My friend took me here long time ago so I went again by myself. Ordered the seafood antipasti and the pesto lasagna which I remembered til this day how good it was.

Excellent little Trattoria in the city center. Fantastic and fresh fish. The lasagne al pesto are phenomenal and so the moscardini fragolini (never eaten them anywhere else). Book in advance — if possible — otherwise the place gets full of locals and in the know quickly.

Amazing address, perfect service, food is cooked in a simple but greatly tasty way, the product comes first.If you are looking for a good Italian restaurant, with an authentic touch, try it out. Nothing to really add, it’s just good tasty food.(From a Japanese and French point of view)

10/10 hidden gem. I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful with the menu. The inside is very clean and has a great atmosphere. My wife and I got the pesto soup and a couple pasta dishes that were to die for. This was one of the best restaurants we went to on our trip and we will definitely be going back!

Every dish is scratch-made from locally sourced ingredients. They (sometimes if you're lucky) make a ravioli with locally picked herbs that's to die for. You must have their shrimp. Their deserts are made in-house by the chef. Their seafood is better than that of any famous seafood restaurant I've visited in Houston, TX, my hometown. This is a restaurant about which romantic movies could be made. It's small, informal, passionate, and delicious.We've been here twice. Our family comes here weekly when they're in town. Never mind all the other things you could do in Ligure, come here to eat.I post a photo of one of their fish dishes. Fish was done simply and perfectly. The potatoes, simple potatoes, sent us to heaven. I'm NOT exaggerating!Also a photo of their squid and eggplant appetizer, spiced and sauteed simply and to perfection, the photo almost not taken because I was so into eating the food. May not look like much, but as I was scarfing it down, politely of course, I wanted the chef to adopt me right then and there.Fortunately, we only had to walk 40 meters to our rented apartment.

Family owned, neighborhood restaurant with great food. We enjoyed our dinner so much we returned the next night to try different items. It was a Friday night and the restaurant was fully booked but the owner made room for us.
