It's a small place, but the food is AMAZING. Pesto, Pasta, Meats & Sweets are all great, expertly cooked and served in a light-hearted atmosphere. The Staff are very friendly and polite, too. Go for it, and you won't regret it, you'll love it.

I had lunch on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at Hostaria Marcomando in Sarzana with my wife and a couple of relatives of our time. We arrived late, well after 2 p.m., but the owner was quick to welcome us. It was hot, but the narrow street in the center was breezy, and the umbrellas did their job. I ordered the testaroli because they're typical of the area, and I was right, as they were quite original. Usually, testaroli are very large, larger than a pizza, and are cut into squares, but these were whole, the size of a focaccia. Three testaroli, three different toppings, and a remarkable delight. I didn't order a second course because I don't like eating meat, even though I'm not vegetarian, so I ordered the green tagliatelle, cacio e pepe, with shrimp tartare. These were also phenomenal. So why four stars? Because the place, outside, was rather spartan. Hard chairs, set with paper placemats and napkins. Nothing wrong with that, because it's okay to be outside in the summer, but, in my opinion, they detract somewhat from the pleasantness of the experience. The interior is very nice and almost cooler. The bathroom is excellent, even with a window, which is a plus. Prices are very reasonable, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Since Sarzana, especially during the "La Soffitta nella Strada" event, is a little gem, I highly recommend both the place and the Ligurian town. Oh, and I shared my reviews with others, so you should know that I'm not just one, but four opinions at once. :D

We were recommended this restaurant by the owner of our overnight lodging. And it was a great discovery. It was a small restaurant with fabulous dishes. The pasta with black truffle and the cut of meat and eggs that was served with more truffle was sublime. The wine list was not extensive but had some very good wines from the region that were reasonably priced. Atmosphere was ok although they had a table that was very loud next to us. The owner (Marco) was very kind and explained to us where the produce of the restaurant came from and very apologetic about the noisy table. The menu changes according to the season.

Good value for money, friendly staff, nice location

Not too bad, expected more fresh seafood instead of the usual Farmed sea bream(orata) Portions are not large.

little bit expensive, location not the best

We got ignored at the entrance and after a while they told us to wait 5 minutes for a table. We ordered the food and the food was nothing special. Not tasty and it didn’t felt homecooked. I wouldn’t recommend this place for someone looking for good food in friendly environment.

They have only good service,but food not really, i ordered shrimps with beans, shrimps wasn't cleaned well and after some time i got intoxication. So something is wrong with their kitchen. From their reply is obviously also what kind of restaurant it is, instead to apologize for their mistake and to not clean food, they are being rude. Like something is wrong with my stomach, i have been in many places in the world and never get bad review to the place if doesn't deserve. So good luck guys to your diarea.
