But, this place, and its staff was simply our favorite!!! Luigi, who served us then, is still there! That says something about the people and this place. If you happen to find yourself in Chiavari and want a drink, stop by…you won’t be disappointed. OOOHHHHH….. and the snacks they give you…mama Mia!!! The hot fresh French fries are incredible!!! You’re welcome!

As soon as you enter, you're immersed in an atmosphere of times gone by: elegant, refined, authentic, with refined spaces that exude history, tradition, and meticulous attention to detail. It's the ideal place at any time of day: perfect for a quality breakfast, a coffee break, an elegant aperitif, or even a bite to eat. The menu is extensive and consistently top-notch, with truly exquisite products and top-quality ingredients. You immediately sense that nothing is left to chance, from the selection of wines and gourmet products to the attention to service and ambiance. The aperitif is rich, enjoyable, and beautifully presented, in a historic and elegant setting that makes everything even more special. Even just sitting here for a coffee or a drink means enjoying a unique experience, in a place with charm, personality, and a strong identity. Obviously, it's not cheap, but honestly, the price is justified by the overall quality: a historic location, excellent products, an elegant atmosphere, and top-notch service. In my opinion, it's absolutely worth it. A historic venue worth preserving and promoting, highly recommended both for those passing through Chiavari and for those looking for a refined break in a truly special place. A 5-star experience.
