I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Liguria

11/10/2025: Fantastic Stay at Grand Hotel Portovenere! 🌊 I've just had the most magical 3-night stay at the Grand Hotel Portovenere, and I'm already dreaming of going back! This place is an absolute gem, set in a beautifully restored 17th-century convent right on the water's edge. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their kindness and passion for the region truly made our trip special. The food was a highlight every single day. Dining at the Palmaria Restaurant with its stunning panoramic terrace views was an experience in itself. The cuisine was innovative, fresh, and absolutely delicious—a perfect taste of Liguria! Waking up to the view of the colorful harbor and Palmaria Island from our balcony was unforgettable. The hotel's location is perfect, right in the heart of charming Portovenere and with the ferry to the Cinque Terre literally at your doorstep. If you're looking for a luxurious, romantic, and utterly satisfying escape, look no further. I can't recommend this hotel enough!

14/08/2025: An amazing vacation; calling it a hotel is an understatement given the many activities available thanks to the concierge's invaluable advice. We tried the sunset boat excursion with aperitif and an exclusive boat tour of the Cinque Terre. Needless to say, the location is fantastic for visiting the center and the famous church of San Pietro. Close to excellent restaurants, including the Grand Hotel's own: the Palmaria restaurant. The friendly, helpful staff helped make those days and our stay at the Grand Hotel itself a special memory...thanks again!

25/09/2025: A pleasant location and an interesting set lunch menu: four first courses and four second courses to choose from, with side dishes, water, and coffee included. I ate well and was satisfied, although there's still some room for improvement, such as the service or variety. In any case, I recommend it if you're in the area.

24/09/2025: A surprise. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, tasty and simple dishes. Everything done in the best possible way.

11/10/2025: Small location near the Genoa Aquarium, good food, location in need of renovation, fair price

14/09/2025: We stopped here for lunch after strolling around the harbor. We ordered two regular trofie al pesto. The portions were generous. Excellent value. Fast service. The waiters were helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

09/10/2025: Our friends recommended this place to us. We ordered stuffed mussels, the Nordica pizza, and the panigacci. Everything was excellent, made with fresh, quality ingredients. The next evening... we went back!!!

04/10/2025: I ordered two takeout pizzas and I have to say they were truly excellent, much better than other pizzerias in the area. The ingredients were fresh and of above-average quality. I was also impressed by the organization: the communication between the pizzeria and the order taker via walkie-talkie is an original and effective detail. Congratulations!

31/10/2025: Mainly fish-based dishes, truly exquisite, served with skill in a room with a very beautiful vaulted brick ceiling.

15/10/2025: Best Italian food I try in Italie honestly the pasta homemade the taste so good excellent.

19/09/2025: Excellent lunch with friends. Attentive and meticulous service. Thank you, we'll be back.

19/09/2025: Stunning place on the sea, excellent food and impeccable service, I recommend it to everyone 💯💯💯💯

28/08/2025: Restaurant in a small alley near the port. Very good fish dishes, good quality! The service was very pleasant. The quality/price ratio was very good! Don't hesitate to try this somewhat hidden address!

25/08/2025: Very kind owners, good dishes, excellent fried food

23/09/2025: Perfect service, beautiful room, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, fantastic balcony, and motorcycle parking. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ €85 for the double room 😃 Greetings to the boss 👋

17/09/2025: Very nice and comfortable rooms, breakfast with a wide selection. Very good location, just steps from the sea. Parking is a bit difficult.

19/10/2025: Reservation: We called three times without receiving an answer. Luckily, they called us back and offered us dinner at either Seating 1 (7:30 PM) or Seating 2 (9:00 PM). We chose Seating 1 at 7:00 PM, and over the phone, we were told several times, rather annoyingly, "Please note, the table must be vacated at 9:00 PM sharp," and "Please inform your guests that the table must be vacated at 9:00 PM." Let's just say we didn't get off to the best start when making the reservation. Welcome: We arrived at 7:20 PM. The staff was outside smoking, and they didn't let us in until 7:30 PM sharp. That's no big deal. In the meantime, we read the menu and made up our minds about what to order. Ordering: The girl who came to take our order was very friendly and explained the various options. Service: The guy with the ponytail who brought the hot stone to cook the meat was quite rude: as soon as he arrived, he handed over the stone and warned us not to put oil on it due to the risk of flames/smoke, and so far so good. When I pointed out that the stone was quite black on the surface (in a completely calm and friendly manner), he immediately got annoyed, took the stone back, and went back to the kitchen, cursing things like "let's start the evening off right!" In amazement, we awaited his return with a new stone, and in a snobbish manner, he said, "Is this okay?!" I didn't think the guy's attitude was very nice; he could have handled his frustration differently. The other waitresses, however, were kind. Food: 5 people, we ordered: - Testaroli with oil and cheese - Hunter's menu - Panigacci with prosciutto, stracchino cheese, and vegetables - Baked fish with vegetables - Paccheri with fish sauce - Water Personally, I found the baked fish with vegetables good, perhaps a little too greasy, but overall okay. The panigacci were average, and the prosciutto was good. I can't comment on the other dishes because I didn't try them, but I think the taste of the food was negatively impacted by the service, as the atmosphere at the table was ruined by the waiter's rude attitude. Bill: The cashier was very kind, and we spent about €100, which I think was more or less fair for what we ate. Conclusion: The place has potential, but I don't think we'll return, considering the poor service experience and the rude way we were treated when booking. Sorry, but we're a no-go!

