Magiargè Osteria Contemporanea

€€Ligurian

The dining rooms in this lively, typical restaurant in the upper, historic part of Bordighera appear to be almost dug out of the rock. Here, a local chef with plenty of experience behind him creates predominantly Ligurian cuisine (and not just fish and seafood), accompanied by an excellent and extensive wine list, including labels from outside Italy and a good selection of champagnes. Attentive service completes the picture here.

TripAdvisor review sample · 3.8/5 · 80 reviews

Located in Bordighera's old town, Magiargè offers contemporary Ligurian cuisine. Food reviews are mixed: some praise fresh ingredients, creative plating, and dishes like baby octopus risotto, while others criticize bland flavors, small portions, or undercooked sides. Service is generally described as kind and professional, though some found it unfriendly. The atmosphere is elegant and suitable for couples or families, but not large groups. Opinions on value vary; some consider prices fair, while others find them high relative to the limited menu and quality.

Suitable for couples or small families seeking refined modern Ligurian cuisine; verify opening hours in advance and avoid large groups.

Romolo Mare

€€Seafood

Situated in a private beach club facing the sea, this restaurant combines a relaxed atmosphere with an elegant feel thanks to its professional owners who have worked as restaurateurs for many years. Here, they serve excellent fish and seafood cuisine with a focus on raw dishes, plus a choice of daily fish specials. A selection of interesting local wines completes the picture.
