I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Liguria

05/01/2026: Two portions of trofie with pesto to go cost €30. It weighed 200 grams at most, and was enough for an adult. It's overpriced considering there's no service.

03/01/2026: If you’re looking for a home cooked Ligurian meal where the owners take care of you from the minute you enter, this is your place. Food is delicious, service is impeccable and you better make a reservation because our dinner was great! There’s also a great wine store right next-door. Stopped there first for some tastings and great small gift ideas!

12/01/2026: The food is incredible! We were a group of nine adults and everyone was delighted with the food, the exceptional service, and the authentic atmosphere—no frills or gimmicks, everything was super authentic, even the drinks. We came here thanks to the reviews we read, and I can't thank them enough. When I return to Genoa, I'll definitely be back! 🥰

06/01/2026: The pesto ravioli was delicious, the waiting time was quick, there was plenty of space to eat inside, but the waitress was probably already bored with tourists compared to other places, which definitely discourages me from returning.

14/01/2026: Excellent experience, back two nights in a row. We went to this restaurant two nights in a row, and that's no coincidence. The service was truly impeccable: attentive, friendly, and never intrusive. The dishes are excellent, carefully crafted, and made with quality ingredients. You're happy to eat from start to finish, without any fuss. The bill was also absolutely fair for what you get, which isn't always a given. Overall, a restaurant that works, where you feel good and want to return. Highly recommended.

08/11/2025: Lunch break after visiting the town. Excellent food, friendly and fast young staff, stunning views. I enjoyed sampling their homemade olive oil at the start of lunch. Well done.

30/12/2025: Seafood cuisine and friendly service. Also try their delicious sailor's bread!

25/10/2025: Personally, my wife and I were satisfied. The atmosphere is a bit retro, like an 80s trattoria, but clean and welcoming. These are the environments that make you feel at ease, and I love them. The food is excellent, in fact, superb! I had the handmade trofie with pesto and potatoes. Truly delicious!!! The owner is also welcoming and kind. The service is fast and efficient. The price is good and in line with the offerings. I'll be back as soon as I can.

17/11/2025: This was our second visit, and we loved it both times. The food is absolutely delicious, and the dishes arrive one after the other without any waiting. A variety of appetizers, pasta, a main course, and dessert, including water and wine, are all included in the price. I took a few pictures of the food (not all of the dishes). We also really appreciate that dogs are allowed. We will definitely be back.

26/10/2025: The fixed menu features fresh fish, delicious appetizers, first and second courses, a jug of wine and water included, and the young woman serving us was friendly and professional. The owner, also attentive to his customers, kindly offered us a second serving of mussels. The restaurant is on the waterfront, with street parking.

06/01/2026: Excellent dishes at reasonable prices: a round of applause for the courtesy of all the staff.

03/01/2026: Family dinner after a lovely stroll along the seafront. Excellent food, courteous and attentive waiters. I highly recommend it.

30/11/2025: We loved it! We stumbled upon this restaurant completely by chance, and what a great find! The menu had some lovely options, the dishes were delicious, and the price was excellent. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

30/11/2025: Quintessenza Restaurant is one of those places where you sit down and immediately understand that the food is at the center of everything. The setting is refined but not overbearing, with a relaxed atmosphere that lets you enjoy dinner from start to finish. The dishes are truly excellent: elegant presentations, fresh ingredients, and well-thought-out pairings. Each course delivers clean, balanced flavors, and you can taste the work behind them. The dishes are carefully prepared, and the quality is consistent from the first to the last. It's one of those restaurants where it's hard to choose what you liked best because everything is just right. And even though it's always crowded, you can still chat comfortably and enjoy the evening. The kindness of the staff is another strong point: welcoming, smiling, and present without being intrusive. They explain the dishes calmly and follow the pace of the dinner well. Overall, it's a restaurant worth a visit in Sanremo: excellent cuisine, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes the evening special.

21/12/2025: We had lunch here for the second time. The food was delicious, the welcome was excellent and not at all predictable. The staff were kind and professional. A special mention goes to the waiter Victor and the owner, who is always friendly. Thank you for your hospitality. See you next time!

