TYPICAL LIGURIAN CUISINE RESTAURANT
GARDEN BETWEEN THE OLIVE TREES
AND RESERVED ROOMS
“The olive trees not only give us delicious oil but they shade us on summer days”.
As soon as the beautiful days begin, the garden/outdoor area of our agritourism restaurant becomes the chosen place for lunches and dinners. For lunch in the shade of olive trees, and not only, and for dinner under a starry sky you can taste our traditional Ligurian dishes.
If time does not allow it, but only in that case, our two internal rooms are ready to host you in an intimate and familiar environment.
We are a family-run business, we love to know and pamper our customers, which is why we only work on reservations and on small numbers.

REVIEWS
Few are the places with such attention to the customer, passion for the land and innovation / tradition of typical products. And don’t be fooled by the portions: you can repeat what you want!
Delightful place, sublime cuisine: the menu is fixed but it’s all so good and genuine that you couldn’t ask for more. The owner is very kind and very welcoming.
A truly suggestive location overlooking the sea. Quality cuisine in a family environment. Excellent value for money. I highly recommend it.

LE NAVI IN CIELO
A NAME, A FAIRY TALE
The little girl took her little brother’s hand and cautiously accompanied him, through the garden, to the Belvedere; they leaned against the railing smiling, because it was dark by now and they wanted to look at the moon, to count the stars. Their eyes widened in astonishment when they saw the ship, with its silver plumes and its colored lights, lightly furrowing the foam of the clouds: it went fast, with its load of stories and mysteries, and they pointed them excitedly with their finger. “Mum! Mother! “The child shouted enthusiastically.” Mom, come and see: there are Ships in the Sky (Le Navi in Cielo)! “
Is it a fairy tale? Yes, but not entirely
In front of our restaurant we see the vast sea of Imperia but beyond the promontory in front of us we see a stretch of sea with a smile shape that, on certain days and every night, merges with the sky.
Many years ago, our daughter Carlotta, just after the sunset of a late September day, was in the garden playing as usual, because the climate here is always mild.
Suddenly, all out of breath and with red cheeks of emotion, she rushed into the house shouting: “Daddy, Mom, come soon!” We asked her what had happened, and she replied with the astonishment of a 5 year old girl: “There is a ship in the sky!”
We have always seen cruise ships pass by, often looking at them with a bit of envy, but it took a child’s gaze to catch the poetry.
On the other hand, as fairy tales tell us, if only for the child the King is naked, it is right that for a child ships could be in the sky.
