San Marco 1957 - SESTRI LEVANTE

Beautiful location on the far end of Sestri Levante, which could be considered “off the beaten path.” We enjoyed the view and the cool evening breeze while dining. I was also able to practice my very broken Italian and the staff was patient with my attempts. The wine list was very extensive. We shared a bottle of Chianti, which I believe was reasonably priced. The star of the show was the appetizer my husband ordered. It was shrimp in balsamic served in a Parmesan crisp. It was outstanding. My husband also ordered a pizza and said it was on par with other pizza he’s enjoyed throughout Italy. I had the pasta with mussels in a red sauce. I like my pasta al dente, but my pasta was served very al dente (dare I say, crunchy . I still enjoyed the entree. We had an excellent dessert (from the dessert cart! of chocolate cake with orange. Overall, I’m glad we tried the restaurant.

Even though we went on Monday and there was no one else in the restaurant we had a great service and the ambience was cozy. The table next to the window with view of the gulf was beautiful. Do not miss the typical ligurian anchovies.

I love this restaurant. I have been coming here for years now, every time I m in town to dine here. I find their ichen to have improved throughout the years. I am fond of Pasta and their first courses are always my first choice: This time I tried a new entry: black ink spaghetti with clams and red probes plus chunks of burrata on top : triple A! For a change I had a oven cooked Branzibo a la Corinzia with veggies sprinkled with white wine.. yummy as well! I have to come back more often to Italy and to Sestri Levante! See you soon !

Cibo veramente ottimo, il cappon magro delizioso, il pesce freschissimo, il tutto accompagnato dalla cortesia del personale e dal proprietario Roberto un vero padrone di casa

Un luogo che non è fatto per le recensioni. Bisogna andarci e gustare il piacere del palata il fascino del luogo e la simpatia del titolare. Ovvio che bisogna essere altrettanto simpatici se no non vale.
