The story
Perched on a hillside overlooking the Gulf of Varigotti, Rosita is a family-run hotel and restaurant where the kitchen is driven by tradition, not trends. The dining room benefits from a sea-view terrace and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere – the kind of place where the owner still cooks the food and the sommelier personally selects every bottle.
The cuisine is Ligurian through and through, rooted in home-style recipes and the region’s finest ingredients. Owner Dino oversees the kitchen, turning out dishes built around fresh local fish, seasonal vegetables from the garden, and the fragrant herbs that define Ligurian cooking. The menu changes with the catch and the harvest, but always stays close to tradition. Patrizia, the sommelier, curates a wine list focused on small artisanal producers from Liguria and beyond, guiding guests toward pairings that respect the simplicity and freshness of the food.
This dedication to authentic Ligurian cuisine – honest, unpretentious, and ingredient-driven – has earned Rosita an annual mention in the Michelin Guide. For anyone exploring the Riviera di Ponente, it offers a genuine taste of the region without the fuss.
