Personale molto gentile e se vuoi assaggiare i piatti di una volta sei nel posto giusto. Preparatevi per gustare minimo 14 pietanze

Abbiamo mangiato molto bene! Eravamo in quattro, abbiamo preso tutti primo, secondo e dolce e abbiamo speso il giusto. Piatti semplici ma gustosi e saporiti, personale molto gentile.

Oggi una domenica tranquilla abbiamo deciso di andare alla Lavinella, ristorante oltre che per il cibo lo apprezziamo anche per la gentilezza non solo della proprietaria ma anche del personale.Non è la prima volta che ci andiamo e siamo sempre stati benissimo,lo consiglio sicura di non sbagliare.Grazie famiglia Barbieri

Veramente un posto come una volta,mangiare tanto e benissimo Menù da 7 antipasti, 2 primi ,3 secondi e 2 dolci un litro di vino...35 euro a persona...ci tornerò

I stumbled upon this place by chance during a family outing. A simple but welcoming family-run restaurant. Typical, unpretentious dishes: here, it's the substance that counts, not the appearance. We had lunch as if we were at a friend's house.

One of the last traditional homemade trattorias in the Imperia province, this charming spot offers a fixed menu with multiple courses, from starters and first courses to main dishes and desserts. You'll find local specialties like lumache in umido and cosce di rana fritte, all prepared with exceptional quality for this type of establishment. Nestled in a beautiful inland village with a nearby stream, the location adds to the delightful dining experience. The fixed menu is priced at 35€, which includes house wine. Highly recommended, it’s a 4.6.

Wonderful Antipasti, we ordered as a group of five antipasti for 2 persons and shared it. It was definitely enough, this way you can taste all of them. The atmosphere is great, everyone is friendly. Great explanation of the daily dishes and everything was very tasty. 10/10 would recommend. All the locals eat here, speaks for itself.

La lavinella is our favourite restaurant we always visit for Sunday lunch when we are in Alassio and have been visiting for years. The food is always excellent and everyone is friendly.

Brilliant restaurant; Wonderful peaceful atmosphere, friendly local staff, epic food cooked with local, fresh ingredients, all in a cute mountain town. The prices are incredible for such great food. This place is an oasis!! During the week it is open for lunch, on the weekends it is open for you to find a seat for dinner. You will likely need to walk a bit through the town to get here; parking wasn’t available next to the restaurant when we were here.

If you want to get a taste of Liguria for a ridicuously low price and in an idyllic scenery, then La Lavinella is something for you. They really care about the food experience and do this by serving a multi-course menu. Normally it's 3-4 courses, anti-pasta, pasta, meat and dessert, but their menu frequently changes, so you'll have to see when you're there. Be aware: if you come with 2 persons, I recommend that you share the meals (just say that you want 1 dish for 2). If you pick meals individually, you may not survive the full 4 courses; they do not save on portions :). The staff was really friendly, there was only one waiter that spoke English and I believe he only did drinks. The others spoke Italian (of course) and a bit of French. If you're coming by car, I wouldn't recommend parking in front of the restaurant. Not only is the street quite small to get there, but there is only room for 4 cars (6 cars if 2 cars decide to block the exit for the other 4 cars, which happened to us...). So just park in the town and walk to the restaurant. You can park in the street when you come in Lavina and pass the bridge, in the street on the left. You can also park more in the town center.

One of the cutest typical Italian mountain restaurant in this reagion. A must visit for dinner if you are on vacation around Pieve Di Teco. The short walk from the car has already stunning views. You start with a lot of appetizers (Antipasti) and then you can choose between different handmade Pasta (Primo Piatto) or if you can't decide they will just give you a mix of the handmade pasta they offer at that night. And if you are still able to eat you are offered a so called Secondo Piatto with meat, fish, snails whatever you fancy. All handmade and grilled outside. And obviously don't miss out on the desert and the Espresso at the end. The owners are super nice and they speak English and even a little German. And at the end you pay a super reasonable price. 100% recommended!

Amazing dining experience. There was no menu to order from, we got a lot of starters (like 7 or so) and then a pasta dish and a meat dish after. All traditional Ligurian cuisine. The desserts were amazing as well, classic Italian. The restaurant is aparently still family owned and we were served by the lady and her elderly mother, who very very kind even though we could not speak Italian.

Good village in Italy

Good typical Ligurian cuisine. A bit heavy on the salt. Very good value and excellent house wine. Recommended.

Frank Demeulemeester

Super! Not "Michelin star - like" but really good. You may think though that they are trying to kill you by " overfeeding" their guests😀.

Kir Finermann

Lovely family restaurant without any menu. Just relax and let them feed you!))

Traditional Ligurian delicacies. Amazing setting in the small mountain village of Lavina.

Ristorante a conduzione famigliare. È nell'entroterra Imperiese. È una buona occasione per visitare un paesino poco conosciuto. Ambiente pulito, il personale gentile e servizio molto veloce. Il menù è composto da prodotti genuini e tipici del territorio. Da non perdere i ravioli : una bontà fatta in casa. Prezzo contenuto. Merita una visita.

Pranzato in 4 ieri 14 settembre 2025 ,menù fisso,antipasti circa 7/8 ottimi ,così come i due primi e i tre secondi,le lumache veramente notevoli,ritrita gelato e tiramisù. Tutto curato e genuino. Efficiente e simpatico il servizio. Vino sciolto più che onesto,così come il conto. 35 € tutto compreso .Infatti almeno la Domenica a pranzo se non prenoti non entri. Noi per fortuna eravamo in terrazza,peccato che la sala sia veramente frastornante,consiglierei dei pannelli per abbattere il rumore. Comunque complimenti. Un dubbio sul formaggio dentro le frittelle di pasta sfoglia o matta che sia.

Facendo ammenda, non conoscevo a fondo Lavina, frazione di Rezzo, pur essendo di Imperia. Bella frazione attraversata dal torrente Arroscia. Venendo al locale rappresenta al 100% il territorio, con portate tipiche liguri (es. coniglio e lumache). Cucina ottima, servizio al tavolo buono. La struttura del locale non ha grande anima, si potrebbe dare di piu'. Comunque rapporto qualita'/prezzo al TOP.

Ok

Cucina genuina, familiare, abbondante, con note tipiche dell’entroterra ligure. Prezzi modici, accoglienza familiare, dolci casalinghi buoni.

Personale discretamente gentile, molto riservato, la proprietaria, molto disponibile e ho comprato il suo libro, decisamente caro per un quaderno ma l’aiuto a chi scrive di se … non si rifiuta mai. Il cibo è buono, come mangiare in casa, semplice e abbastanza curato, le lumache che dovevano essere il piatto di punta però non sono speciali anzi, a mio avviso sono neutre, dovrebbero essere più gustose, più personalizzate nel gusto. Sicuramente nel contesto, una bella giornata che ripeterò, sono posti che non devono scomparire piuttosto e magari, aprire alla sera non sarebbe affatto male.

no dish except pasta looks like it has the original appearance!
