Very good dinner with my family (4 adults and one kid) into this warm and typical restaurant into the historical center of Sarzana.Personnel is very gentle and prepared and here you can find a good selection of local wines (really appreciated), along with national and international labels. We tasted focaccia (as a kind of appetizer) and some dish of the day. Top place for the marinated cod with âTropeaâ onions: here you cannot miss it!Desserts choice is huge and actually we tried all (Iâm a cheese cake lover, good, but I would avoid the entire strawberries in it).Less than 40â¬/person for a complete meal and 2 bottles of wine (local red, French bubbles) itâs an excellent balance quality/price.Totally suggested the reservation and you need to be patience during rush moment: a good preparation for a lot of people needs time!Be back for sure.

This place is a gem. The food is beautiful. My wife had duck and I had steak with a red wine and shallot reduction - we loved it. The deserts were as good as our favourite restaurant at home (which has a Michelin star and is more than double the price). We went as a result of the reviews on here and are really pleased we did. It is a very short way outside the centre of Sarzana but having been to Sarzana for the last 4 years is the best food we have had. The place had rustic charm, the staff were really lovely and food was heavenly. Go - you won't regret it.

Photonic as one of the pasta dressing that you can find in the menu. Quality of the food is very high and you can find a lot of particular and special preparation. I suggest one of the bio-dynamic menu (white, black, green or cobalt) that are served following a specific food path: from vegetarian to meat, passing through fish. Very good choice of wines. The restaurant is very small, I strongly suggest a reservation. Very romantic for special occasion: the location is awesome. Personnel is very professional and prepared.

Had lunch there with my wife and one of my daughters: confirmed a very nice gastronomic experience. The risotto was an alliance of tradition and creativity, the mezzelune with freshly cut truffle were a poem and the service was friendly and welcoming.Prices are appropriate and the space under the arches allowing for a fresh breeze is a soothing pause in a hot August.

This is the best meal I've had in a long time. The chef Massimo, takes you on a culinary tour of delightful flavours all crafted together into wonderful dishes. He is passionate about what he does and this is reflected in the high quality of ingredients he selects. I recommend the mixed starter of four seafood dishes including the delicious tuna tatare and shrimp carpaccio . The other courses did not disappoint. Just make sure you leave room for one of the homemade desserts. Thanks it is a pleasure to cook for people like you.Best regards Massimo

Another very good dinner in my favourite sea-food restaurant in Sarzana historical centre.I strongly suggest the raw fish as starter, going on with a specialties called "Smoked Octopus Carbonara", an amazing experience.Reservation is suggested as well because the places are limited and always booked.Very good for special and romantic dinners.

It would be 1 star if not for the staff friendness.I was here for dinner, arranged for 20:15 (times are relevant). The restaurant offers 4 set menus, all of them have focaccia with different companion food, water and a glass of house wine:1. A cured meats and cheeses tagliere, and a veggie souffle (20 euros)2. A porcini pasta dish followed by a porcini tagliata (25 euros)3. A wild boar pasta dish followed by wild boar and polenta (20 euros)4. A mixed grilled meats meal (30 euros, min 2 people)Orders were taken at 20:30. Some focaccia appeared within minutes. I opted for the porcini set meal.Around 20:50 people who took meal 1 were served. But people who took meals 2 and 3 had to wait until 21:30 (!!!) to get their pasta. And the main courses of meals 2 and 3 were served around 22:10. Times were clearly not acceptable. But, at least for meal 2, the food itself was NOT acceptable as well, completely different from what normally meant to be (and of course, what was served was much cheaper than what expected). To be explicit:The porcini pasta was served with a sauce mainly made of smoked bacon with only tiny bits of porcini: the porcini flavour utterly lost, given the huge amount of smoked baconThe main course, advertised as a tagliata chianina with porcini, is meant to be a slab of meat at least 5 cm thick, done on charcoal, sliced in 1 cm thick slices, covered in fresh raw porcini cut in a julienne fashion: instead I got a slab of meat barely 3 cm thick unevenly cooked (and NOT on charcoal), cut in thick slabs, deadly cold (!!!), covered by slices of Parmesan cheese, and with a tablespoon of porcini sauce on a side: totally unacceptable, it is almost cheating the customer.I did look around, and the set meal 1, although fairly abundant, was also on the cheap side: some plain different cured meats, a couple of cheap spread cheeses (gorgonzola and stracchino), some anchovies: normally, a "plate of cheese" means a selection of cheeses with some peculiarities (like mountain goat cheese, cheese with herbs etc): again, what served here is far from what normally expected when a cheese plate is advertised.

Looking for this place can be a challenge especially if not local as we did spent sometime driving back and forth the street... the building itself looks simple, an old pink house from the beginning of the last century like some others found in the area... but once stepped inside a different world is shown...Style between rustic and smart without being pretentious, informal with classy touch... Lots of bottles, corks and wine wooden boxes; antiques (a beginning of the last century flour mill is displayed at the initial dining room), farm tools and artifacts, drawings, posters, old maps, LP records, old prints... liked the one with the dogs queueing for their turn...We had their starter trio of appetizers: ewe cheese soufflè on a broad beans sauce, a pork loin carpaccio and eggplant parmesan beautifully presented with their logo plate, inviting (and delicious); raviolis and a very rich and creamy tagliatelle with walnut sauce and red chicory which filled my evening appetite... even if full for the main course, there is no way (well, for us!) to skip their desserts since is nice to end with a flourish; pear and ginger crumble and a slice of chocolate and ginger cake. Wine was suggested by the host, a local Vermentino that greatly matched with our meals as the local area is better known for their whites not for the reds... We think everything is fair priced and of value, considering the whole context: quality and quantity of wine, food, presentation, place and service. An enoteca (wine repository) with bistro, antiques, music and great caring sympathetic hosts, what else can we ask when needed a relaxing lay-down dinner... we enjoyed our dining experience here, the type of place we like, pity that we live so far away...

We were referred here by someone at a local winery. Everything was so perfectly wonderful here--waiting for a table while exploring the hilltop-medieval village above it, dining with a sweeping view of the coast, eating amazing food and laughing at ourselves as we tried to decipher the menu. It is a very local place, so speak Italian or be prepared to wing it!

After much hype, we dined at VOCO restaurant in Fosdinovo. The portions were ridiculously small. The calamari appetizer had 3 small pieces of calamari in it and many fried vegtables. It was wzrm, at best, and a bit soggy from oil not hot enough. The main courses, a risotto dish and a VERY small pizza, very ordinary. The risotto was watery and the pizza had almost no cheeseThe atmosphere is lovely and the restaurant is very well decorated. We would not return here.
