This is the first time trying Italian pizza. I had the Gusto picantee pizza and boy did it just melt in my mouth.
We ate here three times over four nights in Chiavari, it was that good. And it was our choice for our final Chiavari meal too! Convenient location in the centre, excellent pizza and pasta both. We recommend the Pizza Genovese, Pizza Quattro Formaggi (four cheese), Pasta allo scoglio, and Linguine Vongole.
Food is authentic. Taste of very good. The seafood pasta is one of the best I’ve tried!
I tried for the 1st time but this place is my friend's favourite place. For appetizer we ordered porcini fritte (Fried mushrooms), then the main courses are pizza with pesto genovese & mozzarella (), pizza with prosciutto & mozzarella, pizza marinara (my friend loves it ), and lastly for dessert we ordered panacota with caramel & panacota with frutti bosco (fruit jam). The atmosphere was nice, I was there on Friday night but it wasn't tourist season, so mostly the visitors are local tourists or local people and so it wasn't so crowded.but during summer, there are many tourists therefore the place is quite crowded and most of the time you need to reserve a table, you can also sit outside during summer. The price for pizza relatively low, for 1 round pizza only €6-10, the pesto pizza only €7/8 but for the appetizer or special menu of the day is pretty high €14-€20, the mushrooms that we bought was €14 per plate (could be for 2 people)
Real Italian food. Always good food when Italians eat there.
