I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Liguria

27/08/2025: It's always unpleasant to criticize a restaurant, especially since the people behind it have my respect. However, I'm expressing my opinion to prevent others from falling into the media trap of a high-profile location. We're at Capo Nord, a very renowned restaurant in Santa Margherita Ligure. I expected much more from this place after reading good things, but evidently not all the reviews are truthful, and our experience wasn't a positive one—quite the opposite! The location is beautiful, with tables positioned on a cliff just inches from the clear water and well-lit at night. Unfortunately, the management of the place isn't up to par, and it shows a propensity for tourists from abroad who are unlikely to return. You'd expect to be pampered in a quiet environment, with some attention and no rush, but instead the atmosphere is noisy, with everyone talking too loudly, waiters and customers alike. There are children running between the tables without the owner or the staff saying anything. The menu offers limited choices, at exorbitant prices that seem excessive for what's actually served. Appetizers and first courses range from 35 to 45 euros per dish, with four covers going for 28 euros (cover charges are now obsolete and banned in some regions). Here, however, they serve you a basket of bread with a sliced michetta (I'll leave it to the reader to decide if that's adequate!) The table setting is good, but the cutlery is sparse. The food is good, but considering the prices, one would expect much more. I hope these insights will lead the owners to rethink the service they offer, either by lowering prices or by raising the overall quality. I'll end with a quote that wasn't mine: customers can fire everyone by simply going elsewhere.

25/08/2025: Lovely place, very romantic atmosphere, shame about the food. The fish fillet wasn't fresh and therefore inedible. As for the service, it was friendly but not up to par with the location, even getting the orders wrong. If I may offer one piece of advice, please pay more attention to the preservation of the raw materials and don't offer them unless they're of good quality.

01/09/2025: The atmosphere is as quaint as the town itself. The pizza deserves applause: thin, well-cooked, and, despite the crowds, fast. Compliments to the service...what more can I say? Try it.

18/08/2025: I don't usually write reviews, and in fact, this is probably the first and last I'll ever do, because I also do this job and know what it means to get a bad review despite all the hard work. This is what I got for €40 for a takeaway mixed fried fish. Nothing to complain about the edibility, because fried fish is delicious even if it's stone-thick. What leaves me perplexed is the quantity. For €40, I expected much more than 300g of frozen fish... I'm sorry, because we certainly made a mistake in ordering the mixed fried fish, but that doesn't justify the price.

29/08/2025: Best place in Rimini! Food was delicious, staff very friendly, nice music.

26/08/2025: Too bad, I had high expectations but was disappointed. The lobster was served pre-opened and I couldn't help myself. My table was in the corner, lost around a corner. Too bad. The price/quality ratio was not right.

16/08/2025: We arrived at 9pm and we still have to wait for the pizzas (it's 10:01pm)

07/08/2025: Four of us went to this pizzeria. We had reservations for 8:30 PM. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated. It took over 30 minutes for a waiter to come take our orders, and an hour for the pizzas to be delivered! Moral of the story? Two out of four pizzas had hair on them. Annoyed by the long wait for pizzas with hair on them, I politely told a waitress to report to the kitchen that there were hairs on the pizzas. A waiter then came over and told me to calm down and that it was impossible for hairs to be on the pizzas. So I walked him to the table and showed him, and he apologized. When I told the waiter that there were hairs on the pizzas, he said something to the pizza chef, and the waitress I'd told about the hairs said very annoyed, "I'm going to tell you." So, even more annoyed, I said, "Yes, I'm going to tell you because you work here!" I'd like to tell the waitress to be less rude and to change jobs if she doesn't want to do this job. Never again, terrible experience, 1 star!

12/04/2025: Best pizzas of my life!!! Attentive and kind service even though we don't speak Italian

22/02/2025: Very good wood fired pizza. Highly recommended.

24/08/2025: Everything was really very good, served with a smile, ironed tablecloth, real professionals, that's a change... very reasonable price, we will come back

21/08/2025: Poor quality food, tasteless fish, spoiled side dishes, expensive price!!!

