Restaurant

Maurizio's skilled hands prepare fresh pasta in various shapes: tagliatelle, fettuccine, pappardelle, all served with tasty sauces typical of the region. You can enjoy meat sauces, pesto, wild boar, and other game meats, perfect for delicious stews. The meat comes from a certified Piedmontese farmer, who raises and butchers the animals to offer steaks and other cuts perfect for grilling. Additionally, you cannot miss the classic Ligurian rabbit, a traditional dish from this region that is halfway between the mountains and the sea. The customers also greatly appreciate the bagnùn of anchovies, a dish made with highly sought-after anchovies. Thanks to the proximity to the sea, you can enjoy fresh fish, with dishes that vary depending on the catch of the day. During the beautiful season, you can also enjoy meals outdoors, under the cool pergola.
