Beautiful terrace for lunch or dinner overlooking the sea. A charming, traditional atmosphere. Excellent homemade dishes. The herb ravioli and appetizers are truly delicious... everything homemade... and you can taste it. Excellent desserts. A great place to stop after a day at the cliff climbing. Recommended.

A Five-Star Culinary Experience in beautiful Finale Ligure, Italy From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in for something truly special. This restaurant is a hidden gem that effortlessly blends the soul of Italian cuisine with warm, heartfelt hospitality. Whether you’re a local seeking a refined evening out or a traveller longing for an authentic taste of Italy, this place delivers on every level. Every dish was a masterpiece — fresh, seasonal, and bursting with flavour. You can taste the passion and precision in every bite. We especially loved asking our waiter, “What would make the Chef happy to cook for us today?” — and we highly recommend you do the same. It’s a beautiful way to discover a dish that the Chef is excited to create, often something off-menu and unforgettable. Dining here isn’t just about eating — it’s about connection: to the land, the tradition, and the people. A meal to remember, and a place we’ll return to. 🇨🇦 Travellers

Lunch in a naturally ventilated environment on an unbearably hot day at the end of June '25. On the terrace overlooking the sea while being in the mountains. Fantastic appetizers, first courses and desserts. An exceptional calamarata and... everything else was superb. Don't miss the desserts that, although expensive, are worth every euro paid! Punto G and hazelnut cake with cream and fresh peach, truly to be enjoyed! Exceptional cook with a husband who knows how to do his job, advising customers in the best way without being intrusive. Since we drank a lot of water, given the temperature, she brought us a bottle at a time that was kept in the thermos container with ice so that it was always nice and cold. Small courtesies that are greatly appreciated. I recommend this restaurant without reservations.

Johannes Günther

Exceptional kitchen with an extraordinary service. I highly recommend this Restaurant! Prices are quite low considering the quality of food and preparation. Biodynamic wine available. The waiter went to pick fresh lemons for the ordered lemonade 🥰

In a magical setting, we tried this restaurant, located in the charming little square of Perti Alta, opposite the old church, an 18th-century building. The location is truly beautiful. During the day, it offers the opportunity to explore the nature trails in the Finale hinterland. The marvelous view from the two terraces where you can dine is certainly lost in the evening if you go after sunset, but the valley filled with lights that come on and illuminate important buildings and structures in the area is reminiscent of a nativity scene and reflects its magic on the restaurant, tastefully decorated in a rustic, country style, elegant yet welcoming and informal. The service was excellent, with special mention for the friendliness and self-deprecating humor of the staff who looked after us. The dinner was exquisite. There were five of us with completely different tastes. So, both a vegetarian and a non-fish lover found satisfaction in the alternatives to the very fresh seafood. The cuisine features Ligurian dishes revisited with creativity while never abandoning the original character of the recipes. A good selection of wines, extraordinary desserts. Even the meat dishes offer rich flavors. The service was excellent, allowing plenty of time to enjoy conversation and company between courses. Although we did the chef credit, the dinner wasn't heavy in any way. Well done, we'll be back. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Excellent restaurant with a breathtaking view of the valley. The owner was super friendly and helpful and gave great wine recommendations. The food came with home-grown vegetables and was carefully prepared and presented. Prices were totally okay.

i dont understand the bad reviews here, the service was very friendly and food was great. atmosphere was really lovely with a great view. we enjoyed our dinner a lot.

I visit Finale very often and this is my favourite restaurant. The mountain scenery is absolutely incredible, the service is very friendly and the food has always been a joy.

We had dinner here last night and it was amazing. The food was perfect, service was excellent and the view just rounded out the perfect evening out.

Luogo incantevole e nota di merito al servizio che è attento e curato , ottima scelta di vini . Consigliati gli gnocchi al nero di seppia ed i ravioli ( tutto fatto a mano e da sottolineare la bontà dei sughetti) , apprezzata la frittura che però servita in un sacchetto di carta alla fine risulta un po sminuita/mortificata , tutto buonissimo , unica nota stonata un inaspettato wurstel nella grigliata mista di carne , ad ogni modo alla fine è tornato il sorriso con uno splendido dolce alle mandorle fatto in casa che definirei semplicemente squisito .