13/09/2025: The seafood is very fresh and delicious, and the service is also very good! Especially the fried seafood, which is very tender!

13/09/2025: Calamari pizza has been phenomenal!

05/09/2025: Terrible food: fried food and pre-cooked and reheated fish entrees, all very greasy. Avoid.

29/08/2025: It was 2:30 p.m. and we couldn't find a restaurant to eat in Imperia because most restaurants close at that time. We asked around, and despite the fact they also closed at that time, they let us eat. The service was attentive and helpful. We ate pasta (for the umpteenth time), and honestly, it was quite good. The restaurant is in the port, right next to the moorings, but it doesn't stand out for anything special.

21/08/2025: Quiet restaurant offering quality products. The salads and spaghetti Bolognese were fine for us in terms of quantity. The prices are a little high, but like everywhere else in Portofino (€118 for 4 people, main course, dessert, and drinks). Very welcoming. The service was very good. There were 8 of us and 2 small dogs.

19/08/2025: Avoid. My partner and I went for lunch. Fish not fresh? The people to our left ordered the fried fish mix we wanted, but when they arrived, there was a strong, unpleasant odor. The neighbors saw our disgusted faces and said, "Do we agree that it stinks?" The waiter brought them a second one after they complained, but the bad smell was still there. This ruined my partner's appetite, so we avoided the fish and seafood dishes. We still ordered a plate of trofie with pesto and a plate of tomato and mozzarella because we were hungry. It was okay, but not worth the price, and we didn't really enjoy eating our meal given the smell in the neighbors' faces. Service needs to be improved. Another negative point: when it came time to pay, the server took my partner's credit card from the table to pay the €61 (which didn't work because for more than €50, he needed the PIN) instead of handing us the terminal. We asked to split it in half, and he kept the card to pay the €30 without showing the amount first. In short, avoid it; it's better to pay more for good food or go to a bakery.

11/09/2025: Very good food! Great service. We had mussels with spaghetti and ravioli with scampi, which were very, very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant. Authentic Italian cuisine.

11/09/2025: Gracie mille, very tasty, good service, nice service, recommended

15/08/2025: The Miramare restaurant is located on the seafront like many other restaurants, with the difference that the outdoor tables have more space, extending all the way to the adjacent square. Once we were seated, the wait staff offered us a substantial off-the-menu option, in addition to the dishes on the menu. The dishes we ate were good, average. One star less for the service because the wait staff became a bit intrusive at times, for example, constantly refilling wine glasses, perhaps even for those who had run out of wine. Speaking of wine, the wine list is decent. The a la carte prices are average for the area. Just be careful with the off-the-menu options, which quickly increase the final bill. Overall, good.

11/08/2025: Everything was very good. When the waterfront is closed to traffic, it's even pleasant. Otherwise, with the cars passing by, it feels like you're at a gas station. Prices are a bit excessive.

17/07/2025: Excellent food, fresh fish and impeccable service

14/07/2025: We spontaneously stopped by for dinner with two children. We received very friendly service. The portions were huge and delicious.

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

29/08/2025: We visited this restaurant around 3:10 PM. We were greeted warmly, quickly given a menu and offered help with choosing dishes and drinks. The menu ranges from pizza, spaghetti to everything and freshly grilled fish. For every taste. We ordered risotto, salmon, oysters, pizza. Everything was very tasty. I accidentally spilled the Aperol Spritz that had just been brought, but the waiters promptly cleared the table and brought a new cocktail. Which was not included in the bill. I highly recommend it.

02/09/2025: A very good meal. Superbly prepared and delicious. Lovely ambiance in a romantic alleyway in San Remo

31/08/2025: An excellent restaurant with very friendly staff and a great selection of wines. The carbonara was perfect, and the fish main course was just as impressive. I can’t recall the name of the strawberry dessert with gelato, but it was outstanding. We enjoyed a warm conversation with the staff and were even treated to a complimentary grappa.

14/04/2025: mi auguro di tutto cuore di tornare al più presto in questo ristorante che in assoluto è il più buono di tutti. Avanti ancora, deliziateci con i vostri bacialli e piatti di pesce isuperabili!
