The story
In the hills above San Remo, the village of Pigna is home to Terme, a family-run trattoria that has been a destination for honest Ligurian cooking for more than five decades. The kitchen favours straightforward preparations, letting the quality of local ingredients speak for itself.
That consistency has not gone unnoticed. For 17 consecutive years, Terme has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, a mark of good-quality, good-value cooking. In the 2026 edition of the guide, only 12 restaurants in all of Liguria received this distinction. It is a testament to the restaurant’s ability to satisfy both visiting critics and the regular customers who return again and again.
The spirit behind the stove is that of a self-taught cook who, through perseverance and humility, has built a loyal following. The Cuoco Rossi Gloria certificates explicitly reward this kind of quiet, day-by-day mastery.
Terme offers outdoor seating for warmer months and has its own parking, making it an easy stop for anyone exploring the Ligurian hinterland. The result is a restaurant that embodies the best of Ligurian dining: unpretentious, deeply flavourful, and anchored in place.
