Restaurants cuisine du monde Liguria

In a panoramic position on the Manarola pier, this is a tried and tested address with a fine menu featuring both sea and local flavours. Among the specialities, the homemade pasta such as the taglierini with squid ink, pink shrimps and peppers, as well as the fish soup. Nice list of regional white wines. The view of the sea from the terrace, especially at sunset, adds a very special touch to the meal.

Among the many shops in Via Fieschi, this small trattoria, housed in the former warehouses of an old palace, is definitely worth a visit. You will particularly appreciate the atmosphere inside, with its large grey stone walls on which a number of frames hang. Apart from the inevitable anchovies (try them in sauce with spaghetti), the menu offers a selection of land and sea recipes that are quite tempting. This address, although it has become very touristy, is still worth a visit!

At 102 m above sea level and 1 500 m after the beautiful village of Isolabona, La Molinella opens its doors to offer you summer and during the holidays of unforgettable holidays on the farm. The rest of the year, the restaurant is open the weekend on reservation only. For those who do not wish to take up the road, three small rooms are available (reservation). The menu of the restaurant offers all the dishes of the region, such as brandacuiun (stockfisch), barbajuai (ravioli and goat fresh cheese) or fugassun (cake to artichokes and blettes). Side desserts, everything is made home from jams and cakes made with farm eggs. You are advised of the ice cream to the farm nuts or the frangipane pie of almonds (on order in advance). In the summer, the restaurant also opens outside with 50 more seats.

Elegantly, the restaurant is located at the end of the pontoon, this restaurant offers a fine wine list. Typical kitchen and specialities from the sea.

This small caterer sells a little of everything from arancinis to pizzas, focacce and flour. The prices are a little expensive, but the place remains convenient enough to buy a pizza to go (or a cold beer) before leaving to see the sunset in front of the sea.

An institution in Manarola, its location makes it a welcome spot for tourists arriving from the underground tunnel leading to the station. On the first floor is a welcoming bar, but it's upstairs where the action is. Exquisite and abundant, the cuisine exalts all the flavors of Cinque Terre: marinated anchovies as a starter, followed by grilled fish spiced up with the local petit blanc, or pasta with pesto and other flavors. The chef? A lovely little lady who knows how to handle home-grown produce. Bonus: the summer terrace.

Nestled on the heights of the city, facing the Aldo Acquarone park, this typical restaurant with a guinguette look is not lacking in charm! We like its retro look with its open-air terrace. In the summer, it's crowded and it's better to reserve. Indeed, the pizzas prepared here are delicious. But the must is the pinsa: an even more succulent preparation with quality ingredients. In a young and relaxed atmosphere, the idea is to devour several slices while sipping a beer. Traditional ice cream (homemade) to die for!

An address or simplicity blends beautifully with regional cuisine. Welcome and service to offer you a moment of relaxation and culinary discovery of very good quality. The menu consists of an entrance, a dish (fish or meat in choice) and a dessert. The octopus salad is a testament to the quality of products, as is the traditional tiramisu, which must be tasted. Simple products and very well worked.

A table not to be missed! The well-appointed dining room and beautiful terrace overlooking the market square are just as suited to business lunches from neighboring offices as they are to gourmet dinners. The chef's cuisine is of the highest quality, with an original touch of refinement, never neglecting fresh local produce. Examples include gambas on foie gras escalope, puff pastry with purple potatoes and Santa Margherita prawns, and chocolate fondue with fruit and cookies.

This is the ideal formula for this delightful brewery in the city centre. The menu changes every day and follows market arrivals; while you serve (to will, for those who have not followed) to the buffet of antipasti, Marisa the mistress of the house prepares you the first and if you are still hungry, secondo with everything that is freshest. Some examples: stew ravioli, creamy carrots and oranges, salted pies for vegetables and anchovies, stuffed peppers, rabbit in grilled sauce and fish, not forgetting home desserts with chocolate cake and tiramisu.

