A modern trattoria with old-world charm, the Osteria dai Pippi is located in the heart of borgo marina from over twenty years and is very popular with the people of Imperia.
The service is efficient and the welcome warm, the chef is experienced and creative. The ingredients of sea and land typical of Ligurian cuisine are combined with products from the various Italian regions, always with originality.
IThe menu always changes because it depends on the supply of fresh produce, the course of the seasons and also the ongoing research of the chef. Our advice is to rely on the staff and let them take you on a surprise tour that will not disappoint either on the food side or on thepairing with wines.
In their own words: "We are not starred, we do not have an à la carte menu, Chef Ivano likes to call himself an amateur cook. We are neither set nor combed ... We are restaurateurs who put our whole heart into what we do, even managing to bring a smile to your face.".
Fancy a sweet treat? For a slightly special breakfast or snack, we recommend a brand new bar-patisserie in the centre of Oneglia, a few steps away from Piazza San Giovanni.
You can choose a cake or a tray of pastries to take away, or stop by the small, cosy cafeteria area and taste their different and tasty single portions accompanied by a nice cappuccino.
You will find sweets made with modern processingfrom mirror icing to velvet icing, but also the more traditionalsuch as cream puffs, meringues or tarts, through to artisanal brioche, biscuits and dry pastries.
From centre of Oneglia, walking in the direction of the sea, you will find yourself on the harbour quay called Calata Cuneo.
Along this walk follow one another one after the other many restaurants for all tastes and price rangeseach with its own outdoor terrace and its own culinary offerings: pizzerias, fish and meat restaurants, places for aperitifs or after-dinner drinks.

In the heart of Borgo Marina, perfect location for a nice walk on the pier after dinner.
La particolarità del menù è il "giropizza": ordinate da bere e per il resto della serata vi verranno proposte, una dopo l'altra, pizze o piatti di pasta da condividere con il resto del tavolo. Se una proposta non vi attira potete sempre saltare il giro e aspettare la prossima.
Con questa formula assaggerete tante ricette diverse, la soluzione perfetta per chi è sempre indeciso su cosa ordinare!
All'entrata di questa gelateria troverete quasi sempre la fila, ma vale la pena aspettare qualche minuto perché il loro gelato ha un gusto speciale.

Take the opportunity for a nice walk along the waterfront of San Bartolomeo al Mare, a pretty town between Imperia and Diano Marina!
A beautiful seaside restaurant, if you book a little in advance you can grab a table on the beach and enjoy a classy dinner with your feet in the sand and the waves as a soundtrack.
The cuisine is unique and innovative, a fusion of tastes and cues from different traditions, from Mediterranean to Japanese cuisine, from meat to fish or vegetarian options. The desserts are the highlight of the menu, to be enjoyed until the last spoonful.
In a seaside town like ours all artisan ice cream parlours offrono gelati di qualità e non rimarrete mai delusi.
However, we want to highlight this small workshop in the centre of Borgo Marina, che ci piace particolarmente perché offre una varietà di gusti between creams and fruits, including several plant-based alternatives.
Così potrete gustarvi un ottimo gelato anche se siete vegani o preferite evitare i latticini!
