We are in Liguria, the land of best pesto in the West. the sea bream was fresh and that's it, when you serve fresh, grilled fish there's not much else to add in terms of additional ingredients. Dessert was hazelnut semifreddo with dark chocolate poured on top. The best thing I ate here. San Terenzo is a borough of Lerici, everything is set in the Gulf of Poets: this is where Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and many English New Romantics spent years, enchanted by the beauty of these surroundings. Out we went to enjoy the sun, watch the sea, the seagulls, the sailing boats and people go by.

Ambiance and Food are Great…read more Wonderful seafood and pasta, and a lovely, friendly family ambiance. This is one of two restaurants in Lerici recommended by relatives who spend several months a year in the area. These family-owned places are so welcoming and friendly and the seafood is so fresh. Terrific risotto. A perfect place for a truly Italian experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world.

They do have outdoor seating but we loved eating indoors with the cooling effect of the stone building. The service was outstanding!! They had a pre fixed meal but we opted for a la carte. We loved the sparkling wine we started with. It was a brut nature. There were 4 of us so we just shared everything. We started with the prawn carpaccio, it was amazing!! Everything we ordered was delicious but our hands down favorite was the black truffle ravioli. The rabbit tortellini had a lovely red sauce and I don't even like red sauce! It was so good!! That was our second favorite. The pappardella was the last to come out and it was also amazing. The gnocchi was tender and delicious as well. The seafood in it was tender and perfectly cooked. While we may have had favorites it did not decrease the deliciousness of every single thing we ate!! We only ordered one main, and it was the best duck breast we've ever had anywhere!! We also ordered two desserts, which were great. One was a deconstructed tiramisu and the other a pistachio semifreddo. Highly recommend this restaurant for service and food!!

The seafood is fresh and excellent -- we simply followed the advice of our waiter about what was best that day. A spinach side or salad was a nice complement to the main course. Wine selection was very nice. There are several good restaurants in San Terenzo and Lerichi and this is one of them, with a nice location. Relatives live several months a year in San Terenzo and they recommended this restaurant highly.
