U Canetta 1

Situated amid the picturesque alleyways of the historic centre, this beautiful restaurant boasts an elegant decor and a warm, friendly welcome. Here, the young, talented chef (originally from Campania but now settled in Liguria) serves Mediterranean cuisine with a traditional regional influence cleverly added to each dish. Our favourite dishes included the excellent trenette pasta with octopus ragù and 24-month-aged parmesan fondue, and the timeless “brandacujun”, which is freshly prepared and served at your table by the chef himself.

Quiet, well - kept restaurant located in an aristocratic, early twentieth - century villa surrounded by a pretty garden.

Hidden down an alleyway in the town centre, this friendly trattoria boasts an attractive ceiling with exposed brickwork. An excellent address for fans of Ligurian cuisine, fish and seafood. House desserts include sour orange semifreddo.

Occupying a 17C olive oil press in the heart of a charming medieval village, this restaurant has retained its old stone mill and wooden press in its vaulted dining room, which provides the backdrop for imaginative fish and seafood dishes prepared using top-quality local ingredients. The delicious Italian-style ceviche is made from the catch of the day, while the Mare Mare mixed fish dish is baked in a casserole with cherry tomatoes, courgettes and bay leaves. If you’re looking for a simpler option, try the I Torchiettibistro on the corner of the same street.