Dinner for two. Excellent location, with views of the Ligurian mountains and sea. The rustic and personalized furnishings were also beautiful, the waiter who served us, perhaps the owner, was very friendly and kind. Everything is very clean, even the toilets and the distance between tables is maintained. We took a seafood appetizer, which was decidedly delicious (8/10), and two first courses, which unfortunately did not have any particular flavor (score 6/10). The wine list is a bit limited although of medium quality. It deserves 4 stars because it still has something to improve. Medium/medium high prices perhaps, but really nothing to complain about. I recommend it and I will return hoping for some small improvements Ps. The idea of ​​an initial welcome taste is very nice

Getting lost on purpose again... Thus, reaching this amazing restaurant on the top of the hills. Friendly, unformal and elegant at the same time. Very good food, wine selection not so wide but st…

Siamo stati qui per festeggiare Capodanno 2026. Già durante la prenotazione, la proprietaria ci aveva avvisato di eventuali ritardi nel servizio, accortezza che abbiamo gradito però, oltre che lungo, alla fine si è rivelato anche leggermente disorganizzato/improvvisato. La location è molto bella, con la vista su Finale Ligure. Di contro c'è il posteggio, che abbiamo trovato di fortuna. Piatti più belli che buoni, peccato. Il conto secondo noi un po' salato, speriamo che sia stato un caso vista la serata particolare.

Siamo venuti per una cena estiva, con una bella vista, e ci siamo trovati in un posto veramente poco curato. La location e le foto facevano pensare a un posto molto più carino e invece, tovaglioli in carta, sedie scomodissime e teloni metà su e metà giù. I camerieri erano molto gentili e simpatici ma alla fine di tutto il servizio è stata la cosa peggiore. Ci abbiamo messo mezz’ora solo per ordinare e tutti i piatti sono arrivati con grande ritardo. La selezione di vini era limitatissima. Per il prezzo pagato a persona (€70) ci aspettavamo un servizio molto diverso, una cura ai dettagli al pari del costo dei loro piatti.

Good food..not great service..no explanation or knowledge of the food.A few cobwebs on the walls.Not particularly friendly

Gianluca Orso

Pricey and not very good quality

Mi dispiace davvero tantissimo dare recensioni negative, perché comprendo che dietro ci sia tanto lavoro e sudore ma Ragazzi, non ci siamo proprio, rispetto a 2 anni fa è stata davvero una Sofferenza. Tempi lunghi, ma non è nulla..un po di pazienza e si mangia tutti.. se si dimenticano i piatti però... non si mangia! Disorganizzazione livello 100, alla richiesta di un'altro piatto (chiesto dopo) ci hanno detto di no (noi imbarazzati), poi aggiunto perché ci hanno visto straniti e sconvolti. Piatti normali e non più buonissimi come 2 anni fa. Posto bellissimo, all'aperto, ma purtroppo aperto vuol dire manutenzione e qua non c'era, o almeno, non si vedeva. Abbiamo mangiato con un ragno sulla nostra testa, oltre agli insetti in generale che però ci possono stare.....più o meno... Salviette per le mani finite dopo la pasta con il pesce (21.30). Alla richiesta di lasciarci un menù ci hanno detto di no (penso servissero perché pochi??) Rapporto qualità/prezzo ormai non ci sta più. È davvero un peccato, sono molto dispiaciuto per questa recensione negativa.

Lunch for 25 people, agreed for 25, increased to 37.50 for a maximum of 10 more bottles. The second course was a ridiculous portion, less than half! Bread brought in two slices at a time... terrible service. Never return!!!

Claus Burtscher

Rude service, he just laughed as we didn't have a reservation.

Bad food, worse service, but out standing view. Please, do check your bill as we paid for water twice... 2 Euro and 1 euro