Renowned for the quality of its food and service since 1918, the Giappun restaurant offers simple, tasty and generous Mediterranean cuisine, with fish and seafood as the main ingredients. The trattoria-style establishment makes a point of offering market produce. On the menu, for example, fish carpaccio, octopus as a starter, followed by gnocchi, lasagne, fresh ravioli or fish of the day, before savoring a sweet treat. A fine wine list and impeccable service.

Here's a good place to try regional specialties. Here, we pay tribute to seafood. Specialties include fish carpaccio, fish soup and fish ravioli - in other words, fish is king! You'll also be able to sample some excellent primi (risotto, seafood pasta, etc.). As for the wine list, it's quite extensive. What's more, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the restaurant is housed in an^18th-century building in the center of Bonassola. The terrace is also very pleasant.

Boasting a terrace overlooking the mountains, the little inn, which also has four rooms, has been in existence since 1998. The atmosphere is family-friendly, the place is simple and offers local cuisine and pizzas. The menu is rounded off by a few reminders of the seaside(spada affumicato con olio e limone, cozze alla marinara, tagliere del Feudatario, tagliolini alla crema di noce, minestrone di verdura con brugarelli...). A tasting of home-produced extra-virgin olive oil is a must. Free private parking.

This restaurant is a sure bet in town. Don't hesitate to enter the dining room to discover the decor, which is as much a galleon captain's cabin as a pirate's den. Bacco, the owner and a former fisherman himself, has put together a jumble of bric-a-brac. The à la carte menu features a seafood platter, marinated Ligurian anchovies, spaghetti with shellfish, bottarga pasta, fritto misto, stockfish, grilled swordfish... To accompany your meal, we recommend mineral water(naturale) or a pitcher of house white wine(vermentino).

Set back from the seaside without yet being totally inland, the Da Delio restaurant is as much a must-see as the Château de la Comtesse, which dominates this charming, atypical little village. The chef offers local cuisine in the form of grilled meats cooked over olive wood. The dining room offers a beautiful view over the verdant valley, while the terrace is at the foot of the carrugio. Just a few of the dishes on offer: hot artichoke and potato pie, cured ham with artichokes in Perinaldo oil... Delicious!

If you go by the small medieval village of Isolabona during your Ligurian trip, here is a compulsory gourmet restaurant. Ristorante Da Bruno is a tribute to good Italian cuisine and offers recipes from the country and Piemont. The setting shows much taste with beautiful tables and pretty tablecloth in a slightly rustic room with stone walls. Mauro, the Chef, likes to work with fresh pastas and offers a wide range of flavours: we come here for his famous tagliatelles with ceps, his raviolis bolognaise and gnocchis with gorgonzola. Meats are also a specialty in particular the excellent (beef) "tagliata di manzo" served with oven-baked potatoes. Try also the delicious roasted rack of lamb. The antipasti are also as delicious like the bagna caoda, the Piemont fritto misto or the Piemont gran bollito. The plates are tasty and generous. Add to this a charming welcome and in French! As for the bill, it remains light whether you choose dishes from the menu or if you go for one of the very copious menus. An exceptional value for money!

A sophisticated eatery in downtown Sarzana, both in terms of its setting and what's served on the plates. The dishes on the menu blend a variety of Italian influences: Ligurian, Tuscan, Emilian... Whether you prefer meat or fish, there's a dedicated menu, but vegetarians will also find something to their liking, especially mushroom lovers. The white truffle is particularly honored here, in a multitude of variations. A fine wine list accompanies these delicacies.

Housed in a former wine cellar, A Scibretta takes its name from the century-old magnolia tree that lives just a few steps from the restaurant. In the vaulted stone dining room or on the terrace, weather permitting, you can enjoy simple, tasty cuisine based on local produce. Rabbit with olives, snails in sauce, homemade tortellini and ravioli, and all kinds of grilled meats are just some of the dishes on the menu. And finally, the classic tiramisu for dessert. The wine selection is equally satisfying, with over 65 labels to choose from.

One of the best pizzerie in Genoa, where the pizza is so wide that it is barely on the plate!

