Ristorante Il Gambero Nero
About
Ristorante Il Gambero Nero, tucked away along the rocky cliffs of Tellaro di Lerici, delivers a soul‑stirring culinary experience that celebrates the bounty of the Ligurian Sea. From the moment you step inside, the warm, rustic décor, nautical accents, and panoramic sea views transport you to a seaside trattoria the way it was meant to be. Master chefs Franco and Enrico curate a menu that balances traditional Ligurian flavors with fresh, seasonal ingredients, showcasing succulent shellfish, perfectly grilled fish, and indulgent seafood risotto. Each dish is paired with a selection of local wines, especially their house‑made Vermentino, ensuring a harmonious dining pair. The restaurant welcomes guests daily for lunch from 13:00 to 14:30 and for dinner from 20:00 to 21:30, offering both indoor and al fresco seating. High chairs are available for families, and the staff—beyond the welcoming host Beniamino—attends to each table with personalized service. Located just steps from the pier, diners can enjoy the gentle sea breeze while relishing the freshest catch and a welcoming Italian ambience. Whether you’re a local, a beach‑goer, or a foodie exploring the Gulf of Poets, Il Gambero Nero promises an authentic taste of Ligurian hospitality that will linger in your memory long after the last bite.
