In the historic heart of Bobbio, on the first floor of a former 17th-century convent, three intimate, well-appointed rooms welcome you with lively paintings and vintage objects. The menu is lean yet rich, offering four options for each course, blending tradition with playful flavors. The wine list is like a small encyclopedia, featuring a thousand labels from around the world, with vertical selections for connoisseurs. Don't miss the ricotta pearls with sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, and Parmesan.

Almost as if on a postcard, the warmth of an old barn set in verdant silence, on the border between Piedmont and Liguria, inspires a cuisine based on seasonal and local raw materials, in which there is a fine commitment to the search for 0 km products. The management is obviously direct and family-run, and the recipes aim to give you a taste of the simple but exquisite flavours of the Val Borbera.

Now housed within Tenuta Riccagioia (the region’s agricultural research facility), two elegant and modern dining rooms with large windows overlook the internal courtyard directly. The chef’s cuisine aims to be territorial, though it willingly wanders along the peninsula with excellent lamb culurgiones. Additionally, there’s Sicilian extra virgin olive oil from Castelvetrano, outstanding bread service, and intriguing desserts. Among the must-tries is certainly the local duck, flavored with rhubarb, wild garlic cream, and coffee jus, prepared in traditional fashion. Wine is a beautiful chapter u

Still on the plain, yet already at the foot of the hills that can be glimpsed on the horizon, what from the outside presents itself as a typical country house surprises within with an elegant dining room that opens into a sort of veranda overlooking the garden and the greenery of the lower Piacenza countryside.

The menu features references to local ingredients and recipes, alongside the excellent focaccia with ciccioli served among the bread course, a true speciality of the house. The co

In Portofino, the celebrated chef Cracco has installed himself in the building that was once no less than Il Pitosforo, right in front of the small harbour, guaranteeing his lucky guests a view of it, the piazzetta and the enchanting gulf. Through the skill and expertise of executive chef Mattia Pecis, it offers a moderately modern line of cuisine, in two tasting courses - 7 courses or 11 courses - which do not lack beautiful references to Ligurian recipes and ingredients (many vegetables directly from the Fescion Farmer's vegetable garden, a short distance away, in the mountains), with the no

Anticipate a little time and patience tackling a winding progressively less urban road to reach, inland, San Desiderio, where Bruxaboschi has been delighting clients since 1862 under the same familial management. It will be worth it. Rightly renowned, the cuisine pays homage to local traditions (nearly exclusively meat), commencing with an excellent Genoese cima, picagge and pansotti among pastas, and fried rabbit. In season, obligingly, is the unmissable fungi engagement.

Between the sea and the railway, an open-space restaurant with a minimalist, contemporary design welcomes guests with its open kitchen, where chef and owner Ivan Maniago and his team transform ingredients from Liguria into sensory experiences. The philosophy is clear: 90% of the products come from small local producers. Three tasting menus offer an original interpretation of Liguria: Altitudine, a jouney from the coast towards inland Liguria; Profondità, an immersion in the wonders of the sea; and Vege-table, dedicated to green freshness.