There are not many vegan restaurants in Genoa, so you shouldn't miss this address, which is not strictly vegan but which offers plenty of gourmet ideas with or without meat. The team at Guiditta prepares dishes based on cereals, legumes, cooked or raw vegetables. We like the soft polenta, the spinach quiches, the penne with pesto, the hummus with focaccia, the panzerotti with wild herbs and Taggiasca olives, without forgetting the meatballs in the cabbage leaf or the fried fish. With this, a glass of local wine!

A well-known address in the region, always very popular during the summer theater festival. A friendly atmosphere in a relaxed, authentic setting in the center of this pretty village (wooden tables, checkered tablecloths, wine by the jug), where you can enjoy tasty, high-quality Ligurian cuisine. Fast, efficient service. Try the localantipastoand fish spaghetti, as well as the fried anchovies and troffie with pesto. As for the pizze and focaccia, they're tasty and well cooked over a wood fire.

It is in a refined setting that you will taste a cuisine devoted mainly to fish and seafood. A fresco reproducing a pastoral and bucolic landscape on the wall with the effect of giving a little more depth to the small room, carpet on the ground… The particularity of this establishment lies in the quality of the products that come almost exclusively from the agricultural operation specially designed for this purpose.

A friendly and welcoming little bistro with a pretty terrace, offering some fish specialities and well seasoned pasta, but above all excellent pizzas. To be tested: pesto pizza.

Located on the harbour, this welcoming hotel offers a great variety of fish specialities with a touch of creativity.

A beautiful address nestled in the heart of the village. The room has a slightly rustic air, with its exposed stone walls and wooden chairs. The tables are elegantly laid, and the atmosphere becomes quite romantic in the evening when the candles are lit. In the kitchen, Mauro concocts delicate family recipes. The menu evolves according to the seasons and market arrivals, and each day a complete, copious menu is proposed. Good value for money. The establishment also rents out rooms.

This somewhat hidden osteria in the heart of Bordighera is full of surprises. Inside, the vaulted rooms seem to be carved out of the rock, while on the terrace, large parasols protect you from the sun. The menu on the slate offers fresh, high-quality dishes: octopus, rabbit, fresh fish, risottos, pasta and tasty desserts. A plus: the extensive wine list (including sparkling wines) allows you to discover the different regions of Italy.

Between Finale Ligure and Varigotti, Gambero Verde can be reached in 45 minutes. With its exceptional setting, this little trattoria in the hills will amaze you. It's an old stone chapel and, when the weather's fine, you'll enjoy a cool pergola. The cuisine, tasty and generous for once, features Ligurian specialties such as stuffed vegetables and pasta with pesto, served without fuss. A quality address in a fabulously peaceful setting, conducive to gentle moments of relaxation.

As its name suggests, this former trattoria enjoys an ideal location, as if clinging to the rocks, with a view of the sea. This elegant restaurant is a good address in Zoagli, where you can enjoy the spectacle of the sea while tasting an excellent cuisine of rigorously fresh fish and shellfish. Try the carbonara di mare or the spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams).

An institution in Savona, where the queue gets longer every evening. It has to be said that, until 2016, this trattoria had no reservation phone, no license to serve coffee and even less of a page on social networks! Things have changed since then, and phones and coffee have made their appearance. The farinata (a kind of roasted chickpea cake) is one of the best in Liguria, but the fresh fish dishes, cutlets, small fried dishes, soups and pastas are just as excellent.

With its terrace on the seafront promenade in Sestri Levante, the pizzeria is bound to be popular and busy, especially at weekends. Conte Max makes great pizzas, crispy and stringy, cooked over a wood fire. Choose from over 100 different pizzas. The establishment also offers antipasti and pasta dishes with seafood, anchovies, shellfish, grilled meats and more. A rich and comprehensive menu to satisfy every taste, with a lovely view and good value for money to boot!

