The Michelin Guide's review
From Andora, one climbs up the hill along a series of hairpin bends and then, having left the car in the car park, the path continues to the restaurant. Vineyards facing the sea, olive groves and maritime pines in a lush corner of Liguria form the backdrop to Vignamare, created by recovering an abandoned and unused 1970s cistern. In fine weather there is a wonderful panoramic terrace, otherwise a modern wood-panelled dining room. The talented chef Alessandro Di Giacomo, originally from Caserta, has - recently - taken the reins of the kitchen, offering two tasting courses of 7 and 9 courses, not forgetting a totally “green” one. The technique is refined and the elaborations are very Mediterranean, gathering impeccable products and raw materials from the Ligurian land (most of them coming from the vegetable gardens and farms of the PEQ Agri farm, of which the restaurant is part). Obviously the Campania touch is evident in the menus, such as the courgette alla scapece or the excellent tortelli alla genovese. The Sunday brunch on their panoramic terraces is interesting.
