Very good dinner with my family (4 adults and one kid) into this warm and typical restaurant into the historical center of Sarzana.Personnel is very gentle and prepared and here you can find a good selection of local wines (really appreciated), along with national and international labels. We tasted focaccia (as a kind of appetizer) and some dish of the day. Top place for the marinated cod with âTropeaâ onions: here you cannot miss it!Desserts choice is huge and actually we tried all (Iâm a cheese cake lover, good, but I would avoid the entire strawberries in it).Less than 40â¬/person for a complete meal and 2 bottles of wine (local red, French bubbles) itâs an excellent balance quality/price.Totally suggested the reservation and you need to be patience during rush moment: a good preparation for a lot of people needs time!Be back for sure.

We ate here, because it was part of our holiday package. This meant that we were served what was on their set 'package', so we didn't get the option to see the menu.The bread they serve is the local speciality, which is similar to a pancake. The first course is pesto served on this bread, which makes the course a little soggy. Our second course was antipasti, with some cheese, and mixed vegetables. We asked for some bread to go with this, and we were given 'the bread', but toasted, which makes it crispy (I think they should have toasted it for the pesto to avoid the sogginess). The dessert was the toasted bread (again), which came with a small dish of jam, and a smaller dish of Nutella. In all, we had 3 different sandwiches as our evening meal. Not what was expected. The servers were cheerful, but that's the best I can say about this place - which, incidentally is on a main road next to a reclamation yard - really not attractive.Gentilissima,siamo dispiaciuti per la sua recensione....mi chiedo solo ...se non conoscete il prodotto perché giudicarlo....i panigacci sono un piatto tradizionale,dove vi è bisogno di una. Certa tecnica e capacità ,i panigacci servito conditi vengo bolliti come per tradizione,normale siano mollicci..... è come andare a Londra ordinare un fish and Chips e lamentarsi che è fritto .....un po' di cultura sul cibo farebbe bene a tutti.............si ricordi che dietro ad un ristorante c'è gente che lavora e fatica...con tutte le difficoltà del caso....prima di giudicare ...meglio riflettere ..e se si vuole fare i gourmet...meglio studiare

This place is a gem. The food is beautiful. My wife had duck and I had steak with a red wine and shallot reduction - we loved it. The deserts were as good as our favourite restaurant at home (which has a Michelin star and is more than double the price). We went as a result of the reviews on here and are really pleased we did. It is a very short way outside the centre of Sarzana but having been to Sarzana for the last 4 years is the best food we have had. The place had rustic charm, the staff were really lovely and food was heavenly. Go - you won't regret it.

Photonic as one of the pasta dressing that you can find in the menu. Quality of the food is very high and you can find a lot of particular and special preparation. I suggest one of the bio-dynamic menu (white, black, green or cobalt) that are served following a specific food path: from vegetarian to meat, passing through fish. Very good choice of wines. The restaurant is very small, I strongly suggest a reservation. Very romantic for special occasion: the location is awesome. Personnel is very professional and prepared.

Had lunch there with my wife and one of my daughters: confirmed a very nice gastronomic experience. The risotto was an alliance of tradition and creativity, the mezzelune with freshly cut truffle were a poem and the service was friendly and welcoming.Prices are appropriate and the space under the arches allowing for a fresh breeze is a soothing pause in a hot August.

This is the best meal I've had in a long time. The chef Massimo, takes you on a culinary tour of delightful flavours all crafted together into wonderful dishes. He is passionate about what he does and this is reflected in the high quality of ingredients he selects. I recommend the mixed starter of four seafood dishes including the delicious tuna tatare and shrimp carpaccio . The other courses did not disappoint. Just make sure you leave room for one of the homemade desserts. Thanks it is a pleasure to cook for people like you.Best regards Massimo

Another very good dinner in my favourite sea-food restaurant in Sarzana historical centre.I strongly suggest the raw fish as starter, going on with a specialties called "Smoked Octopus Carbonara", an amazing experience.Reservation is suggested as well because the places are limited and always booked.Very good for special and romantic dinners.

Lovely owner, spoke English, staff were very stressed and fast which made experience a bit anxious. Having said that the same meal which was fine dining equivalent back in Australia would have cost $80 per head which only cost $20 per head for 3 courses

Per fortuna abbiamo ordinato le portate poco prima che si riempisse il locale. A dire il vero ci siamo seduti dopo altri clienti e siamo stati serviti prima. Vuoi la facilità delle portate o non so bene cosa... poi il delirio. Persone che hanno atteso invano degli antipasti freddi mentre noi eravamo già al caffè. Si percepiva un'aria tesa perchè la cucina era andata in confusione. A parte questo, non abbiamo mangiato male ma non ritorneremo comunque.

It would be 1 star if not for the staff friendness.I was here for dinner, arranged for 20:15 (times are relevant). The restaurant offers 4 set menus, all of them have focaccia with different companion food, water and a glass of house wine:1. A cured meats and cheeses tagliere, and a veggie souffle (20 euros)2. A porcini pasta dish followed by a porcini tagliata (25 euros)3. A wild boar pasta dish followed by wild boar and polenta (20 euros)4. A mixed grilled meats meal (30 euros, min 2 people)Orders were taken at 20:30. Some focaccia appeared within minutes. I opted for the porcini set meal.Around 20:50 people who took meal 1 were served. But people who took meals 2 and 3 had to wait until 21:30 (!!!) to get their pasta. And the main courses of meals 2 and 3 were served around 22:10. Times were clearly not acceptable. But, at least for meal 2, the food itself was NOT acceptable as well, completely different from what normally meant to be (and of course, what was served was much cheaper than what expected). To be explicit:The porcini pasta was served with a sauce mainly made of smoked bacon with only tiny bits of porcini: the porcini flavour utterly lost, given the huge amount of smoked baconThe main course, advertised as a tagliata chianina with porcini, is meant to be a slab of meat at least 5 cm thick, done on charcoal, sliced in 1 cm thick slices, covered in fresh raw porcini cut in a julienne fashion: instead I got a slab of meat barely 3 cm thick unevenly cooked (and NOT on charcoal), cut in thick slabs, deadly cold (!!!), covered by slices of Parmesan cheese, and with a tablespoon of porcini sauce on a side: totally unacceptable, it is almost cheating the customer.I did look around, and the set meal 1, although fairly abundant, was also on the cheap side: some plain different cured meats, a couple of cheap spread cheeses (gorgonzola and stracchino), some anchovies: normally, a "plate of cheese" means a selection of cheeses with some peculiarities (like mountain goat cheese, cheese with herbs etc): again, what served here is far from what normally expected when a cheese plate is advertised.