A downtown address that needs no introduction. The 1905 bistro has now become a restaurant with a certain class, without having become too pretentious. As for the cuisine, it remains of the highest quality, as does the friendly service. The chef works wonders with very fresh fish: grilled, ravioli and stuffed pasta, fish in a crust or fillets, all accompanied by the inevitable local olive oil and olives. The cellar, finally, is not lacking.

No longer a restaurant.

In the harbor of Marina di Varazze, an address that has built a solid reputation among seafood enthusiasts. Created by a fishermen's cooperative, the menu varies daily according to the catch. There's no à la carte menu, just a single choice: starter, pasta dish or risotto, fish dish and dessert, and if you're still hungry, the rest is on the house! Meticulously prepared dishes and a delicate cuisine that's not lacking in flavor. Its added value? The tables on the floating terrace, illuminated on the waters of the port.

The beach restaurant "Lido Beach" has been run with much care for more than 15 years by Liliane and her team. This family restaurant is popular among regulars who like the relaxing atmosphere and the simple but refined cuisine. The panoramic terrace overlooking the sea is very pleasant as from summer. The Chef offers a menu where fish are kings. Freshness and undisputable cooking are the key words. We also like the assorted hors-d'oeuvres, salads for a light lunch or numerous Italian pasta specialities. The setting is more intimate and refined for dinner. On the other hand, the deck chairs and umbrellas greet you at the beach. Showers and cabins are available to customers.

Created in the 1950s, it is one of the oldest private beaches of San Remo. Today, it is run together with the restaurant by the charming couple, Claudio and Elena who perpetuates the tradition of receiving guests transmitted through generations. The sandy beach and its umbrellas and well spaced deck chairs make of course an attractive setting. We have to say that here a particular attention is given to your comfort: the customer is not taken for a "sardine"! No reason then to put you in a box, we give you space! The dining room is luxurious and the terrace overlooks the sea. The atmosphere at night is more refined and the subdues lights add a romantic touch to the setting. The dishes are mostly turned towards fish, grilled meats and pizzas besides the paella. Prices are very low. Note that there is a plaground for kids and canoe kayaks and pedal boats for rental. A large free parking, a games room complete their service list.

In the heart of the old part of Monterosso, a long-established address for tasty pasta dishes and regional specialties such as stuffed anchovies, marinated anchovies, lemon anchovies.... Another highlight is spaghetti alla Cambusa with pan-fried seafood, not to mention trofie with langoustines, accompanied by a glass of good white wine. Often open in low season, when all other restaurants are on vacation. The only downside is that service is sometimes very slow and not always very friendly.

It may not look like much, but this little trattoria is a favourite haunt of the locals, who flock here in droves to feast on famous regional specialities: focaccia al formaggio, minestrone alla genovese, fried anchovies, stuffed vegetables... These are just a few of the many local traditions cooked up with no fuss and plenty of flavour. At the entrance, there's a takeaway counter, and if you'd like to sit down at the table, you can do so in the back room. Ideal for a 100% local lunchtime break. An authentic address.

Here's a little osteria that's over a hundred years old (opened in 1905), but there's nothing infernal about it - quite the contrary! A regular clientele regularly descends the few steps that lead to the two vaulted rooms down the street, where you're always sure to find the flavors of a plentiful traditional cuisine at fair prices: stuffed anchovies, minestrone, tripe and several local specialties such as stuffed mussels. While the atmosphere in this old-fashioned cellar is warm and welcoming, the place is nonetheless noisy. The staff speak French.

A true culinary experience a few kilometres from France with panoramic sea views for regional cuisine with olive oil, delicately revisited.

Perched on the heights of Manarola, with an admirable view of the town and the sea, this address is well worth the steep climb it takes to reach it. The grilled fish is perfect, the seafood antipasto unforgettable, the pasta rigorously homemade (a classic must: spaghetti al pomodoro) and the desserts a work of art. Last but not least, it's always amusing to see the waiters, laden with plates, skipping nimbly up and down the steps between the kitchen and the dining room. Reservations are recommended.

