Alla farmacia

My wife and I travel to Liguria regularly and Alla Farmacia is a very special place we enjoy for dinner or lunch. The staff is wonderful, welcoming and caring for us as friends. The food is fresh and unique. The menu features new items daily based on high quality foods they find at the market. We love their antipasti, pastas vegetable dishes and meats. And, we always feel we get a great value. If you get a chance, go for dinner and sit outside. It’s a wonderful off-the-beaten-path setting in the old historic center of Ventimiglia Alta. Then enjoy a beautiful stroll and view from Ventimiglia Alta after dinner.

Delicious dinner. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Reportedly a great selection of wines: they claimed to have more than 300 labels, we ordered only one but we ended up being quite happy with it. Some very good ideas: caprese salad with peaches instead of tomatoes. A must try if you are in Ventimiglia’s old town and in search of a great meal.

Our favorite restaurant! We spent a month in Ventimiglia, and this is easily our favorite place. The food is fresh and simply well prepared. There is no set menu; it depends on what's in season. Prices were, if anything, cheaper than other restaurants in the area. That being said, everything was so tasty that we frequently ordered appetizers, wine, and desert on top of our meal. Even then, with a party of six, it was well worth it. Get there early as there is very limited seating. Expect to spend 2-3 hours eating and enjoying the evening. All seating at the time we were there was outside on the patio. There was music in the background and we enjoyed just watching the beat of the old town at night. I recommend the tartare, one of my favorite appetizers. Also, if available, we had brazed boar and it was so good we ordered a second serving, but roasted. It was falling off the bone. Absolutely delicious. I'm writing this review 3 months after our visit, because the experience is still on my mind. Thank you for hosting me and my family for dinner. You were the highlight of our stay in Ventimiglia.

Awesome restaurant. The owner Samuel is passionate about his work and entertain a wife choice of wines. Just tell him what you like and he ll find you a perfect wine to discover from Italy but also any other part of the world. The food is delicate and the cherry on the cake is the Jazz music which immerses you into a distinct space-time for a memorable moment.

Coolest place in town Walked into the place on our first evening in Ventimiglia. There is always nice music - mostly jazz - playing and the food is quite excellent. We had dinner here on three evenings and can not complain. Good wine, good food, cool music - what else do you need And yes - it’s not cheap, but life is short - let’s enjoy 🍾
