"To start the view and the people were amazing. They serve a lightly fried bread with veggies in it before bringing out the meal. We had the mussels and a pasta. These were amazing and we did not leave a drop as everything was incredible. We stopped on a road trip. Definitely worth it!!!"

"The place is wonderful, nice beach and there is also a nice bar/restaurant/beach resort "la Ruggia" just in front of the sea! Wonderful!"

"La Ruggia is a fantastic spot for fish lovers – so good that we came back a second time during our stay in Varigotti. The mussels were outstanding, full of flavor, and the burrata-stuffed anchovies were just as impressive. The tuna tartar tagliolini was out of this world, and the devil fish was also excellent. On our second visit we had to order the mussels again, and also enjoyed the fried calamari with carrots and zucchini, which were light and delicious. For the main course we shared the catch of the day (dorado) for two, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The meal was rounded off beautifully with a tiramisu that was excellent. Both the beer selection and the white wine we had were also very good and paired perfectly with the dishes. The setting couldn’t be better – right on the beach, with the sound of the waves and a view of the sunset. Service was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. Truly a memorable dining experience and highly recommended."

"Amazing location looking over and almost on top of the beach. The staff were very friendly and not overly attentive- good knowledge of local wines, which was great. The food did not disappoint at all, delicious pasta, fresh fish, and tasty home made desserts."

"At La Ruggia, we enjoyed one of the most memorable happy hours of the trip. The terrace, with its breathtaking ocean views, set the stage for a truly elevated experience. We sipped hand-crafted cocktails that were as beautiful as they were delicious, made by bartenders who were both professional and genuinely friendly. The vibe was relaxed yet refined , a five-star experience in every sense, where the service, setting, and drinks all came together in perfect harmony."
