Awesome restaurant. Every course was amazing. We sat for about 20 minutes before having our drink orders taken, but ive noticed that service is a tad slower in Italy in general. No issue! Had the clam pasta. Best meal ive ever had. Try the apple pie too!

On our second night in San Margherita Ligure, we wanted to try another local fare restaurant and we happened to walk past this place the night before. From the outside the place had a good ambience and a reasonable crowd and so the food must be good. Reviews were consistent. Service was fast. Sommelier recommended a nice white. Overall we liked the food. The portions looked a bit smaller compared to pictures from other reviews eg anchovies were smaller and few in the salad and the grilled tuna seemed smaller in size and number. Having said that, we are small eaters and we enjoyed the quality of food and ambience.

Really good food, of course Italian style. Nice terrace in the backyard. Try the grappa at the end, you get a show with it!

We made a reservation through the Fork and received email confirmation, but when we got to the restaurant we were told that they don’t accept reservations online. We were still seated. We waited 30 minutes to see a menu. It took repeated asks to order and waiting another 20 minutes before someone took our order. We watched several other tables around us be seated, get food, eat and finish while we sat with table bread. It took an hour and a half from first being seated to get our wine, then another 30 minutes after that before we got our food. We’ve had long leisurely dinners in Italy and have no problem waiting, however the hostility and rudeness of the staff and unhappiness with our presence made for a incredibly bad experience. We wanted to order more bottles of wine and food but it didn’t seem possible. This storyline follows many similar stories on Google reviews as well. There was an incorrect meal brought that was corrected, long waits, rude staff, and general hostility to the customer. Would definitely NOT recommend coming here it truly ruined what would’ve been an otherwise lovely evening.

Everything here was great. Had a glass of the local white wine—light and crisp and perfect. The trofie pesto pasta was so good that my kids who don’t even like this sort of thing absolutely loved it. I also had the mixed seafood skewer and the shrimp and calamari were the best I’ve had in my life.

The sea bream with truffles Ligurian style may be an all time great dish! Truly amazing. The pizzas were outstanding. We ate there twice during our stay in SML-PF. The wait staff were incredible. Better than any restaurant in PF

Extremely indifferent to downright rude service. Food was fine but not special. I appreciate they were swamped and it is high season but (with a couple of exceptions) they do not make the guests feel welcome and that is a problem. The manager of the waitstaff (or perhaps owner?) was particularly “ugh, so annoyed that you’re here”.

Nice location, outside sitting possible. Really good kitchen. Fresh local dishes, fabulous pizzas. The fish was great. Only remark: the first greeting was not so friendly (we came to early, because children were hungry), at the first moment we did not feel welcome . But the young waiters were attentive and friendly later.

Good food in a fun place, but the service was terrible and completely disorganized. We waited nearly an hour to even get our drinks, and needed to get the waiter's attention multiple times to remind them we were waiting. And then, they completely forgot about one of the meals and had to be reminded again that we had been waiting for over half an hour for it.
