This is a quite large establishment, with ancient vaulted ceilings and a pleasant atmosphere. It is mainly a pizzeria, with a pizza oven right at the entrance and several interesting wine bottles on show. The staff is great, the food decent.

Braccioforte is a piece of Imperia history. Founded over 100 years ago and run by successive generations of the same family, it is a byword for the freshest catch in town, having the fish auction hall next door.Super polite, almost deferential, welcome and service, plush inside and an outside with gorgeous views over the moored dream yachts and the quaint fisherman harbour, the tables set with fine linens, silver cutlery and crystal glasses, the cuisine issues dishes in the classical tradition, no flights of fancy, but the quality is definitely superlative. For a special occasion, and be prepared for the bill...

This is an excellent restaurant with extremely reasonable prices. I always mean to have something different, but can't resist the light-as-a-feather gnocchi (omties with porci) to start, followed by the gorgeous rabbit, boneless and stewed with wine, rosemary and tiny local olives, with slices of roasted potatoes.. I have also had the goat's cheese and pesto lasagne, which is a taste triumph, and had excellent fish twice, but I nearly always find myself unable to resist the gnocchi and the rabbit. There is a very good wine list (though even a carafe of the house wine is delicious and very cheap). Their desserts are also very good indeed. You can sit inside, where it's cosy, or on the glassed terrace surrounded by plants. Completely charming.

We were 4 adults, the venue is really nice, and the staff too. We ate veal, swordfish, calamares and slices of meat. Everything really good, well prepared, but too little of the side dishes together with the meat and fish. The desserts (tiramisu, chocolate fondant and pannacotta) were just delicious and also served with a big bucket of merengue «crema». Recommended.

We ordered a menu for 35 Euros. The first course was a plate of smoked tuna and smoked swordfish- both were delicious. There was a fresh tomato garnish on top that was fabulous. Next course was Linguine and Clams,again, really tasty. The main course was Misto Fritto with many different types of shell fish and fish. Lemon sorbet and coffee for dessert. Our waiter was friendly and provided good service. We would definitely go back.

Restaurant and bistrot open the whole day! Come to visit us and taste our lunch and dinner: you can relax sitting by the seaside in our beautiful terrace. We have wonderful beers and special drinks too! Wednesday jam session jazz live!!

The "I Signatori" is one of those rare gems one either finds by chance or based on recommendation. In my case it was the latter, and at the end of our dinner I told landlord Paolo that I had never eaten better tuna than in his establishment - and I meant it. Friendly service combined with superb cuisine and a lovely view of the Ligurian Sea: pure enjoyment and a culinary destination warmly and seriously recommended. Prices are not low, but certainly more than fair, considering the value offered. In addition, jazz live concerts are regularly performed on the premises. Miss this restaurant at your peril.

The restaurant deserves special attention for those staying in Imperia. Very beautiful location, stylish design, lovely terrace. The food is just amazing. The octopus is superb and so is pasta.

Following the âOsterie dâItaliaâ we were looking for this very decent restaurant. We followed the chefs recommendation and ordered the three course âmenue terroirâ of special Ligurian cuisine. Trofie with Pesto genovese, filled rabbit, traditional dessert .... thatâs how normal it sounds. But in real it is the most pure, delicious and breathtaking food one can imagine. Surrounded by the perfect match Pigato and a proud smile of chef Andrea as soon as he watches you enjoying his masterpieces of culinary art. Andrea - we got the point and say GRAZIE MILLE for an unforgettable diner experience at your restaurant!

We have been looking forward to trying Osteria Didu for a long time. On a Sunday afternoon, it is packed with locals enjoying their weekend Pranzo. The atmosphere is simple (paper place mats and napkins on the equivalent of Formica tables.) The prices are modest and the dishes favor the thriftier market selections such as sardines and cuttlefish and filling pasta dishes.The service is friendly and efficient. Their wine selection is fairly extensive and not merely bargain bottles. The kitchen is skillful and has a wide repertoire. All and all, a good place to know about when you are in or near Imperia. Perhaps I was not as impressed as I hoped to be, but willing to give them another try.

At few meters from the sea, a tipical ligurian restaurant. In this restaurant you can find tipical and caracteristic dishes but also revisited plates. In the winery you can discover wines from all Italy.

Indoor airy wine bar serving a wide range of food. Very difficult to choose between all the dishes on the menu and specials. None disappoint. Vast selection of wines with knowledgeable wine waiter to suggest delicious local wines at great prices
