What could be better than eat al fresco, in one of the best area in Liguria? Great food al fresco in Liguria. I first came to this osteria 35 years ago. Very little changed since then. Great food and amazing ambiance.Don’t miss the mix appetizer and the mix meat grill. And you can finish with simple but homemade delicious desserts.A regal treat.

Malafemmina Da Ferdi

Reviewed By LesleyWood

Excellent and friendly service, a table in the sun so we could watch the passers-by and good food! What more can one ask for!!The size of our meals was plentiful and my insalata mista was easily big enough for two. My calamari with olives was delicious and my husband enjoyed his mussels and grilled fish too. I would definitely eat here again!

Controcorrente

Reviewed By hbj1973

We were planning to for a dinner at one of the local Michelin star restaurants, but couldn't get a table - and thus decided to try Controcorrente.We were NOT disappointed.It is not a Michelin Star restaurant, but the food was very good, the wine list reasonably comprehensive, the service flne and the price very reasonable compared to quality, atmosphere and service....all though they could benefit from having an English language menu.Try it!

Ristorante Il Vescovado

The site on which the structure stands dominates the entire inlet of Noli, including the historical center of the old marine republic, and looks out upon the open sea, towards the eastern ligurian coast and the Apuane Alps.The Bishop’s Residential Palace

Reviewed By LesleyWood

I hate giving bad reviews however our two experiences were utterly different.Last time we felt we had landed in heaven with the beautiful dining room and attentive service. The waiter was passionate about what he was serving and the sommelier gave us an excellent selection of wine with our delicious and varied tasting menu. And to top it off, the pricing was excellent.This time we sat outside on the balcony with beautiful views of the town and the bay. The waitresses were attentive but lacked enthusiasm. The sommelier was quite frankly lazy, and used the same wine for three of our courses. The pungent fishiness of each course overpowered the other flavours although the presentation was beautifully artistic and interesting. And our meal had doubled in price from 3 years previously. Sadly, I don’t think we will be returning.

La Ruggia

Reviewed By Tex68

We've been to the newly opened "La Ruggia" restaurant upon recommendation of some friends. We've found our new favourite restaurant on the Liguria coast!The menu is rather short, 3-4 choices each for fish starters, meat starters, pasta, fish main courses and meat main courses. All are made freshly by the chef and the fish, in particular, was fantastic. I started with the tuna tartare, which left me simply speechless for its taste, refined and light, and followed with the "fritto misto" (which is not on the menu, but is a "classic" of this place) and in spite of my big appetite I was not able to finish a portion that can easily feed 2 people. The variety of fish (not just the usual scampi and squid, but a hole lot of "real" fishes, from red snapper to sardines, from "signorina" to small bars) was astonishing and absolutely outstanding. By far the best I've had in a very long time.I finished off with the chocolate ice cream on apricots. A combination of delicious ready made gelato with small pieces of apricots that perfectly balanced each other taste.In the impossible case you would not like the food here, this place a worth a visit just for the location. When you say "eating by the sea" usually you don't really have the sea 10 metres away... And the view on the gulf, in a nicely warm evening, left me and my friends sure of coming back within the next week or so...(With local wine, we spent about 35 € per person)

Spaccafrutta

Reviewed By Pinuzza7

the owner is nice and always available for clients, but he should better manage people who work there and the way to serve clients . When there are a lot of people the staff gets confused . They are slow sometimes and it would be better you get your order yourself otherwise you never do breakfast.Fruit is amazing and the quality of the ice-cream too. Place is pretty expensive but probably it is due to the fresh and high quality of the food.

Spiaggia Con Ristorante

Reviewed By Satch67

Staying frequently in the South of France we decided to trie out their Italian neighbours in Liguria in 2008. We ended up in Albatros Varigotti. Bagni Gallo was situated in front of our hotel. This beach bar & restaurant is our main reason for returning here every year since. What a great dish, of course You have to like fish and pasta with a cold glass of Pigato, but who doesn't...!! The staff works very relaxed and friendly.You'll expirience a laid back atmosphere and a great seaview in which kids are more then welcome. We will be looking forward going to Bagni Gallo this year again!!

Muraglia

Reviewed By Alan F

There are three superficial reviews listed here previously, which tell you almost nothing. This small hotel restaurant has been around for a long time in this quintessential Ligurian seaside village. We have been fortunate to dine here four or five times in the last two decades. The small dining room establishment strives for and achieves great things. The menu may be a little narrow, but everything coming out of the kitchen is beautiful, well balanced and delicious. The quality of the ingredients and the presentation justify somewhat elevated prices.For many years Michelin had awarded the restaurant a star. Michelin, in Italy, is even more inscrutable and erratic than in France. Now listed, without a star, the restaurant is still a very reliable and enjoyable destination. The spaghetti, with shell fish and grilled peppers we had today for lunch was sublime. San Pietro with zucchini very respectable, but with just a tad too much salt. The dessert cart was full of lovely temptations. The wine list, concentrates on white wine and champagne, consistent with the strong seafood direction of the menu. Service was gracious and low key. Sitting on the veranda, with an unobstructed view of the sea, and a fine meal unfolding, represents what fine dining is about. Bravo. We will be back.
