this ingredient hadn't been listed, she said, "There are mushrooms, but there aren't many!" There aren't many? What's your answer, dear lady? Have you ever heard of food allergies or intolerances? When we reminded her that they'd explicitly asked her about the ingredients, she, not satisfied with her previous response, added, "Well, I didn't even tell you there were eggs and breadcrumbs. I didn't know the lady couldn't eat mushrooms." Obviously, not a gesture of regret, nor an attempt to apologize or try to correct a "human error." Just a completely passive-aggressive attitude. And, clearly, if it were necessary to make it clear, not even a polite question at the cashier to find out how the dinner went. Dear Gino dal 1910, luckily I won't die if I eat a mushroom, but update me on issues of menu transparency and the possible legal consequences of providing misinformation to customers. There are people more determined than me who might not limit themselves to a review.

19/10/2025: Decent, not a place to remember for the food or anything else. The mixed antipasto was confusing; they didn't even explain what was served. The first course was decent.

06/10/2025: Excellent dinner, appetizer with 6 tastings, very generous spaghetti with gurnard, prosecco 15 euros😃 and limoncello

04/10/2025: I stumbled upon it by chance, but it was a wonderful discovery! Besides the delicious food served in generous portions, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Excellent value, highly recommended!

19/10/2025: We enjoyed a great Ligurian meal at Taverna Mandragola in Cervo, Italy. The linguine and ravioli were freshly made with seafruit and porcini. We also enjoyed the tasty tuna steak and the pesce Spada (swordfish).

17/10/2025: Generous portions, quality food, excellent service, courtesy and kindness (and for Liguria this is not a given), reasonable price

15/05/2025: Wir gehen vom Hafen 10 Minuten zum Lokal. Neben Pasta und Fleischgerichten werden auch Fischgerichte angeboten. Die Unterhaltung auf Englisch funktioniert prima. Es ist ein kleines Restaurant. Das Essen kann im Lokal oder an ein paar Tischen vor dem Lokal (autofreie Zone) eingenommen werden. Die Bestellung wird am Tisch aufgenommen. Das sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Personal bedient uns unverzüglich und berät uns bei der Auswahl der Speisen und Getränke. Wir wählen eine Prosciutto-/Tomatenplatte als Vorspeise. Dazu einen Roséwein. Als Hauptgericht gibt es Tortellini in einer Pesto-/Nusssoße. Zum Nachtisch gibt Tiramisu und einen Espresso. Alles ist gekonnt zubereitet und schmeckt köstlich. Wir können das Lokal ausdrücklich empfehlen. Es ist ein wunderschöner Ort zum entspannten Verweilen. Danke an das Personal für den sehr guten Service.

01/05/2025: Tengo celíacos y al llegar al restaurante me informaron inmediatamente que solo usan harina de arroz. Pedí un curso de pescado que era absolutamente delicioso. El pescado estaba perfectamente cocinado. Mi hija, que es vegetariana, también disfrutó mucho de su comida. Además de la buena comida, el servicio también fue excelente.

06/10/2025: We had a wonderful time at Clapsy Sanremo. The Italian dishes are delicious and prepared with quality ingredients, all with a beautiful sea view. The service is attentive and efficient. A big thank you to David, our server, for his warm welcome and attentiveness throughout the meal.

30/09/2025: I ate a burger and it was good...

20/07/2025: Da vittoria si va per mangiare funghi pesto e coniglio alla ligure . Se cercate cibo raffinato passate oltre e una trattoria dove ancora si mangia benissimo e si spende poco.

19/04/2025: A trattoria with many years of experience, very popular during lunchtime. Despite having been coming here for many years, I've unfortunately noticed a recent reduction in the number of dishes available, meaning fewer options are available (only two first courses, only two second courses/side dishes, etc.). It's also important, especially if you're a newbie, to keep in mind that the workers' menu isn't always available, and not for everyone. For example, despite not having anything special for lunch, we were charged à la carte for everything, including water (the prices, however, were absolutely acceptable and not inappropriate, given that the food was genuine and handcrafted). The service is a bit rushed and sometimes sketchy. The restaurant has limited seating, so reservations are recommended, even if you're just a few people.

21/08/2025: What can I say... a wonderful experience! We chose this place for my birthday dinner. Every detail was taken care of, from the table settings to the service, which was attentive and friendly, but not intrusive. The dishes were all excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail and the execution of a small birthday cake. They were happy to accommodate every request (even to prepare a risotto for just one person). The location and the view were a real plus. Highly recommended.

03/08/2025: A huge disappointment. The menu, priced between €135 and €180 per person, suggests a true gastronomic experience—unfortunately, this isn't the case. If you have a minimally discerning palate, you'll quickly realize that everything here is about appearances without delivering the quality behind it. The flavor combinations are often shaky, lacking in finesse, and sometimes downright bad. It's a far cry from what you'd expect from an establishment billed as gourmet. The first small restaurant in the area does much better, for a fraction of the price. None of the dishes stood out, and some were bordering on boring, even subpar. The service, however, was adequate—professional without being exceptional. In short, avoid.

12/10/2025: Hands down, the best kebab in Genoa! 🥙 I often come here for lunch with my colleagues. The owner is very kind and friendly, the service is excellent, and the meat is amazing. Highly recommended ✨️

19/09/2025: Really good food, the place is beautiful and the service is spectacular (my trusted kebab shop)

10/10/2025: Great experience, the food was delicious

04/10/2025: Poor quality food and unpleasant service

04/09/2025: An incredible place to have pinse ! The food was amazing, the atmosphere and the people running the place as well. Would recommend to anyone visiting Sestri Levante

17/08/2025: Amazing place! The staff is super friendly, the service is perfect, and the pizza is so tasty! I couldn’t believe how fast they made it – ready in only 10 minutes. Definitely coming back

05/11/2025: My husband and I ate here on our first night in Monterosso on October 27, 2025 and we both agreed that it was the best food we have ever had. We ordered the baked sea bass and it was beyond amazing. It was simple as far as preparation, but the flavors were complex and the fish cooked to perfection. The young man who deboned our fish at table side was so very sweet and quite good at his task. If we ever are lucky enough to return to Italy, Ristorante Ciak will be on our must visit list.

31/10/2025: We stayed in Monterosso twice over the past few years and ate at Ciak every night. The food, service and atmosphere is amazing.

24/08/2025: I tried the Recco-style focaccia here. It was delicious, and after trying the original, I think it's pretty close. I really liked it. The dough is very thin, and the cheese ratio is perfect. A slice cost me €3.20. The staff isn't super friendly, but they aren't unfriendly either. They have many types of focaccia.

12/08/2025: Excellent focaccia. Despite the low price, given that we were eating it there, they added some tomatoes and olives to the dish.

03/10/2025: This place is fantastic. Lots of courtesy, professionalism with good food and background music. Ideal for an aperitif. I recommend it, a beautiful and relaxing place. TOP

08/08/2025: Everything was perfect, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the quality of the bioches and cappuccino was excellent, and the decor was elegant. Fair prices, highly recommended for a good breakfast!
