Great variety of highest quality pizza and pasta - we tried a few new versions that we enjoyed a lot. Attentative staff with great English skills (not always a given in Italy). More fun to come with a bigger group as you can then share...MoreThank you very much. See you soon. Lucio and Oasi La Pizza Staff

Historic restaurant recently renovated. The restaurant Lanterna Blu offers tasting menu. A table reservation is obligatory, so you need to book in advance. No credit card payments accepted.

Enjoyed a short break in Imperia, but slightly disappointed with much of the food that was served to us! Thank goodness for Lanterna Blu, some new and interesting dishes served by staff who were interested and cared and weren't just there to take our money. Thank you for restoring our faith! The highlight of the meal was the traditional Ligurian dish of fish, herbs etc., really wish I knew what it was called so I could try and replicate it, it was amazing as was the octopus and potato salad. The menu here is fixed so there is no wriggle room but chef knows what he is doing so I would definitely recommend it, if only to challenge what is perceived as "traditional" fare. Top marks!!!

We walked in off the street without a reservation on a quiet Monday evening. Decided to go for the €45 tasting menu and were not disappointed. Excellent theme of seafood (mostly squid and octopus) presented with innovative flair. Beautiful presentation, excellent local wine and efficient service. Stunning value

Yesterday we stayed here for a perfect romantic dinner with seafood, fish and desserts! We have chosen Prosecco Brut that made the dinner amazing! Our visit there was not planned without any reservation and the service was also great in all. All dishes including desserts were prepared in front of us after the order. Also the kitchen is opened in front of the guests. The prices also are moderate - 15 - 20 euro for dish. Desserts are for 6 euro. Coffee was offered for us complimentary! So the service and level are on the top level! Highly recommended!

The menu was as long as the Waterloo battle, everything looked good. We chose the traditional ragu (spagetti bolognese) and spagetti with fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. The house wine was perfect. And the service friendly. Luckily we made the reservation since the place was full. I quess people appreciate honest Italian food :-)
6. Osteria Didu

Reviewed By Whitebeard83 - Fayence, France
We were the first guests for dinner and within thirty minutes the small restaurant filled up. We were the only non-Italians. I had a local fish dish and my wife had pasta with ragu. What we liked about Didu was the fact they are proud of serving very high quality family cooking with fresh ingredients. Nothing fancy but it was a restaurant full of hungry Italians who know good value. The high point? The owner has a deep lovely baritone voice. He stood in the middle of the restaurant and read off the chalk board for some guests who couldn't see too well. Everyone stopped talking. It was if we were transported onstage to a dinner scene in a village opera house. You'll enjoy your meal. Whitebeard83

What a nice way to finish 2016 and start the new year! The staff (I only remember Marco’s name) was really friendly and the food was exquisite! The finest assortment of meats and cold cuts, patés and foie gras, beautiful salmon rolls, tempura shrimps, blue cheese tartlet with caramelized pecan, polenta with truffles, pasta dishes, lentils and sausage, and the dessert was to die for. Most places would go cheap and make the most money out of you but they really surpassed themselves! The night was 70 euros per person, including white sangria, water, wine, Prosecco, Asti, coffee and after drinks. The sangria was excellent and the wine selection was beautiful!!! Great music to dance as well. The perfect night! I was really happily surprised and would definitely recommend that restaurant for dinner or next the New Year’s Eve dinner.

We ordered a menu for 35 Euros. The first course was a plate of smoked tuna and smoked swordfish- both were delicious. There was a fresh tomato garnish on top that was fabulous. Next course was Linguine and Clams,again, really tasty. The main course was Misto Fritto with many different types of shell fish and fish. Lemon sorbet and coffee for dessert. Our waiter was friendly and provided good service. We would definitely go back.

I went there more than once. Always the impression is the same: a very very good pizza, a wide selection also for the restaurant (especially desserts) and waiters are really friendly.
The restaurant has a dehor and it's forbidden to smoke also there, nice thing in my opinion.
Price is right. As I've read in other review...try the "Torta della nonna" dessert, is amazing!!!
They have also a good beer selection

Reviewed By lauramtorino - Turin, Italy
I was there for a birthday dinner, therefore the menu had been already decided. There were two appetizers, two first courses, main course and dessert. It is a fish restaurant, I don't know if they also serve meat. The food was good and well presented, the appetizers in particular quite unusual. The place is simple but pleasant and it has outdoor space which must be lovely in warm seasons.
