Found this place tucked away in the old town. The Ligurian cooking is creative, really showcases local ingredients. Had a nice glass of Vermentino with the fish stew, it cut through the richness perfectly. A bit on the pricier side, but the wine pairing made it worthwhile.

You can watch them grinding the pesto fresh at the window. The basil smelled incredible. Got the classic pasta, and it tasted so bright and clean. A nice, simple spot for the real deal.

The farinata was a standout. I really appreciated how the crisp edges gave way to a soft, chickpea-flour center. It felt light and wholesome. They were also thoughtful with the appetizer selection, offering options that worked for different diets at our table.

This restaurant was a great find for our group of two families. We really enjoyed the beautiful sushi dishes and our teenagers loved the grilled chicken.

Good service and food, 7 types of meat for a AYCE menu at 34&euro;. Funny people and nice environment.

We loved it! We came back the next day. The service was really nice and super helpful. We ate the Slerf and the calzone. Quality was really good. We really enjoyed it. Price point was great. Thanks for everything.

We had an amazing moment at this restaurant ! I really recommande it :) The food and wine were delicious and the service was discreet and friendly.

Very nice location. Close to the sea.  The service was very good. The waiters are very professional and very kind. The food was very good, especially the finger foods, the bread and the fish. I was not impressed with one of the primi piatti, but that could be personal and subjective. Overall a very positive experience.

The bartender really knew his stuff. Suggested a couple small-batch aperitifs I hadn&#39;t heard of, and they were spot on. The free nibbles were a nice bonus too.

The lunch set menu is solid. Had the pasta and a fish main, both were tasty. Good portion for the price. A reliable spot for a quick, satisfying meal.

Prices are decent for a spot right on the water. Grabbed a quick lunch here. The fish and chips were fine, but the real win was finding a local lager on tap that paired surprisingly well with the salty batter. Hit the spot.

Came by for a casual dinner. The pesto focaccia and burrata bruschetta were really good. For about &euro;35 each, we got drinks, a big starter platter, and a few dishes to share. Felt like a fair deal.

Been coming here for years. Their sandwiches are always fresh, and the staff knows my order by now. It&#39;s a solid spot for a quick lunch.

The baked sea bream was really fresh and cooked just right. I liked the simple, clean vibe of the place, it felt very relaxed. The tables are a bit close together though.

This place really feels like a local spot. The vibe is authentic and lively, not too polished. I just grabbed a table by the window and enjoyed watching the street while I ate. The energy in the room makes it a nice spot to unwind.

Stumbled on this spot right off the highway. The pizza was surprisingly light, not heavy at all. Just what I needed for a quick bite. Crust had a nice chew to it.

The focaccia here is so good, I ended up taking a whole one home. Perfectly crisp outside and soft inside. The pizza looked great too, but I was too full to try it this time!

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s the real deal. The Pizza Enzuccio is my go-to. Crust is always just right, not too thick. Puglia&#39;s good too. Simple and reliable, that&#39;s what you want.

The pizzas are huge and so good. I loved the unexpected topping combos, a real treat. Just a heads up, they&#39;re massive, maybe too big for one person.

The chef took time to explain the menu, which was helpful. The blue crab was fantastic &ndash; so fresh and flavorful, I ended up ordering another portion. A nice, simple meal.

Arrived 30 minutes late for our booking. Staff handled it professionally, no fuss. The Cinta Senese fillet with lard and truffle was executed well. A solid, no-nonsense meal.

The raw fish starter and pesto lasagna were both lovely. The main courses are generous, which I appreciate. I just wish the tables weren&#39;t quite so close together; it felt a bit cramped for a relaxed dinner.

The mandilli al pesto was spot on. Pesto had that perfect balance of basil and pine nuts, really fresh. Pasta texture was just right, al dente. Didn&#39;t even need extra parmesan.

The staff were really friendly and patient with us, especially when we had questions about the menu in English. Their recommendations were spot on.

Perfect for a quick lunch. Got the gnocchi with pesto, creamy and filling. In and out in 30 minutes. Prices are fair for the portion. Exactly what I needed.

The food is solid and portions are generous for the price. I really appreciated how comfortable the seats were - not something you always find in casual spots. A relaxed, no-frills meal where you can just enjoy your food.

A nice break from the tourist spots. Found decent homemade pasta, the kind you want on a rainy evening. The crowd was mostly local, which was nice. It did get a bit loud later on. Would book ahead again.
