La Campagnola - CHIAVARI

Came by chance and discovered a gem. Attracted by the view (the whole Tigullio gulf at your feet and you outlook Portofino, the crown jewel of Liguria) we discovered a homemade cuisine which is second to none, warm and charming atmosphere, a blistering fast service. The owner (Daniela) a true Ligurian women strong and sweet, is full of energy and likes talking with customers. We went by chance but will always come back when around. Worth a detour just for the sake of this place..

Only restaurant in walking distance of our accommodation. Definitely home made and home cooked local food. Relatively short menu and we shared a sea food ravioli with our little group and its was ample and very tasty. Then the highlight of the baked Sea Bass on sliced potatoes which was excellent; you can get this in many trattoria but in this case the potatoes were properly cooked in olive oil and some nice and crispy. Seafood skewers (minus the skewers) of baby squid, baby octopus and shell on prawns were cooked on a BBQ/grill and again perfectly cooked. Deserts home made, wouldn't allow us to try the apple strudel as it was made a day ago so had the pine-nut flan which again was excellent. We spoke little Italian and the lady serving us no English but still managed to have a laugh and get what we wanted. House (della Casa) wine is most acceptable and silly cheap.. Not sophisticated place but sort of homely, would go again.

Good. returned after a year, on holiday is a stop that should not be lost. excellent home appetizers, pansoti with walnut sauce at the moment, exceptional pine cake. in the company of the very beautiful owner and the beautiful view. sincere price. Have a good lunch!

Trattoria with view on san pietro de oakto and tigullio. family environment and friendly staff. great fish, good white wine of the house.

All good from the first to dessert and then perfect owner