15/12/2025: Good morning, we had lunch on Sunday afternoon, and the food was delicious and delicious. Everything was delicious. My compliments to Salvatore and his staff. We'll be back.

25/12/2025: An absolute standout - this restaurant delivers excellence in every detail, from the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the impeccable service that makes you feel genuinely cared for. The food is outstanding, with beautifully presented dishes bursting with flavor and made from clearly high-quality ingredients, each bite reflecting real passion and skill in the kitchen. It’s a blend of traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist that truly elevates the experience. It’s the kind of place that turns a simple meal into a memorable experience, and one I’d return to without hesitation. Most importantly, this is a family establishment, run by a family for generations, providing the warmth that only a genuine establishment can have. Definitely worth a visit!

21/12/2025: A unique experience! Delicious seafood and meat dishes, and the desserts were delicious too!!! Congratulations, I'll definitely be back.

05/01/2026: The food was incredibly basic… tasteless. The waitresses were unfriendly and gave us dirty looks for not ordering more.

04/01/2026: Highly recommended Excellent raw materials treated with respect Everything delicious

31/12/2025: A delicious family lunch, a great find for a nice lunch in Chiavari. The service was friendly, attentive, unobtrusive, and fast. All the dishes were excellent; the capon magro was delicious. We ordered the tagliolini with rossetti and artichokes, a real treat, off the menu. The stuffed pasta was also very tasty. Excellent value for money.

25/12/2025: I didn't mean to write a negative review, but after dining at this restaurant with friends, we had food poisoning for 3 days straight, which ruined our Christmas holidays and holiday plans. The dish that made us sick was their signature dish: Cappon magro, which was made with less-than-fresh ingredients. After alerting the restaurant of what had happened and asking them to review the ingredients to prevent anyone else from getting sick, I was told to be careful with my words and that it could have been something else that made us sick because they only use fresh ingredients (???). My intention was just to give a warning, but when they hung up on me and after all the days of feeling sick, I decided to write this review as a warning to anyone who decides to order that dish. Other than that, nothing to say, excellent service, and the other dishes were okay. I repeat, my call was just a warning. I would have been happy to hear that they would check the ingredients instead of being mocked and receiving a 'Merry Christmas' followed by the phone being slammed down in my face after feeling terrible for days.

02/01/2026: Pizzeria and restaurant in the pedestrian center of Diano Marina. If you want to avoid waiting in line, get there early, as they don't take reservations. Excellent pasta dishes and pizza. Quick service and friendly staff. You can eat inside or outside.

13/12/2025: Friday evening, pizzeria open, found by chance. Very good pizzas, fast service, very friendly staff, reasonable prices considering its proximity to the center. The atmosphere is "spartan," but given the advantages listed above, it's worth overlooking. Recommended.

30/12/2025: Tiny place with a strong smell of fried food. You have to wait in line, and I understand why. It's because there are so few tables, the tap water is uncapped, and you pay extra for non-tap water, and even coffee isn't included in the menu. The owner wasn't very friendly. The food was terrible, and the place wasn't well-ventilated. A bad experience. The owner was very haughty and rude. Fly down.

20/12/2025: Very good! Traditional Genoese food, especially fish. Seating is difficult to find; reservations are required.

16/01/2026: Beautiful seaside venue, excellent food and a very respectable wine cellar. Alex and his staff are always top notch.

19/10/2025: charming atmosphere, menu focused on the local fish, great knowledge of wines

14/10/2025: Stayed this summer, a charming place with meticulous attention to detail, a suite with a sea-view hot tub and breathtaking views. The breakfasts were generous and made with freshly picked produce. Kudos to Manuela, who took such great care of us. The garden is very well-kept; these past few days we've seen the passion of the gardener, a charming man with a Tuscan accent. In short, a place to unwind and be pampered by nature, relaxation, and Manuela's attention. Highly recommended!

12/10/2025: Magical place. Unrivaled service. Authentic products. Top hospitality.
