I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Imperia

19/07/2025: Very nice restaurant. Excellent service and good advice. The waitress was knowledgeable about gluten intolerance and was able to recommend gluten-free dishes. The menu features many regional specialties, such as snails and rabbit. The mashed potatoes were superbly seasoned (with pesto?), and I'll order it again next time. The beef was very tender and delicious.

15/07/2025: Great location, fantastic setting, excellent and very attentive service. The food quality is top-notch. We'd gladly return.

09/08/2025: Very good value for money. A wonderful evening!

04/08/2025: The pizzas and regional wine are excellent 🤩 We even got a table without a reservation 👍

17/08/2025: Excellent food, not to mention the staff for their professionalism and kindness. The owners' friendliness is perfect. Beautiful evening! Silvana and Paolo Dassetto.

10/08/2025: Very good Italian restaurant for fish,

31/08/2025: To make amends, I wasn't very familiar with Lavina, a hamlet in Rezzo, even though I'm from Imperia. It's a beautiful village crossed by the Arroscia stream. The restaurant itself represents the local area 100%, with typical Ligurian dishes (e.g., rabbit and snails). The food is excellent, and the service is good. The restaurant itself isn't particularly vibrant; it could be better. However, the quality/price ratio is top-notch.

29/08/2025: The staff is quite friendly, very discreet, and the owner is very helpful. I bought her book, which is definitely expensive for a notebook, but she never refuses to help someone who writes about themselves. The food is good, like eating at home, simple and quite refined. The snails, which were supposed to be the star dish, aren't special, but in my opinion they're neutral; they should be tastier, more personalized in their flavor. Certainly, given the context—a beautiful day that I'll repeat—these are places that shouldn't disappear, and perhaps opening in the evening wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

20/08/2025: A little place by the sea, delicious dishes, and very kind and helpful staff, if you pass by it is worth it

20/08/2025: We stopped by chance but were pleasantly satisfied! We stayed in Sanremo for 3 days and booked for all three nights - the food and service were excellent 👍

06/08/2025: I'm in love with Imperia. Like every year, almost like a ritual, I have to go to Lanterna Blu to relive the same experience that has been with me since I was a child. La Lanterna Blu isn't just a restaurant; it's the symbol of this beautiful province. It's a magical place characterized by an elegant, distinguished, clean, and comfortable setting. Max makes you feel right at home, from the moment you greet him to when you leave. But let's move on to the dishes. What can I say? They're in keeping with the location and could sum it all up in one word: "Quality." The catch of the day I ate was sublime; the ingredients were fresh and served with care and elegance, the attention to the customer and their needs was attentive, and the wine list was vast. All these qualities should be taken for granted, but unfortunately, these days, they're not easy to find in the restaurant world. In short, maybe it's just me who has a soft spot for this place, but it's definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the area. See you soon, Max.

30/06/2025: For my birthday party, a great welcome, excellent dishes, impeccable service, all in delicacy, the excellent wines were also included in the price of the menu, a magnificent setting, everything contributed to making this evening a magical moment! Thank you for this beautiful evening

06/07/2025: Good morning, I do not agree with some reviews read even very negative, the pizza Excellent as the service and the friendliness ... it is true that the place is located below street level but it is welcoming and very pleasant even if a little narrow ... I do not agree with those who wrote that there is no air circulation, the place is air conditioned and we were fine. Last note: after 8.00 pm last night there was a queue in the street to get in 😏 ... I recommend !!!

29/06/2025: Burnt focaccia..and that's already bad!!!! It's useless to give the 3 euro discount, it's terrible, in fact the little bit of not burnt that I ate was not well leavened dough! I make pizzas..and believe me that 24 hours of leavening make the difference!

19/08/2025: I've been frequenting this osteria in Ventimiglia for years, and each time it surprises me with the same reassuring quality. It's one of those rare places where you immediately feel at home, thanks to an authentic, warm, and relaxed atmosphere, where time seems to slow down. The real star, however, is the spaghetti allo scoglio. A dish that might seem unpredictable elsewhere, here is an absolute certainty: fragrant, balanced, rich in flavor and seafood. The pasta is always al dente, the sauce enveloping, with the freshest seafood that expresses all the generosity of the Mediterranean. It's the classic dish I order every time, and every time it reminds me why I keep coming back. The courtesy of the service is another reason why this osteria deserves all its stars. The staff is always smiling, attentive but never intrusive, ready to offer expert and helpful advice. You can sense a genuine passion for hospitality, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. In a world of copycat restaurants, this place remains a staple, a haven for those seeking authentic cuisine and a sincere welcome. Highly recommended for those who love good food and simplicity done well.

