Paolo e Barbara
The only Michelin one-star restaurant in central Sanremo, run by a husband-and-wife team for nearly 40 years, cooking with produce from their own gardens, vineyards and olive groves.
Located at 47 Via Roma, holding one star in the 2026 Michelin Guide Italy. Chef Paolo Masieri and his son Lorenzo run the kitchen, growing vegetables and herbs in Ospedaletti and Castel Vittorio, making their own wine and extra virgin olive oil from the Nervia Valley. Sommelier Barbara leads the dining room and knows Ligurian wines well. The cooking centres on local seafood. Signature dishes include Sanremo red prawn cappelletti with vegetable broth and saffron, snails with cream of twelve wild herbs, and cappon magro, which the Gambero Rosso guide calls 'magnificent' with its large red prawns. The nine-course 'Suggestioni' tasting menu costs about €110 and is served at dinner only, so reservations are essential.
