L'oa - ARENZANO

The catch of the day, turbot Ligurian style, was really special. The fish was really fresh. Their signature dessert, tarte tatin, is also worth a visit. Recommended!

We stayed in Arenzano for a few nights and had reasonable food but pretty poor service in other restaurants until we discovered this gem of a place on our final evening. Situated overlooking the small marina, it is away from the crowds and traffic free. We had an early evening dinner and the restaurant filled up as time passed so I would advise booking. The lady who served us (probably the owner) was cheerful, friendly and attentive. The food was great (best by a mile in Arenzano) we had a ravioli special (with swordfish and saffron) and then gamberoni in a spicy sauce with a side of grilled vegetables. It was all beautifully presented and very tasty. And to top it all, we had a great bottle of white wine for just €12. This place is highly recommended.

Passed by this place while stayed in Arenzano. Never had dinner there, but will definitely try next time we're there. Food looked amazing as much as we could see. We had coffee and it was great and also noticed very friendly staff.

It is probably the nicest restaurant around Arenzano. The place is really cozy, nice furniture, very well organized tables. Pretty good wine choice. Menu is complete, there are not so many plates available but it is much better than encyclopedic menus you ca find. Waiters are very kind, although if it is a very crowded night, expect delays in the service and to be honest this I did not appreciate. Quality is very good and prices are fair compared to quality, quantity and the place itself. Wine is good. Also the proprietor is really kind and comes to the table asking if everything is fine. Overall if you are looking for a place where you can eat fine fish, drink good wine and also be in a cozy environment, then this is the place.