15/10/2025: A very welcoming restaurant in the center of Sarzana. The menu features fish and meat, and the first courses are very good; I struggle to pass up anything. The service is friendly and efficient, and the wait for your food is short. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

11/10/2025: The pasta was a poem and priced just right: the trofie with pesto couldn't have been better; the amatriciana were a pleasant surprise with their spicy flavor. We found the main fish dishes okay, but unfortunately no swordfish or grilled sardines – so this was definitely a disappointment for us. We found the grilled vegetables rather modest, with insufficient quantity. The wine (sparkling wine) was to our liking. We found the service good, but not "exceptional." We felt very comfortable in the restaurant; it was chic, cozy, and bright without being garish.

04/10/2025: Update October 2025: Once again, a very good meal and great service. After the renovation, the ambiance is now also great 👍😀 Friendly, attentive service and delicious food. The bright light somewhat dampens the romance.

12/10/2025: Excellent experience, table in the garden, appetizer with delicious anchovies and equally good pesto lasagna.

12/10/2025: A lovely, quaint trattoria in San Fruttuoso. I had the mussels marinara (flavorful and tasty) and the grilled sea bream (tender and fresh). Considering the area, the price was more than fair. Recommended.

25/10/2025: Very good restaurant, very good and authentic cuisine. The owner is really welcoming.

04/10/2025: Thanks Mario! Everything was super delicious

10/08/2025: “An unforgettable experience! We ate in a truly special place. The atmosphere is magical, with attention to detail, and makes you feel like you're on vacation from the very first moment. The food was simply delicious: fresh dishes, authentic flavors, and meticulous presentation that demonstrates the passion of those who prepare them. The service was attentive and friendly, always with a smile. A place that combines the beauty of the location with the quality of the cuisine... it's impossible not to want to return!”

09/08/2025: Federico and Sara do something that would have been too easy not to do in a mass-tourism destination like Sestri Levante (on the seafront): study, be passionate, research, and continually experiment to offer dishes that, unlike all the others, have new flavors and something to say. Anyone who criticizes the price would be better off going back to a pizzeria or starting to simply distinguish between quality and quantity! Alberto

14/10/2025: Nice clean environment, fast and courteous service, very attentive to various requests. Food in this case excellent pizza and desserts, good and well filled, definitely worth returning to, excellent management which in these times doesn't hurt 💝

07/10/2025: Impeccable! Nothing to complain about! From the food to the atmosphere to the service, everything was perfect. I highly recommend it! ☺️ The staff is so kind!

21/10/2025: In the heart of Alassio, amidst the scent of the sea and the warm light of the Riviera, Sail Inn stands out as one of Liguria's most authentic and refined gastronomic experiences. It's more than just a restaurant: it's a reference point for those seeking cuisine that combines tradition, elegance, and authentic flavors. At the helm is Giampiero Colli, chef and owner, a charismatic and passionate figure who has given the restaurant an unmistakable touch. His cuisine speaks of the sea, the seasons, and raw ingredients: the freshest fish, local ingredients, and a sensitivity that transforms each dish into a story... a journey. Each course is a balance between simplicity and technique, between tradition and innovation. From raw to cooked, nothing is left to chance: every detail reflects the experience and dedication of a chef who lives his craft with genuine passion. The service is attentive and never intrusive, the atmosphere elegant and relaxed, perfect for those who want to savor the true essence of the Mediterranean. Sail Inn is much more than a restaurant: it's a journey through the flavors of Alassio, expertly guided by a man who has made quality and hospitality a true art form... Thank you, Chef Giampiero Mattia

15/10/2025: Greed at the expense of service quality The restaurant is very famous, pseudo-elegant, and expensive, but people likely continue to frequent it for some reason related to the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the owner's desire to never lose a single customer and to always keep tables full with at least two seats per evening completely negates any positive aspects of the culinary quality, replacing them with total disorganization and a lack of respect for the customers. We had a reservation for four people at 9:30 PM and arrived promptly. When we arrived, the waiter asked us to be patient for about five minutes because they were "slightly struggling." We waited 15 minutes and noticed at least a dozen groups in the alley outside who, like us, had reservations but were still waiting for their tables. When we asked the waiter again how much longer we would have to stand, he replied, visibly out of breath, that it would be about another 15 minutes. This meant we'd start eating at 10:00 PM. We would have preferred to leave, but we decided to wait. Very calmly, every now and then someone from the small groups waiting managed to sit down. After the customary 15 minutes, it was 10:00 PM: none of us were still seated. Inside the restaurant, a few people were eating while 70% of the customers were waiting to be served. We waited another 20 minutes—arriving at 10:20 PM—without anyone leaving their tables. Many customers continued to wait for their dishes. At that point, we decided to leave at 10:30 PM, after an hour of pointless waiting. If a restaurant that claims to be elegant and high-end doesn't have the courage to inform customers that they must vacate their tables by a set time—which is in any case unbecoming of the style of a place of this kind—then it shouldn't accept any more reservations. To the owner, I say: since you're not worried about the risk of empty tables due to selfishness and greed, simply not accepting any more reservations would do your reputation much more credit. I'll conclude by reminding you that I used to frequent this restaurant about thirty years ago, but I stopped going because there were already unpleasant service issues back then that kept me away from there ever since.
