The restaurant
In 1953 the restaurant was opened by Nadia's mum, and in 1992
it was restructured. It offers place for about 40 persons.
The prepared dishes are simple and homemade. We recommend
you to book in time, and to eventually specify the dishes
which are only prepared on request.
The village
Lavaggiorosso - 281 meters
Already 1,000 b.Chr. the first habitants live in this village.
Together with Chiesanuova it is one of the valley's most antique
villages. The village has been constructed behind a mountain
in order to be protected against pirates. The church goes
back to 1600, and also most of the houses are constructed
in this period. The local products are olives, salted anchovies,
wine and oil.

The
Inn
|
|
|
In
Lavaggiorosso you can find the antique inn "Zita", a
simple restaurant on the top of the valley managed by
a very nice family who is able to combine kindness with
more than favorable prices.
The Starters are the house's specialty.
All of them are homemade, and they are served with excellent
sauces. The portions are gigantic …
Delicious also the main courses like e.g. rabbit with
pine-seeds and stuffed mussels.
But the inn's menu is dominated by the dishes based
on meat, and by the really genuine local red and white
wine.
After lunch it is possible to take a walk in the nearby
wood, enjoying silence and peace.
After dinner you can admire the light myriad of the
valley of the Gulf of Levanto - the night here is very
beautiful and extraordinary, and it seems that one is
able to touch the stars, lengthening a hand.
