I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Liguria

02/06/2026: This restaurant is about 400 meters from the sea. It's nice on the outside, but not so much inside. Good pasta, excellent pesto. Service is a bit slow. Friendly staff. Parking is available nearby on the street.

25/05/2026: Good pizzas, for me, lactose intolerant, there was no mozzarella, but they satisfied me anyway and I liked it

17/07/2026: Everything was delicious! From the appetizers to the main courses! But a special shout-out goes to the guy who made his coffee with tattoos! I'll be back soon.

27/06/2026: La Darsena, in Sarzana, was a pleasant discovery: solid, flavorful, yet meticulously prepared seafood. I ordered scialatielli with mussels and roasted octopus on creamed potatoes: fresh fish, flavorful dishes, that distinct sensation of "feeling the sea." The ravioli with pesto and calamari chosen by my companion were also very successful: a truly surprising dish, balanced and intense. The girls ordered two thin-crust pizzas, with excellent dough and flavorful, non-standard toppings. In the glass, a Cinque Terre DOC 2022 from Terenzuola: straw yellow, a fine, marine profile, with notes of citrus, yellow fruit, Mediterranean herbs, and a lovely savory edge. On the palate, it's fresh, vertical, and mineral, perfect for accompanying fish dishes without overpowering them. Overall, a dinner that demonstrated a high level of quality, both in the quality of the ingredients and in the preparation. A special mention also goes to the staff: kind, attentive, and discreet. A decidedly positive experience.

13/06/2026: Update: the manager pulled me aside for a chat. It was strange but at least showed he very much cared. I’ve updated my rating as such, but maintain that you are paying essentially double what you might elsewhere, for the view. If you’re happy to do that, you’ll be happy here. Beyond the genuinely stunning views, this place is really nothing special. The rooms are very basic, but they’re charging a premium price for what’s outside the window. The maid and cleaning service is great (but be warned laundry is very expensive though that’s not uncommon). It’s all just adequate. Not really any particularly special amenities. Not carefully designed (at least compared to many other hotels I’ve stayed at in the country). Very spotty WiFi which I thought was just the area but the public WiFi worked better in Monterosso. The parking was a nightmare and they do not provide useful instructions for finding it. If this was a $300-$400 a night hotel, it would be perfect; but it’s a $700-$800 a night hotel and is thus in my opinion, overpriced. If you plan on exploring the area, you can get the same views for free (or even for dinner) and skip the hefty price tag. Regarding staying in Portovenere. It’s beautiful, obviously. Stunning. As are the other 5 cities and at least 2 have a bit more going on and a lot more convenience. Portovenere is near impossible to get to after 9pm (for the price, it would be ideal if the hotel would offer some sort of shuttle service even for an extra cost). It’s clearly a perfect city for weekenders looking to escape most of the tourism (though a surprising amount still exists here). But maybe not for first-timers to the area looking to explore. Overall, fine hotel, but it just isn’t bringing the value it requests.

07/06/2026: We spent two days in Portovenere and on Sunday we needed luggage storage: the only service in town wasn't available. We asked the Grand Hotel for a favor—aware that it doesn't officially offer storage—simply because, with two backpacks, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the day at the beach. After several initial refusals, we managed to convince the staff that they would hold our bags for a few hours. At that point, however, the response was: "Okay, we'll do it for you, but only if you leave us 50 euros." This request, we consider excessive for a temporary and unscheduled favor, was striking. Besides the disproportionate price, we were struck by the total lack of courtesy: we would have expected at least a helpful and understanding attitude toward two tourists who simply wanted a morning on the beach.

20/07/2026: Terrible experience, I do not recommend

17/07/2026: Pizzeria restaurant, friendly staff, and quick service. The food is generous and tasty. Prices are average for Pietra Ligure. The decor is a bit dated, but the place is reasonably clean. All the dishes served were delicious.

25/03/2026: I took two guests for a mussel lunch, but their expectations were completely dashed. The spaghetti with mussels was disjointed: a simple garlic and oil pasta with shells on top, lacking any consistency or seafood flavor. The stuffed mussels, however, were unbalanced: the flavor of the mortadella and stale bread completely overpowered that of the molluscs. The icing on the cake was the owner's lack of professionalism, who even dared to comment on a stain on the tablecloth. The price was decidedly excessive for the quality. Highly not recommended.

