Fabulous food with traditional rabbit dishes and homemade pasta! wonderful location in the high side of Bordighera, among terraces and city walls. Here I ate the best tiramisù (Italian dessert) I have ever had and, since then, I have come back several times. Great for families and groups of friends. Reservations are mandatory if you want to find a spot! Prices are more than honest.

Besides the excellent, honest food (without any unnecessary frills), the hospitality and warmth are certainly worth mentioning. We were lucky enough to be able to sit down even late in the evening and enjoy the atmosphere! Oh yes, and the prices are more than fair! Truffle pasta for €18 – that says it all!

Nice local food, tried the fried porcini, Corzetti with truffles (very good) and gnocchi al castagno 👌🏼 service needs some more grooving in but overall nice!

Delicious local food to reasonable prices with outdoor seating in beautiful old Upper Bordighera.

The restaurant was busy (8pm) and we had to wait a little while to be shown to our reserved table. Though the restaurant specialises in local food, the waiting staff were very friendly and helpful in describing the dishes, the menu per course was limited. Some of our pasta dishes were good, others said their pasta was disappointing. Unfortunately our desserts weren't that liked either and the panna cotta was served as pictured.

It was a huge disappointment to return to Scibretta after a couple of years away. I'd come often in the past, even after the first management change, and I remembered dishes cooked with care and attention, local ingredients, and prompt, professional service. We ordered a plate of barbajuai, recommended by the waitress as the dish of the day, along with fried porcini mushrooms, only to be told they weren't available because they can no longer find the brusso (cheese) for the dough... Notify them instead of encouraging them to order? Remove them from the menu? We then ordered two first courses: cruxeti with truffle, whose flavor was barely noticeable (absent!), and pappardelle with saffron and what should have been local pink shrimp. I was served a plate of watery pasta with peeled and obviously frozen shrimp, as well as parsley, which almost completely covered the flavor of the rest. Both first courses cost a whopping €18 each: definitely an affront for such a long shelf life. I didn't find anything of the place I loved so much in the past, and I definitely won't be returning. There are definitely better places.

A truly cozy-looking restaurant. Unfortunately, we don't speak Italian, and communication in English was only possible with the chef. We had the wild boar and the truffle pasta. The meat dish was delicious, as was the polenta. Unfortunately, the pasta only tasted like pasta water, and the generously shaved truffle unfortunately lacked flavor and didn't save the dish. While we did receive melted butter when we asked, I wished they had simply offered me a different dish. Not a word of regret when I returned almost the entire meal. We paid full price but didn't tip because we didn't receive good service. Even though we don't speak the language, we still know when people are talking badly about us. It's a shame, we can't recommend this restaurant. Neither for the taste nor the service.

We booked not realising that it had changed hands. It was so good before, offering seriously prepared food. Apart from chatty front of house awful, sloppy service, no wine, bread, correct cutlery and the food was at best mediocre and poorly presented. Then over charged by just a couple of euros but summed up a really disappointing evening.

The restaurant has changed management. What was once a cosy family run restaurant with wonderful local food has become a rather awful heartless eatery. How sad, it’s just plain dreadful now. Stay away from it.
