We were in Sanremo for the day and wandered into this cute restaurant. Best decision ever. The…read moreweather was gorgeous so we sat outside. The thing with alfresco dining in Europe, is that 99% of the time you will be among smokers. When you are a non-smoker and are trying to enjoy your meal, this can be really annoying. We arrived around 15:00 and the place was empty, so we had the outside area all to ourselves. For about 15 minutes. We, of course, were blessed by a chain smoker. No lie, she had a cigarette in her left hand and her fork in her right. And she would kindly turn her head and blow her smoke in our direction. I digress. Our server was super friendly and patient with my so-so Italian. They bring out a huge bread basket & olives to start. We each ordered the 20€ lunch menu. Pasta, dessert & wine. I had the Lasagna & my husband had the Trofie with pesto. The lasagna was delicious. It was served different than what we are used to, sort of cut up, but it was easier to eat this way. My husband's pasta was very good as well. For dessert we both ordered the house made Tiramisu which was absolutely delish as well. Then after we had inhaled our desserts, the came out with a plate of candies, truffles and yummy dark chocolate drops. We pretty much rolled ourselves out of there. An all around excellent meal with great service. We look forward to visiting Sanremo again and will definitely return to Vela d'Oro.

We sat outside and we're helped right away. We started with a salad and delicious baked bread with olive oil and balsamic my favorite! I ordered the lasagna and my hubby ordered the pasta with garlic and oil. Both were incredible. Like absolutely outstanding. Best lasagna I have EVER had I almost ate the entire thing. I had to stop myself. It was incredible I'm still dreaming of it. After our meal they gave us a complementary little desert bite which too was out of this world. 5 stars and not to mention so reasonable. We might even stop here again! If your in Sanremo you have to go here!!

The vine-covered terrace is lovely, the people are nice, the pasta is very good, the bread is homemade. The Osteria frequently offers live music (summer weekend nights), and other guests are often from all over Europe. It's a comfortable, laid-back place. Indoors, in cold weather, there's a fireplace.

We felt like absolute queens! My sister and I were on a dreamy trip through Nice, France, and…read moredecided on a spontaneous adventure--hopping on a train to Italy in search of the perfect plate of pasta. Once we got off the train, we realized it was quite a long walk to the restaurant, but the journey was completely worth it. The stroll through the scenic streets only built up our anticipation. As a true pasta enthusiast, I've tried my fair share of dishes, but this one easily tops the list--it was hands down the best pasta I've ever had. The noodles were incredibly fresh, the flavors rich and balanced, and every bite felt like pure comfort. What made the experience even more memorable was our waitress. She was the kindest woman--warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Her sweetness and thoughtful service turned an already amazing meal into something unforgettable. The drinks were perfectly refreshing, the ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, and the food... truly to die for. If I lived in Italy I would be here every single week no question!

We opted to sit inside but the outside patio is perfect for a meal. We started with the shrimp with mushrooms and corgette. The shrimp were tasty with a natural sweetness to them. A great start to the meal. Plus the drinks... super tasty and refreshing. Our waitress was more than amazing! She made suggestions that were spot on and explained everything so well. You get to choose your pasta and the sauce. With her recommendation, I got the ravioli with truffle cream. The ravioli was perfectly al dente and the truffle sauce was a great addition. No regrets! My sisters meal was delicious as well. So simple but so good! We were truly stuffed but had to get dessert. This was the best tiramisu I have ever had. Super light and fluffy, you felt like you were eating air. We also got the poached pear. I literally wanted to drink the juice from the melted ice cream and sauce form the pear. We also had an amazing local-ish wine. What a great experience! I can't recommend this place enough.

I ordered the ravioli which was incredible .. and my date ordered the vegetarian pizza. Both were out of this world. We will definitely go back! They even were playing live music!

Unfortunately I noticed a lot of people slip through the cracks. A British couple next to us was almost completely ignored while an Italian family on the other side was lavished with attention. I always order the lobster linguine. But this time the lobster was inedible! Very disappointing! Nobody asks how is your meal while you're eating! We will return but hope for a better experience!

Food was fresh, flavourful, and served in very generous portions. The service was fast, attentive, and very clever at convincing us to get desserts (without being pushy). We all felt satisfied and very happy with our meals. Highly recommend any of the pasta dishes, we had four different pastas and all were good. The calzone was gigantic and very generously stuffed with toppings and cheese.

The family that runs it lives in the village. Everything is authentic and delicious. It is a traditional Ligurian prix fixe multi course Italian meal - Antipasti, Primi, Secondi, dessert, espresso, wine - and the menu changes periodically. We have had multiple different pastas (including pesto, of course), vitello tonato, a beef dish, chicken - all excellent. Rabbit is a local specialty and had been on the menu but our daughter would be horrified if we ate "bunny rabbit" so we had to pass. The service is warm and attentive - by the chef/owner herself. Highly recommended!
