The food here is amazing, the services was just about perfect, if there were less tourists like me…read morethe service would probably be perfect, there were just too many people, so they would lag a bit (2-3min) with things we would ask for but the food itself and the friendliness of the servers was outstanding given the amount if people there. The ambiance there was very friendly. The pastas were some of the best I've had across Italy, and the the calamari was pretty good, as for the fish I liked it even though I'm a bit skittish of eating fish this way. i would recommend this redtaurant for anyone visiting. Maybe not the gold bier but the blond they have (8 ball) is pretty good.

We visited early March so it was the rainy season and most of the restaurants in the area were still closed for business. The restaurant was welcoming and had a steady stream of patrons. It appeared a lot of the locals eat here so that was very reassuring. The atmosphere was casual and friendly. We had these great little salted anchovies with toast and split a pasta with mussels. There was a very good pasta to seafood ratio in the dish. We left with a good impression and ate here again the following night. This time, we ordered a Cinque Terre wine, had the anchovies again and ordered the seafood soup which was kinda pricey. But what came to our table was definitely worth the price. I would describe it as a cauldron, yes it was that big, of every creature in the ocean. The broth reminds me of a really good ciopinno. There was mostly seafood in this dish consisting of mussels, giant shrimps, crab, chunks of fish, a whole octopus, etc. A wonderfully epic meal that became one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.

The food was good but the dishes were way overpriced. We got the raw seafood sampler to start and…read morefor 38 euro we were expecting a bit more than the single oyster, single red gambero plus a couple of scampi and a bit of tuna and white fish sashimi & tartar that we were served.

Without reservation I feel that Boccon Divino is the best restaurant in Chiavari.
