Parlapà Bottega con cucina

Second time we are here and we really enjoy Parlapà Bottega con cucina. The food is absolutely delicious, it feels like they have put lots of love into it. Then we have the wines, “fantastic” 🤗 It resulted in us going to the winery they recommended.

Wonderful! We followed the reviews and were rewarded. The restaurant is spacious, clean and every dish was explained really well by Lorenzo the chefs son. The food is regional but varied and given enough creative twist to make it unique without being pretentious. The stuffed baby squid (pictured) was delicious … I enjoyed mine so much that I didn’t photo anyone else’s. Every plate was licked clean. This is heaven for food lovers, but not people who want their tuna well-done…

Our first night in Moneglia and we happened upon Parlapa for dinner. Had a wonderful meal of seared tuna with pistachio crust and the pasta with walnut sauce, both were fantastic! Asia was super sweet and explained the dishes very well! Definitely recommend Parlapa!!

Wonderful family-owned restaurant with “twists” on local classics. We had an incredible experience—our waiter was the family’s son, who, along with his father (the sole chef) provided warm, friendly, charming service while we ate one of the best meals of our Italian adventure. The menu is small—a good sign if you’re a seasoned traveler—the specials are extensive and creative.

An excellent restaurant, with great service and attention to detail. We would defiantly recommend.

On a separate occasion we also had breakfast here which again didn’t disappoint.

This place is special! The little town of Moneglia has lots of nice restaurants. 3 or 4 are outstanding and this is one of them. Unprepossessing and quite dark to look at, set back from the front street, the menu is small but instantly stands out as not your average fare. We shared anchovies on seaweed bread to start. Good. Then we both had pistachio crusted tuna. Excellent. We hardly ever have desert but we’re intrigued by the description of egg nog custard with the hazelnut cake. Oh my! I am an English woman and can make proper custard - this was quite simply the best I’ve ever had. The house white was very good and our waitress spoke excellent English and was very pleasant. Go here if you like very good food.

The maybe best cacio é pepe i have ever eaten. I can't emphasize this enough. Cacio é pepe is one of my most loved italian dishes. Simple and not very forgiving while cooking. This one had the perfect consistency and a great taste. The restaurant choose to combine it with a smoked tuna sauce. Both together hit me out of nothing. Just marvellous and amazing.

The main course came along with a great entrance and a very unique desert. The white housewine was astonishingly distinguished and had some great character.

Our server was the nicest, she fulfilled every wish of our group of very allergic and partly vegan people while speaking great english.

Srsly: go here its an experience you don't want to miss.

We enjoyed our dinner extremely, especially the tuna with pistaccio crust!
Thanks for the amazing meal and the kind and friendly service.
A bit expensive, but absolutely worth it!

We had breakfast twice at Parlapa! The staff is really friendly and the food is great. Real Italian coffee, a very tasty homemade cake and the eggs with bacon are perfectly simple and tasty. This is definitely a nice restaurant. When we come back to Moneglia, we will try dinner for sure.

Wonderful host and staff. The menu changes every day and you can’t go wrong. Everything is delicious. We will certainly be back.

A nice experience with very delicious food and good service.
We eat tuna and iberik meat, and some desserts, all of them were so good :)

Amazing food and wine! Best restaurant in Moneglia. Highly recommend!

Food is amazing and their menu is really well designed. Great wine selection.

The ownership is a family and they provide really loving service. You can tell they find amazing ingredients, well prepared.

Highly recommend, can be both casual and higher-end depending on your mood and budget.

Very nice place, excellent food (tuna in pistachios!) very kind service. Highly recommended to visit.

The food and wine was delicious, and the service was amazing. Recommended for a great dinner!

Very good food, super friendly service and nice atmosphere. Also top variety of wines and the prices are suitable.

Spectacularly fresh and delicious seafood and meat. Best restaurant in Moneglia (and best in our trip so far) offering fresh seafood, cooked in delicate and tasteful ways. We enjoyed the oysters, mussels, catch of the day, beef, anchovies, ravioli, salad, tiramisu, and peach dessert. We even got prosciutto and a bottle of wine to go. It was simply delicious and we will go back for lunch before we leave!

THE most fantastic place to eat in Moneglia. Family is passionate about not only wine but the home made food is just terrific. My daughter had ravioli genovese (us jealous because she had eaten everything). We had oyster appitizer, duck breast with peach and tuna with pistachio crost. We could not wish for more!

We went there without having a reservation and we got a cute table outside. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The staff let you feel welcome from the first second.
The food was amazing and has great quality. Some fish dishes are local and a specialty and the price is very fair.
We definitely come back! :)

Tasteful Ligurian food with a twist served with a cold red local wine. As everything seems to be possible here, also suitable for vegetarians and vegans, just ask the staff! Very kind and helpful with a lot of passion for good food. Probably the best restaurant in Moneglia. Price is for starter, main dish, dessert (ganz geile Tiramisu), two red wine and a bottle of water (and coperto).
