“ Was a really beautiful location up the mountain with parking next to the restaurant looking down on the valley. There wasn't a lot of communication but we sat down, chose a wine and were then treated to A LOT of amazing food. It was a set menu and we took what we got and it was very tasty. You can ask for smaller portions if it's too much. The service was quick and they were all very lovely. Thank you so much for a very special evening. ”
“ The best dining experience in Italy, and I’ve visited this country several times. Enjoyed the evening so much, that didn’t even had time to make any photos. Food was amazing, and the people hosting us were so kind and warm - as a nice contrast against all the touristy places visited before. All my best recommendations! ”
“ From the minute we sat down the staff Ristorante Pepen did everything they could to make our visit special. The meal consisted of 6 appetizers 4 main dishes and 1 desert. Everything they brought to us was authentic and absolutely delicious. This was the best food we had eaten in 7 days traveling from Venice, the Dolomites and Lake Como. It is well worth the drive from the city. Highly recommended!! ”
“ We highly recommend this place, though it might seem expensive 35/pers, (it's a fix menu) it totally worths the whole experience, there are like 5 aperitif, 2 main courses, 2 second courses, 1 dessert. The food is DELICIOUS, local, tipicaly ligurian, fresh and enough for anyone :). The service is great, the waiter even explains for those who are interested how one dish is made, if you want to reproduce it home. Wonderful, don't have second thoughts! P.S. go hungry! ”