17/08/2025: This is my second time eating here, and I've had a great experience. The table service and speed of delivery are a bit lacking, but the quality is good. Prices are average. One bonus is that you can eat indoors in the air conditioning, which is a plus on hot days, given that there are often no cool places in the area.

20/08/2025: There were 8 of us in this restaurant which seemed okay to us according to the reviews. What a disappointment!!! A very nice waiter, however, half an hour of waiting for a "burata" dish with 1 tomato cut into four and a ball of Burata taken out of the bag and placed on the tomatoes without seasoning, a Milanese escalope arrived 10mm later while everyone was served and without presentation, without lemon etc.. inedible gnocchi etc... Apart from the Sicilian tuna which was okay. Very disappointed despite a picturesque setting and correct reviews. To top it all off, a hefty bill with a mini scoop of lemon ice cream at €7.50 and the bourata at €16, scandalous.

20/08/2025: Ordered: Buffalo tomatoes Received An unripe tomato cut into quarters with a scoop of buffalo tomatoes. No olive oil. No basil. The dish that must have cost them 1 euro. Sold: 16 euros

10/08/2025: Everything was simply top-notch. Excellent food and service that, unfortunately, isn't found everywhere else in Italy. The best restaurant of our entire vacation in Liguria.

09/08/2025: The restaurant serves pretty good Italian cuisine, with fresh pasta and pleasant flavors. The atmosphere is friendly and the service is decent, if a little slow at times. On the other hand, the prices are really excessive for what's served: the portions are modest and the bill mounts up quickly. A decent experience overall, but the value for money leaves something to be desired.

20/08/2025: Fantastic evening, with excellent food

15/08/2025: As always... hospitality, courtesy, and professionalism. Thanks to Vladimiro & family

12/08/2025: The place offers an unprecedented view and tranquility, immersed in pure nature. The rooms are rustic, clean, charming, and well-kept, equipped with TV and air conditioning. Parking is, of course, not a problem. The owners, who manage not only the B&B but also the surrounding land, offer a breakfast entirely prepared by them: the food is, in fact, entirely homemade and delicious. In the evening, you can enjoy a beautiful starry sky. One note: if you want to get there, be prepared for a half-hour of rough roads with curves (sometimes dangerous) and climbs. But it's worth it. Recommended!

05/08/2025: A very friendly accommodation surrounded by nature. The owners are very friendly and attentive. The room is clean and cozy. Dinner and breakfast were spectacular, all homemade with products they grow themselves and prepared with great care. A delight! 100% recommended.

03/09/2025: Excellent restaurant! The seafood risotto was delicious, perfectly cooked and very tasty. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

03/09/2025: The food is incredible, full of flavor, the plates are well filled to the brim, superb service and atmosphere, prices perfectly suited to the quality, I recommend it to everyone!

17/07/2025: Vom Aperol bis zum Dessert ein sensationelles Erlebnis. Gestartet mit einem feinen Amuse Bouche, gefolgt von drei hervorragenden Gängen. Zum Abschluss ein Digestif aufs Haus und ein kleines Geschenk. Sehr zuvorkommender Service und traumhafte Lage über dem ligurischen Meer.

16/07/2025: Location consigliata da una spiaggia di Sanremo ( ahimè pessimo consiglio). Location tipica di ristorante cinese all you can eat di Milano con l unica differenza in esposizione una bottigliera da locale notturno. Esperienza culinaria pessima ( napulè al porto vecchio in confronto ha 3 stelle Michelin) primi molto basilari e privi di gusto, mare in vapore pessimo. Avevamo aspettative positive siamo usciti molto delusi da non tornarci mai più. Sconsigliato per gli amanti del mare e del buon gusto con prezzi da ristorante e cucina da trattoria scadente. Servizio buono camerieri molto cordiali. EVITATE DI ANDARCI PER GUSTARVI IL MARE! Questa location andrebbe bene per gli amanti dell american bar NON RISTORANTE!

05/09/2025: Ligurian rabbit was very tasty, so was the Tagliatelle with fish ragout. Perfect ambience as well.

16/08/2025: The gamberi carpaccio starter was truly extraordinary. The primi piatti were more disappointing. The service was a bit slow.