Outside, Paolino does not Pay a mine. In fact, it hides a pleasant room, the tables, the paintings, the walls and the jazzy music. An elegant and friendly atmosphere. On the plate, the best of the sea. There is nothing to criticize, with a friendly and very attentive service.

This renowned restaurant is located in Vernazza's picturesque piazza, and boasts a pleasant terrace as soon as the warm weather arrives. The highlight of the Gambero Rosso is undoubtedly the anchovy and potato tian, the traditional Vernazza recipe, baked in a copper pan (the tian itself). In spring, starters include salad or burrata, followed by a wide variety of fish dishes. Vegetarian and meat dishes complete the menu. For those with a sweet tooth, portions are generous.

Located on the seafront, between the two ports (Porto Sole and the Old Port) on Morgana beach in the center of San Remo, this contemporary building in the shape of a circle tames the sea. Managed by a young, smiling and friendly team, this restaurant offers a cuisine that moves between tradition and discovery. The cotoletta alla milanese and the meringata are sure references as well as the fish cooked simply in order to preserve all its flavor. The exotic side of some dishes will take you on a trip around the world, especially with the sushi and sashimi. The Victory Morgana Bay is also a trendy place for aperitifs, which can be enjoyed on the terrace with a drink accompanied by a very pleasant choice of tapas made in Italy.

Frantoio is the Italian word for wine press, named after the large old wine press that sits in the middle of one of the two pleasant dining rooms. In a pedestrian alleyway in the center of Lerici, a little set back from the seafront, here's a good restaurant well known to the locals, where the cuisine reflects the sun and perfumes of the Mediterranean. Among the specialties, seafood carbonara, langoustine triumph, fried squid and shrimp, sautéed mussels and salmon carpaccio are just some of the good choices on the menu.

Just a stone's throw from the old port and the aquarium, in the historic center, this restaurant offers a new concept in pizza: gourmet pizza. An idea that's proving increasingly successful, with the emphasis on taste and the quality of the 100% natural products used, resulting in an incomparable bread flavor, both soft and crunchy, the result of long natural rising and excellent preparation. A pizza that has been elevated to the level of a gourmet dish! Don't miss the excellent house cocktails at aperitif time!

Small restaurant located next to the aquarium on one of the harbor piers. A privileged position from which to enjoy the tranquility of the place, in the company of the boats and sailboats that always have an evocative effect. Just a few tables in the interior dining room and on the terrace confirm the intimacy of this address. This also allows the chef to carefully prepare dishes based on fish caught daily. A delicate, well-prepared cuisine that stands out for its aromas and flavors. Impeccable service and courtesy are the order of the day.

This restaurant on the magnificent Baia del Silenzio enjoys a privileged position. The location is enchanting, and a dinner on the beach terrace is a unique moment: a perfect setting that gives the chef just the right creativity for a cuisine inspired by typical recipes from the Ligurian tradition. Well-crafted dishes that reveal the Mediterranean flavors of yesteryear, prepared with simple, authentic ingredients but enhanced by the chef's savoir-faire. A culinary experience to the rhythm of lapping waves, not to be missed!

Just a stone's throw from Piazza De Ferrari and the Palazzo Ducale, this small restaurant in a historic alleyway offers cuisine with a strong local flavour. Its recipes are as simple and tasty as tradition demands. The dishes are distinguished by the chef's savoir-faire, who successfully enhances the freshness of the raw materials, which change regularly according to the season. The place is warm and inviting, and in fine weather you can enjoy the terrace on Piazza Giacomo Matteotti in front of the Palazzo Ducale. What more could you ask for?

A refined place on the quayside of the old port, a stone's throw from the aquarium, to discover the tradition of Genoese cuisine in an atmosphere that's both simple and warm. A cuisine inspired by the past, where flavours remain faithful to their origins. The wood-fired oven bears witness to this, with succulent farinatas and cheese focaccias. The recipes, mainly based on the sea and the catch of the day, highlight the gastronomic and oenological specialties of Liguria. Not forgetting the possibility of a cocktail on the terrace on summer evenings...
