Roma

Over a century of history and several generations of the family make this restaurant a solid institution in inland Liguria. Generous seasonal cuisine linked to the local area and the produce of the family's vegetable garden and orchards is served in the airy, classically styled dining room. Homemade pesto, mushrooms and truffles, excellent meat tartare and steak, not to mention a section dedicated to fish. Highlights include chestnut lasagnette on a fondue made with local cheese, and the quintessential Ligurian vegetable soup. In addition to the menu, tempting specials arrive daily from the market. But the secret to this restaurant's enduring success is also its warm, family-style welcome, making it an essential stop when travelling through the Apennines.
