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.

The staff was warm and inviting since the second we walked in. The overall ambience was entertaining with the mix of music that was being played (salsa, bachata, latin top 100) and the tables were spaced apart for privacy. For my appetizer, I had the Seafood Antipasti. It was delicious and a great mix of local catches. It had sardines, oysters, and a stuffed seafood and cream empanada. My only dislike was I wished I had more haha. The Trofie di Pesto was downright delicious and well cooked. The only reason I can't give them five stars, is because it was pricy compared to other places and the portions given were a bit small. Despite this, I recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner with a partner.

We booked ahead, but actually besides us there was only one other table that night (a weekday). It's a comfy, cosy place with a nice courtyard. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. We ordered the fried seafood and the octopus meatballs for starters. A bottle of Pigato (white) with the meal. The fried seafood was really nice. Tasted fresh and crispy. A good mix of different fish and seafood. The octopus meatballs were very disappointing. Didn't taste fresh unfortunately and had a strong flavour. Not sure it wasn't very fresh or just frozen. We love seafood, but this wasn't it. For the mains we chose the Pesto Gnocchi and Shrimp Risotto. The Gnocchi were pretty good, the Pesto was ok. The shrimp in the Risotto were really nice, but the rice for our likings a bit overcooked - we do enjoy a bit more bite. The wine was nice though. Pigato is always a good choice. The food was a bit on the disappointing side then. We had higher expectations, and this town has so many choices of restaurants. Not sure it was a slow day or we were just a bit unlucky that day. The reviews are very good - but not our experience. That said, I have to point out that our waiter was fantastic. A really nice guy, took care of us very nicely. That was really great. And the prices are fair too.

And we asked a local walking around town, and she also gave us 2, including Cucu, which made it an easy decision to check it out. They had a few tables inside, but all the tables were full or had a reservation. So we grabbed the only table for two that was left, outside. We started out with the Burrata and 2 glasses of wine. I ordered the Chateaubriand and my wife ordered the Pappardelle pasta with white beef sauce. We then finished, of course, with a tiramisu , which we shared. I do not think we could have made a better choice. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. And the bill was like a 50 spot , unbelievable. Camogli is a beautiful town along the Ligurian sea.
