The story
Perched within the Hotel Miramare & SPA, the Ristorante Baia del Silenzio enjoys one of the most coveted settings in the Gulf of Tigullio: a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea—the very bay it is named after.
The restaurant’s character is distinctly Gourmet, expressed through both its à la carte offerings and tasting menus. The kitchen, led by the team of chefs, focuses on absolute flavour. Ingredients are sourced fresh and seasonal from the land and sea of the Riviera di Levante, grounding the menu in the traditions of Contemporary Italian and Ligurian cuisine.
A particular point of distinction is the restaurant’s innovative approach to meat. They specialise in dry-aged cuts, using the “dry aged” technique to deepen and concentrate flavour. This commitment to technique and quality across all ingredients is what has earned Baia del Silenzio a place on the Michelin guide, a recognition that speaks to the consistent, thoughtful cooking served here.
The experience goes beyond the plate. Floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor seating area put the water at the centre of the meal, while the interior stays cool with air conditioning. The restaurant also caters for private parties, events, and offers a curated tasting menu for those who want to explore the chef’s vision. A bar, breakfast service, and Wi-Fi round out the setting.
For a taste of the Ligurian coast that balances refinement with a direct connection to its surroundings, Baia del Silenzio is a quiet benchmark in Sestri Levante.
