We were in Sanremo for the day and wandered into this cute restaurant. Best decision ever. The…read moreweather was gorgeous so we sat outside. The thing with alfresco dining in Europe, is that 99% of the time you will be among smokers. When you are a non-smoker and are trying to enjoy your meal, this can be really annoying. We arrived around 15:00 and the place was empty, so we had the outside area all to ourselves. For about 15 minutes. We, of course, were blessed by a chain smoker. No lie, she had a cigarette in her left hand and her fork in her right. And she would kindly turn her head and blow her smoke in our direction. I digress. Our server was super friendly and patient with my so-so Italian. They bring out a huge bread basket & olives to start. We each ordered the 20€ lunch menu. Pasta, dessert & wine. I had the Lasagna & my husband had the Trofie with pesto. The lasagna was delicious. It was served different than what we are used to, sort of cut up, but it was easier to eat this way. My husband's pasta was very good as well. For dessert we both ordered the house made Tiramisu which was absolutely delish as well. Then after we had inhaled our desserts, the came out with a plate of candies, truffles and yummy dark chocolate drops. We pretty much rolled ourselves out of there. An all around excellent meal with great service. We look forward to visiting Sanremo again and will definitely return to Vela d'Oro.

It is our first day in Sanremo and we randomly walked by and stopped in for dinner.. and I am so…read morehappy we did. If I could give this Italian Restuarent 6 stars I would. We sat outside and we're helped right away. We started with a salad and delicious baked bread with olive oil and balsamic my favorite! I ordered the lasagna and my hubby ordered the pasta with garlic and oil. Both were incredible. Like absolutely outstanding. Best lasagna I have EVER had I almost ate the entire thing. I had to stop myself. It was incredible I'm still dreaming of it. After our meal they gave us a complementary little desert bite which too was out of this world. 5 stars and not to mention so reasonable. We might even stop here again! If your in Sanremo you have to go here!!

We felt like absolute queens! My sister and I were on a dreamy trip through Nice, France, and…read moredecided on a spontaneous adventure--hopping on a train to Italy in search of the perfect plate of pasta. Once we got off the train, we realized it was quite a long walk to the restaurant, but the journey was completely worth it. The stroll through the scenic streets only built up our anticipation. As a true pasta enthusiast, I've tried my fair share of dishes, but this one easily tops the list--it was hands down the best pasta I've ever had. The noodles were incredibly fresh, the flavors rich and balanced, and every bite felt like pure comfort. What made the experience even more memorable was our waitress. She was the kindest woman--warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Her sweetness and thoughtful service turned an already amazing meal into something unforgettable. The drinks were perfectly refreshing, the ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, and the food... truly to die for. If I lived in Italy I would be here every single week no question!

We opted to sit inside but the outside patio is perfect for a meal. We started with the shrimp with mushrooms and corgette. The shrimp were tasty with a natural sweetness to them. A great start to the meal. Plus the drinks... super tasty and refreshing. Our waitress was more than amazing! She made suggestions that were spot on and explained everything so well. You get to choose your pasta and the sauce. With her recommendation, I got the ravioli with truffle cream. The ravioli was perfectly al dente and the truffle sauce was a great addition. No regrets! My sisters meal was delicious as well. So simple but so good! We were truly stuffed but had to get dessert. This was the best tiramisu I have ever had. Super light and fluffy, you felt like you were eating air. We also got the poached pear. I literally wanted to drink the juice from the melted ice cream and sauce form the pear. We also had an amazing local-ish wine. What a great experience! I can't recommend this place enough.

I don't use the term meal of a lifetime lightly…read more Our tour guide recommended this place. He is now my hero. I can't describe it without using the term perfect for everything. But let me put it this way. My son who is notoriously picky and has been a pain in the butt about food the whole trip went absolutely crazy for everything he ate here. He loved it to the point of giddiness. And mom and dad are calling this the meal of a lifetime. I mean I don't know for sure if there's better pizza in Italy. Maybe there is. If there is, take me to it. Because at this moment this is the best pizza I've put in my mouth. My wife swooned over the gnocchi in rosesse sauce and my son was in heaven over his ravioli. I tried both and the flavors are simply perfect. I may spend the rest of my life trying to top this meal. Or maybe I shouldn't and just accept that I found paradise for a foodie. And the view of the bridge and village was just perfect. Thank you to this place for giving me a memory I will treasure.

I'm American and when I visit these places it makes me sad to think how my country treats one another.

Unfortunately I noticed a lot of people slip through the cracks. A British couple next to us was almost completely ignored while an Italian family on the other side was lavished with attention. I always order the lobster linguine. But this time the lobster was inedible! Very disappointing! Nobody asks how is your meal while you're eating! We will return but hope for a better experience!

This is a must stop on you trip if your lucky enough to be in the area…read more The food and the service is really nice. We had fish, pasta, meat, etc.etc. About 7-8 courses in all. The sliced rare beef and potatoes where the best I've ever had.

Great service, food and you will not leave the restaurant hungry…read more I try to eat here at least once whenever I am in the area. I always order the "Menu degustazione" - a set menu with starters, pasta/gnocchi, secondi/ meat platter, cheese /dessert - coffee. The amount of dishes has varied from about 5-11 and it has always been enough food for everyone. In case you're not hungry you can also pick any of the other menus or single dishes - but it's more fun not knowing what the next plate will consist of. The food served is typical for the region and the menu tends to change from year to year. The wine accompanying the menu has always been delicious. The staff is attentive and service minded. If you are into trying the local Ligurian food then this place is strongly recommended.
