I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Liguria

04/10/2025: We'd been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time, but unfortunately it didn't live up to our expectations! We had the tagliatelle with scallops, which was very disappointing. The scallops were frozen, the lemon sauce was nonexistent, and the portions were minimal! The same goes for the glasses of wine, which were minimal. Luckily, the frito misto was good! But honestly, €93 without dessert isn't worth it!

02/10/2025: We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, but chose it because it had a cozy look and well-set tables with white tablecloths and cotton napkins. The menu was varied. Between four of us, we ordered pasta with shellfish, pasta with lobster, meat in pepper sauce, and desserts. Everything was delicious. But the best part was the fish soup—it's the best fish soup I've ever had! The service was fast and pleasant. Thank you!

15/09/2025: HOW TO CATCH A TOURIST! Waiters are ok, location is good, but food is really awful. Pasta Carbonara with some beef (!), and seafood not fresh. To avoid.

05/09/2025: Excellent welcome, good service and friendly and helpful waiters... we ate typical Ligurian dishes... delicious

20/09/2025: Good quality food, informal atmosphere. A fine wine cellar.

17/09/2025: A place dear to my heart. So many memories, so many aromas. Delicious cuisine. Fresh fish served with elegance and passion. The Ligurian-style sea bass with potatoes, olives, and pine nuts is a delight for the palate. If you go to Deiva, this is a must-see.

31/08/2025: Great experience, very good food and excellent service. I recommend it.

30/08/2025: A family-friendly beach club, bustling with young people from morning until late at night. Clean and well-organized. Excellent fried fish for lunch.

11/09/2025: We asked for 4 filled sandwiches in the afternoon at 3 pm and they told us that it was not possible because they had already disinfected the slicer and they close at 8:30 pm.

08/09/2025: Excellent products, poor staff, you order and you don't find what you ordered...

18/08/2025: Excellent lounger and umbrella service. Poor restaurant with prices on par with a Michelin-starred sheik. Seafood tagliolini with no seafood, just one clam and a mussel, the rest just shells. Unfriendly and rude waitress, owner with a nose in the air, and more.

14/08/2025: Excellent hospitality. The facility is complete with every comfort. The food is excellent and varied. Perfect for children and the elderly. I especially noticed the cleanliness. A well-deserved 5 stars.

13/09/2025: The best dinner during short stay in Arenzano. Very swift staff, quite fast service, super taste and presentation. Maybe not as cheap but deserving 5 stars.

12/09/2025: We came to Arenzano this summer because we have a house here... Da Gino restaurant is always a sure thing. Tiziana and Davide never make you miss home; the food is a stunning combination of quality ingredients and meticulous plating. The fish is incredibly fresh and there's always something new on the menu... and the desserts are amazing. Excellent value for money, too. Simona

25/08/2025: Dining at this restaurant was truly a pleasant surprise. The service was perfect: the owner was extremely kind and professional. The traditional Genoese dishes were well-prepared. Highly recommended.

20/08/2025: A rather dated restaurant that needs modernizing, as it's truly unwelcoming: we went on August 19th for lunch, and all the outdoor tables were piled up as if the place were closed, and there were still Christmas baubles on the shelves in the dining room. Even the owner seems fed up with this job: you can tell by the way he runs the business. The menus are old, dirty, and worn; the bar counter and the cash register at the entrance are a complete mess, even when I was there and the only customer. The water served at the table is bottled glass, filled by the restaurant, but from the taste, you'd think the filters hadn't been replaced in years. The food somewhat salvages the overall negative rating, serving decent dishes, though clearly 1980s-inspired. We ordered two appetizers recommended by the host: the dish of the day, octopus carpaccio on a bed of potatoes, and the "mosciame di tonno," a carpaccio of tuna steak preserved in salt, the old Ligurian way. The dishes were good, even if they were arranged in the same way, with the unusual final sprinkling of parsley. Then we ordered two first courses, which didn't convince us at all: spaghetti with clams and bottarga, which had a dark gray sauce on the bottom, with a rather bland flavor; and linguine with swordfish and arugula, where, however, the arugula was completely forgotten, with the usual gray sauce on the bottom of the plate. But what disappointed me most was discovering that the house white wine was "Marche" and not "Ligurian," truly embarrassing.

12/09/2025: Great food, great service, great seating by the harbour. Highly recommend if you’re staying in Portofino.

11/09/2025: It's hard to find place to eat in Portofino. There are just a few restaurants and you do not have any choice, because the choice is limited. This place had the highest rate, so we choose this. What about this trattoria. Nothing special, food quite generous. Another thing you will be charged for water and "coperto", let's call it "service" 4 euro per person.

20/09/2025: I have stayed at Bagni Gallo on and off for the last several years when my schedule allows. This beach club is a premium club offering excellent service. The restaurant at the club serves superb food and drink. The staff is kind, professional and accommodating. I highly recommend spending your days at the beach here.

17/08/2025: Excellent dinner and service, fresh dishes.

13/10/2025: A good seafood restaurant, offering carefully prepared and beautifully presented dishes with excellent fresh fish. The atmosphere is pleasant, right next to the tourist pier. The friendly staff and timely service make for a pleasant lunch.

05/09/2025: The food was really good, and the service was especially excellent :) I highly recommend it!

01/09/2025: The sea view from the balcony was excellent. The cleanliness of the room, however, left much to be desired (when I arrived, I found a lubricating gel under the bed and a razor blade cap in the shower). The owner is kind and helpful. It's a real shame about the lack of cleanliness; otherwise, the property would have been highly recommended. Competitive price.

04/07/2025: Purtroppo esperienza pessima. Risotto scotto e totalmente insapore. Dall'aspetto bello da vedere . Peccato perché era stato consigliato come un ristorante dal risotto fantastico. Da non ripetere.

28/09/2025: Friendly restaurant in a cozy atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of Portofino's main square. We were very well received despite the menu support which could do with a rework, we choose from a plastic card and a little too much chocolate powder on the tiramisu! The experience is nevertheless recommended

21/09/2025: Beautiful restaurant in Portofino! Great atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service. Highly recommended!

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.

08/09/2025: Excellent meat and a very nice place. The only shame is the parking...street parking is very limited!

05/09/2025: Very nice and welcoming place, but lately, the quality of the food has definitely gone down compared to some time ago.
