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.

From helping us pick our meal to treating us like a special guest everything was better than expected. We rarely eat at a hotel restaurant because typically they are awful, but this one is very special. The food was a work of art but also tasted fabulous. The view from the restaurant was spectacular. We ordered a chocolate ball dessert that was out of this world. Truly a restaurant that is worth the price.

When we returned, we were told issue resolved and there is hot water. Well, no hot water at all the second morning.

Not a fan of cold showers at 5:30 AM. ‍

Olimpo is the restaurant in the Hotel Vis a Vis. First of all, the views are AMAZING! Second to…read morenone. The indoor part of the restaurant has 180 degree views. One side looks at the mountains, one side the beach, and one side the bay (these are the views at the hotel and roof top pool, too, by the way). Just magnificent. Also, the restaurant has easy access from the pool, so you can grab lunch in your bathing suit while taking a break from the pool. The food was solid, but didn't compare to the best restaurants in Sestri Levante. We ordered three dishes, all pastas, and split them. We ordered: - Penne with tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and basil: very basic and kind of bland dish. The tomatoes seemed fresh, but the cheese was scarce and the sauce wasn't anything special. It just tasted like basic tomato sauce. No deep flavors and just boring. This dish was also super small, which was frustrating for 15 euros. - Spaghetti with pesto: very tasty dish but not as complex and interesting as the same dish we have had in other restaurants close by. - Spaghetti with clam sauce: this was the highlight of the meal. The clams were already taken out of the shells, which was odd since this dish is usually served with full clams, but they tasted fresh. The sauce was full of flavor, even if not the best we have had in the area. The dishes ranged from 15 to 18 euros and were relatively small (especially the penne), but overall a decent meal. The town is just a few minutes walk, and you're better off going to the best restaurants there for a great meal.
