The owner&#39;s passion really comes through. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the Ligurian dishes felt authentic. Prices are fair for what you get.

Impressive wine list with some great local Ligurian finds. Prices are actually pretty reasonable.

Service was on point. Staff knew the menu inside out, explained the specials without rushing us. Felt relaxed, like a neighborhood spot you&#39;d go back to. 👍

Service was really attentive. They took my nut allergy seriously, double-checked everything. Staff explained the menu clearly in English, no pressure. Felt comfortable, like a casual dinner with friends.

Lovely little pizzeria. The pizza maker was so kind. The pizza was excellent, the dough had a nice chew and the tomato sauce tasted so fresh. I really appreciate when you can taste the quality of the ingredients.

The pasta here is definitely the star. You can tell it&#39;s all made fresh to order. I had the seafood linguine, and the clams were so plump and sweet. Really tasted the difference.

The anchovy pizza is really good here. The crust has a nice chew and they don&#39;t skimp on toppings. It&#39;s a cozy spot, good for a relaxed meal. Service was friendly, just took a little while.

The rustic interior is so cozy and warm. It really does feel like a traditional Italian spot, not something set up just for tourists. The wooden beams and soft lighting made for a very relaxed dinner.

The staff took time to explain the local dishes, which was very helpful. Appreciated their attention to detail.

The veal roast was tender, but the homemade trofie with pesto really stood out. Fresh, with a nice texture. The local anchovies were a pleasant surprise for a main &ndash; not overly salty at all. A solid choice.

A decent spot with a pretty varied menu. The pan-cooked pizza with the thicker crust was a nice change.

The charcuterie board was lovely, but the homemade pasta really stood out. Fresh, simple, and just the right texture. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

Great spot for a quick bite by the beach. Pasta and pizza were solid, plus a couple of drinks. Bill didn&#39;t hurt the wallet. The free dessert was a nice touch. Good for a fast, satisfying lunch.

A nice little spot, very clean. The staff were friendly. We had a decent aperitif and the wine was pretty good - ended up skipping dinner because of it. The food we saw did look tempting though.

Cozy place, nice for a quiet evening. The music was a bit loud for conversation though. Had the grilled octopus, cooked just right, tender with a good char. Portion felt a bit small for the price. Still, a solid spot.

The Zuppa del Pirata was the highlight. The broth had a clean, fresh taste, and the seafood was perfectly cooked. I appreciated how light it felt for a soup so rich in flavor. A very satisfying choice.

Nice spot on the pier, very relaxed. The food was pretty good. Happened to be there for a Queen cover band, which was a fun surprise. The music got a bit loud for conversation, though.

Came for the fresh catch of the day. It was really fresh, and the plate looked like summer on a dish. A bit pricey for the portion, but I&#39;d still get it again.

Beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The saltwater aquarium really adds to the vibe.

The pool and relaxation area were spotless. The wine list had some nice local options that paired well with the seaside vibe.

Grabbed a quick lunch here and snagged one of their few tables. The space is tiny but perfect for a solo bite. Had the chicken sandwich, it was fresh and hit the spot. Just a nice, simple meal without the fuss of takeout.

The owner&#39;s passion is infectious. He genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in every little interaction. It&#39;s not just service; it feels like he&#39;s sharing his home. That warmth made the whole evening. The focaccia di Recco was lovely, too.

Everything is top in this hidden jewel. The menu is gorgeous, the quality exceptional, the staff is kind and helpful. We will come again

Such well prepared seafood. So fresh. The red shrimp tartare with fresh oysters, scallops was great. The basil and lemon sorbet excellent as was the mixed grill seafood (swordfish perfect) and spaghetti vongole. Great cocktails. Service lovely. Will be going back.
