The decor is exactly what I wanted, exactly what I needed. The food was insane. Pasta with clams was literally perfect, mixed grill plate was also perfect. Our WINE holy shit that was perfect. We got a crème brûlée type vibe but it was kind of lemony. Also perfect. Everything was perfect and it just had such a genuine homey vibe. The waiters were so helpful and kind. Soccer match on the tv. Owner working at his bigass computer. Nice indistinct chatter. Genuinely the perfect dinner.

If you happen to find your way to one of the most beautiful seaside towns in Italy, do not miss…read morethis dining experience. I have now been twice while passing through on business. Benjamin (the owner) is quite a lively character, very welcoming, funny, and knowledgable about food and wine. Seafood is the obvious specialty and the variety is amazing. Hopefully you have a group large enough to try the antipasti sampler. The choices are too numerous to list or even remember. Some I recall, are stuffed mussels, swordfish carpaccio, baby octopus, anchovies in lemon, etc. The pasta courses we had on our most recent visit were squid ink ravioli stuffed with fish and sea urchin spaghetti (one of my most memorable pasta dishes EVER). They grill fish perfectly for second courses. I have no idea what else is on the menu as Benjamin simply asked if we liked this or that and away the evening went. I will return whenever I can!

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. A delight.

Our favorite was the seafood antipasti which came with almost a dozen small plates, each one better than the last. The rolled eggplant dish was also amazing. For our main course we had the risotto fruiti di mare and the branzino (sea bass) which were both delicious. Incredible to find such a fabulous restaurant in a tiny little town outside Lerici (recommended by a friend who knows the area very well).

We also tried the Cannelloni Ricotta Spinach w/ cream sauce. Three portions on the plate. It's was good but nothing over the top. We enjoyed dinner with two bottles of Chianti Classico.

They will bring you peanuts, chips, olives, and bread with your beverages. The only reason I didn't give it a five (5) is because the food wasn't fantastic as this establishment isn't set up for fine dining. We had the lasagna, and a caprese sandwich. Good but not great. We will definitely be visiting Bar Corona if we ever return!
