I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Liguria

03/07/2026: This evening, my wife and I spent a wonderful evening at the El Billi restaurant in Sanremo. A simple, relaxed evening, but one that was truly special thanks to the hospitality, the service, and above all, the food we were served. We ordered two truly extraordinary Cappon Magro. As a Ligurian by birth, I can honestly say that at El Billi, you can enjoy one of the best Cappon Magro on the Western Riviera. Carefully prepared dishes, authentic flavors, attentive service, and a truly wonderful welcome. Heartfelt compliments to all the staff. *Five well-deserved stars.* Roberto

01/07/2026: Some Restaurants Serve Food. Others Create Memories. 🇮🇹 For me, El Billie is the ultimate Italian restaurant and pizzeria. I have known Billie for more than ten years, and one thing has never changed: his smile, his passion, and his genuine hospitality. Every visit feels like coming home. Whether it's a perfectly baked pizza, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare, tender octopus, or a beautifully grilled seafood platter, the kitchen delivers outstanding quality every single time. What impresses me just as much is the atmosphere behind the scenes. Billie treats his team with respect, and you can feel it immediately. The staff are engaged, motivated, attentive, and proud of what they do. Great leadership always reaches the customer. El Billie has never disappointed me—except on the rare occasion when I arrived and found the door closed. One recommendation: reserve your table in the evening. The restaurant is just as popular with locals as it is with visitors. Maybe I'll see you there. Buon appetito! 🍕🍝🇮🇹

24/07/2026: Good food and very friendly staff too

24/07/2026: A must-see in Spotorno: the food here is good and the price is fair. Among the dishes we absolutely recommend are the fried calamari and the penne with salmon (these are divine!). The pizza is good, very large, and well-topped (also available for takeout). The only downside: you can't reserve, there's a line outside, and those who eat outside have to eat among the people waiting for their table. Also, the waiters outside are slower to bring drinks and take orders. Otherwise, it's a good place if you want to eat well and spend a fair amount.

09/06/2026: The pizzas were okay, but nothing more. The appetizer (fish) was good. Unfortunately, the appetizer and main course were served at the same time. The service and everything else was good.

28/05/2026: We recently visited this restaurant and were left with a rather mixed impression. The food was decent, but didn't really impress us or stand out from other restaurants. The taste was solid, but nothing memorable. What did bother us, however, was the value for money. The prices are noticeably above average, and for that price, we expected significantly higher quality or at least something special. The service was friendly and the atmosphere pleasant, so overall the visit wasn't bad – but considering the price, we would probably choose an alternative next time.

29/05/2026: We only had a small drink there, but the setting is magnificent. The service was pleasant.

23/05/2026: Great food. Great View, friendly staff. What else could anyone ask for?

23/04/2026: I was satisfied as every time I went there, spending little and eating well (I went on Thursday for lunch)

06/04/2026: We arrived without a reservation on our return to Venice. We knew the place and wanted to return, hoping for luck at finding a table and bringing our friends... Very kind lady. Fast and helpful service... Excellent food... homemade... The tortellini in broth... the trio of first courses... you can tell everything is homemade... from the pasta to the sauce... the lamb and the beef steak were superb (finally meat that tastes like meat... super flavorful). We also took home the pesto they made because it was excellent... thank you so much for your kindness. A big hug and see you soon 💪💪

09/06/2026: The highlight of an exceptional day trip. I caught a traghetto from Camogli in the sparkling blue Ligurian Sea, dropping me off at the small dock next to the large sign reading "TRATTORIA." Calling ahead for a reservation, I was seated at a lovely table right at the water. The service was exceptional! Everyone friendly. The owner even introduced me to another table of people who shared my Italian mother's maiden name! The pesto was outstanding, as it should be in the Genoa region. The fish and roe main dish was worth celebrating. A tasty gelato dessert and the obligatory caffe. The meal was leisurely, all the time listening to the lapping of waves against the solid rocks. Having indulged in an amazing dinner, I decided to take the hike back to Camogli (a 1500 ft rise with countless steps) which went through several towns and amazing views, powered by a great meal beforehand!

01/06/2026: A restaurant not to be missed!! Excellent!

10/07/2026: I chose this restaurant on a whim, because it felt right, and they had pasta alle vongole on the menu, exactly what I was in the mood for. So delicious, truly incredible. I would order a second one in a heartbeat. Very good beer beforehand, and a fine white wine during the meal, which I let them choose. Perfect espresso afterwards. Happy happy happy.

01/07/2026: Extremely kind, friendly, and welcoming. The food was excellent and the portions were more than generous. Highly recommended!

31/05/2026: A truly lovely setting, under the olive trees, with very kind and friendly waitresses. The dishes are delicious and carefully prepared! Highly recommended.

29/05/2026: Delicious food! Friendly, multilingual service! It couldn't be better!

16/07/2026: Very good pizza, owners not very friendly, they refused a reservation on Saturday because they "were unable to serve us given our needs" (pizza with little tomato, among other things for health reasons, or with salami undercooked). It's a shame they've lost some regular customers even on the quieter winter evenings. So 2 stars and I won't be returning.

07/07/2026: hands down the best authentic food you will get in rapallo. this place was suggested by locals so we gave it a shot, and the food was so comforting that we kept coming back for dinner for our entire stay. it’s not pretentious, just fresh, flavorful, and simple food that satisfies ur hunger after a day at the beach. we highly recommend the risotto w seafood, grilled fish, and soufflé. they have a HUGE selection of pizza which are amazing! superb food and atmosphere, definitely will come again when in town :)

03/06/2026: Unfortunately, our impression that foreign guests pay different prices or receive different service was confirmed. Three beers ended up costing €24, and drink prices weren't listed anywhere on the menu. We ordered the Ligurian-style fish twice, but each time we only received one medium-sized grilled fish, without tomatoes or olives as described on the menu. When we asked if it was indeed Ligurian-style and if it was really a portion for two people, we were simply told "yes." In the end, we received a €6 discount for the missing olives, but we were charged a hefty €50 for the two fish (which was only one fish) – a real shame, as the appetizers were delicious and reasonably priced. We wonder how things would have gone if we had asked about prices and portion sizes in detail beforehand.

24/05/2026: Very kind and professional, excellent fish dinner, the fish soup one of the best I've ever had. For lunch, the fixed-price menu was very good.

29/06/2026: It just wasn't what I expected so I can't give it a higher rating.

28/06/2026: Outdoors, under the pergola, or indoors—the choice is yours. A warm welcome, excellent service, and friendly staff. Generous portions of very good quality food at reasonable prices. On Sundays, the tasting menu is mandatory and well worth the trip. Don't eat bread, or you won't finish! Parking available in front. Great!

04/07/2026: We went for my son's birthday. Excellent food. Fantastic staff. Super fast service. We didn't even notice it was past midnight. The food was plentiful. There was on-street parking in front of the restaurant. What can I say? Highly recommended. Thanks guys. Thanks to the owners.

15/05/2026: We ate picanha, it was very good quality, thank you, see you next time.

05/07/2026: One of our favorites in the valley for many years. Super welcoming, you immediately feel at home, and both the pizza and the food are always excellent.

27/06/2026: A typical restaurant in the Imperia hinterland. Fresh and clean. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent food and excellent value. The pizza is thin and crispy, with a nice topping. There's no service charge or cover charge; you only pay for what you consume. Highly recommended!!!
