Amazing as always! You will leave with a full belly!!! We have been here too many times to count and we will continue to go back! The food is fresh and homemade and super tasty! (Kilometre zero) The owners are the nicest people! They make you feel like family! Great price too. Can’t complain about anything! Super chilled out place. Highly highly recommend!!!!

The food was just incredible, everything from the pasta to the cheese homemade!!!! We had a great experience and a beautiful dinner here! Everyone very nice!!! But the food speaks for itself!!! 5* Great! Highly recommend a visit! You don’t pick what to eat they serve you what is fresh and homemade and so tasty!!!! (They check on the phone when you book if you have allergies or anything). Little bit of a different experience to your typical restaurant, this is like going to eat at a friends house!!! Honestly great food!!!!!!! Great price! Can not wait to go back !!!! Risotto, pasta, cheese, lard, meat, dessert .... fantastic!!!!! We Loved it!!!

This was a wonderful discovery. A delightful welcome from a family run b&b on a working farm. It's high up above San Lorenzo with the most spectacular views of the bay and mountains. The price you pay is a drive up a steep road with equally spectacular hairpin bends... not for the fainthearted! If you're not arriving by car, the owners (who only speak Italian and some French) will pick you up. There are two rooms in a recently built house at a short distance from the farmhouse. Very well equipped with air con, spacious room with a kitchen area and a terrace overlooking the bay. The room at the top has the best view, and waking up in the morning with the sunrise is quite special. Meals are in the communal dining room, with hikers walking the many trails of the Portofino National Park and locals often stopping for a hearty, home made dinner using many of the ingredients produced on the farm. With a good wine, an eight course dinner was still only €20 a head! Particularly memorable were the delicate slices of beef from the farm's long horn Highland cattle herd. All this for €80 a night!

We booked a seventh advance to celebrate my son's birthday with his grandparents and uncles. on arrival he waited for us a surprise, that is, they waited for us the beauty that when we booked they also asked us a mobile phone for an event (bho because you ask me and then you do not hate it but go). However they have quickly remedied we have been welcomed I have to say benign, of course punctuating several times that we were wrong because we did not confirm that however the call of the reservation did not seem to need a confirmation but it is okay. the place is like me I remembered that I have already been a few years ago, I have to tell the rustic squealousy with the r capital i.e. courtyard with cattle, in little and nothing cured but good food and past the initial impact of all this then enjoy a place all in other times. It is clear that you eat robbery made and produced on site, so much of hair, but a small contour, that is well-educated staff would not ruin and I do not refer to the type mr italo, and a handful of care in place that meschinetto needs a dusted occasionally. I would like to say that I am curious to return once I preach and counter-book a thousand times of course to be able to give an objective judgment now as now seen all the unpredictable I would say a very special place.

In a place surrounded by olive trees, on the heights of the sacred Ligurian daisies, there is this farm where the owners honestly profess km0. for the first time we found ourselves in front of a real farm, where we could have got cooked local dishes enhancing its freshness and authenticity. We start with a rich appetizer of vegetables and meat salad, we continue with some goose fettuccina to pesto and potatoes and then we end with a rich grill of meat of cattle bred by them. the goto on the palate is priceless! to reward the frankness with which the kitchen is managed, highly recommended.
