The service is quick and the staff are very friendly and welcoming, making sure customers of all ages feel comfortable. We ordered a pan of traditional cheese focaccia for two and a plate of grilled vegetables (carrots, eggplant, peppers, and zucchini) plus a liter of drinking water. The prices are affordable and average. We recommend it and would gladly return to try other specialties besides Recco focaccia, such as the seafood pasta dishes, the peppered mussels, or the fried anchovies. The portions are generous; in fact, a single pan of classic stracchino focaccia is enough to feed two people. Definitely worth a try!

A very casual place; we tried it during the anchovy festival. Very good and plentiful dishes, excellent breaded and fried anchovies. There are just two tables inside, and the rest is outdoors, perfect in the summer. They accept cash, cards, and Satispay as payment methods.

Inside a period building overlooking the sea (which, unfortunately, can't be seen from inside), with a street entrance through a lovely little garden with tables, this is a simple place with friendly staff and delicious home-cooked food, featuring pasta and fish at more than decent prices and generous portions. You can't miss the excellent Recco focaccia, faithful to the original (with melted cheese), which is so hard to find these days. You'll want to return just for that...

I'm always a fan of the cloth tablecloth... The place is close to the sea, and this rightly helps it attract customers. I found the food delicious, with the waiting time between courses also "just right," which was a good thing because the place was busy. It's also suitable for a snack, if you like.

We happened upon this restaurant by chance one Sunday while they were hosting a folk dancing party. The staff were young and welcoming, and the food was tasty and plentiful. The Recco focaccia was delicious. The price was commensurate with the quality. With all the magic of dining just steps from the sea, we had a pleasant evening.

We booked almost a month ago for Christmas lunch, called back yesterday to ask about an allergen, and arrived today to find our table was unavailable. They set up a cramped table in the center of the room and seated us. The portions were meager and mostly cold. The waiters were friendly, but the lady was very rude, almost as if we were bothering her.

One star because zero isn't an option... in any case, I can't review the food because I didn't have the pleasure of tasting it due to the rather awkward welcome. I'm reluctant to say "Ligurian hospitality" because I'm part of this wonderful region, which has little to do with such behavior. We arrived and after waiting at least 10 minutes, we were told to move because we were crowded against a table that, rightly, complained about the lack of staff; the staff didn't examine their conscience, but instead basically blamed us in a very impolite manner. Up to this point, one might think they could be right, but if that were the case, we wouldn't have had to wait half an hour for our drink order, which never arrived anyway. We sat down, giving it another chance (which I wouldn't have given). We were handed a menu despite there being three of us, only to then be left to fend for ourselves. Seeing that almost all the tables were still unserved (they had arrived well before us), we decided to go elsewhere. If a place can't handle all its tables (there were quite a few empty ones anyway), it would be better to hire more people, or better yet, keep fewer.

Alua, semmu andô inta ostaja a mangiaâ, bona la fugassa de Recco, ancioe frïtœ good, BUT there was a lot of ciàtto, and when it arrived, gh’an spantegou o’ Vim Clorex inta balera, unna spussa terribile. In Italian: We came to eat this evening, the anchovies and the focaccia di Recco were good… but the service and organization were terrible. Almost an hour passed before we were served, they brought the first things and the plates were missing, then the wrong order was placed and a fried food disappeared in the kitchen. While we were eating, they spilled detergent on the dance floor in the garden near the tables. I tasted a fritto misto that tasted like dishwashing liquid. The only positive thing was the curly waiter, the only one who apologized.

As a true Fornacino living abroad, I love returning to the places where I spent a good part of my childhood and my life in general. And first and foremost is the Serenella Society, with its XXV Aprile performances, skating lessons, anchovy festivals, lifeguard training, and so on… But unfortunately, this time was a huge disappointment. Actually, it was the second time…but I wanted to give it another chance before reviewing. After sitting at the table for over half an hour, we had to call for service even though half the tables were free. The Recco focaccia was anything but good, with a thick dough, full of semolina, and brewer's yeast…and the prescinsêua barely made it… The octopus with potatoes was average, neither good nor bad…but the fried food was nothing short of terrible. Soft, cold, unimaginably greasy, with bits of breadcrumbs mixed with soggy, sticky crusts... I sent it back without any fuss or fuss, just a huge disappointment. The owner at the register pretended nothing had happened, leaving it on the bill. I had to clarify that I'd "returned" it because he'd deducted it from the bill. Zero organization, zero service, zero quality, lousy prosecco, forget about the coffee... only the bottled beers are worth it... I hope the partners take action and entrust the management to someone who understands at least a little about catering... More than Bella Recco, now it seems like a Sleeping Beauty... what a shame.