18/03/2026: Unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant was decidedly negative. The staff was unfriendly and unwelcoming, creating an unpleasant atmosphere right from the start. As for the food, the mussels were truly disappointing: very small and with an unpleasant odor that left one wondering about their freshness. The overall quality wasn't up to expectations, and one suspects they might have been cheaply sourced, perhaps even from abroad. Overall, an experience I wouldn't recommend and am unlikely to repeat.

29/05/2026: Very nice hotel, superb location with sea view, welcoming staff

31/03/2026: THE PIZZA WAS GOOD, THE WAITER OR MANAGER TREATED HIS KITCHEN COLLEAGUES VERY BADLY IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS. THAT'S WHY I WON'T GO BACK

25/01/2026: Return of the historic management.. I had a good time.. excellent food.. speed and courtesy.... Recommended

13/07/2026: nice location, good restaurant, average prices

05/07/2026: I came to eat with my daughter and two dogs. Upon arrival, we asked for a table on the terrace, but were told there were no more seats available. We were then seated inside. However, shortly after, we saw several people arrive without a reservation and be seated on the terrace. We felt somewhat neglected, which is regrettable. As for the meal, my daughter's pesto pasta was excellent, truly delicious. My spaghetti alle vongole was also very good and well-prepared. However, the portion was far too small: there were barely ten clams on the plate, which is disappointing for this dish. The waiter, who spoke French, was very professional, friendly, and attentive. On the other hand, the owner's attitude made us feel like mere tourists, which somewhat spoiled our experience. It's a shame, because the quality of the food is there, but the welcome and the management of the terrace seating left us with a bitter taste.

28/06/2026: Location with a wonderful view... the food could be a little better! Interesting menu, but dishes lack flavor!

26/06/2026: Delicious traditional Ligurian food, super friendly service, stunning location with a panoramic sea view, and located in one of Italy's most beautiful villages... we had a wonderful time and were truly pampered. Highly recommended.

06/05/2026: Very nice place to have a coffee or hot chocolate by the sea.

06/04/2026: That was the worst service experience ever in 40 years of travelling. After we were pointed in a certain direction by a not so friendly waiter, we (a family of four) came in, sat down to have a few drinks and some gelato....a lady with long black hair came to our table, didnt greet us, didnt look us in the eye, didnt show any will to serve us or any manners at all...so we left. Shame on you and that kind of service. Who do you think you are ? Ridiculous.

09/06/2026: Amazing pasta and pizzas 😋 Highly recommended and very reasonably priced! Very pleasant, family-friendly atmosphere 😊

07/06/2026: Very warm welcome, excellent antipasti. Magnificent pasta. Thank you.

15/03/2026: Best food i ate in my life - scampi a la Mario, it worth visiting St M L just for this restaurant.

13/03/2026: A lovely place with attentive service and dishes that are appropriate for the setting. The quality/price ratio is excellent.

06/01/2026: Stopped here for a quick snack during our stop in Monterosso. The owner was very friendly, we had a great time. Thank you.

06/01/2026: Good food and generous portions, simple place

13/07/2026: My boyfriend and I were treated to an Aquam experience (which I already knew about) with an aperitif. Shortly before our appointment, I let them know we'd be slightly late. We were delayed (due to parking), but when we arrived, Valentina was incredibly understanding, welcoming us wonderfully, describing the experience, then serving us an aperitif (very, very nice), and giving us extra time given the delay. We both enjoyed it very much, and I think we'll be back.

05/07/2026: We spent two days on this beautiful beach. Friendly staff. Good location. Very nice pool.

05/06/2026: The food wasn't good. My husband had the calamari with vegetables and vomited four times during the night. The lasagna I had wasn't good either, and the portion was far too small for €12. The waiter was friendly, but distracted by a football game playing on his laptop at the counter.

31/05/2026: We arrived at 8:15 PM and had to wait an hour for our drinks. The service was unfriendly and inattentive. We won't be coming back again.
