Diner notes
4 out of 5
I had lunch here during a special occasion and I must say that the food was very good with a view to much. The place looks run down from the outside but the secret is in the traditional quality of the food. It can be difficult to reach by car because the road is very narrow, but once you're there it's worth the effort.

Ended up here by coincidence on our way to Finale, as there was a lot of traffic which we wanted to bypass. Best choice we could have made. The way up to the restaurant requires some bravery but totally worth it. The food was amazing, the menu offered a small yet rich selection of starters, secondi and main dishes, typical for Italian restaurants. We don’t eat meat and were surprised by a fantastic choice of dishes. We had mashed potatoes with stock fish, the chickpeas with chard, home made pasta with pesto and a white fish with pine seeds and olives. The staff was very accommodating and welcoming, even though we arrived a couple minutes before they even opened. They also translated their menu for us which I post below. There was one little error in the translation, the rabbit with pine and olives is actually a white fish. We also had two glasses of their house wine which was light and fruity and very good value for money. Neighbour table had meat, also looked fantastic. My recommendation is to take the chickpea stew, still can’t get over the combination of flavours, wish I had the recipe. The view from the restaurant is also fantastic, as it is located on a hill over the city.

Worth the drive ( even if you get very lost ... Keep a close eye on your google maps ..) Great food , friendly service , beautiful setting. Ligurian cooking - expect more mountain than sea ( both rabbit and hare) fantastic pasta. Great for evening but must be fantastic for lunch. Small car park to the left, just before the entrance & walk 100 m up to the restaurant.
