Ristorante I Piaceri Della Vita — Restaurant in Rapallo

Honestly not sure if I went to a restaurant or accidentally walked onto the set of a post-apocalyptic cooking show. The fish tasted like it had lived a full, stressful life and then retired in a compost bin. The lemon on the plate looked like it had been through a divorce. I’m not saying the ingredients were old, but I’m fairly sure the salad on top had a pension plan.

The place smells like someone tried to bottle the essence of a damp medieval dungeon and spray it as air freshener. Ordered dessert—some kind of "Rommie shoe" (I assume they meant tiramisu?)—took one bite and immediately questioned every decision I’ve made that led me to that moment. It was sour in a way that only betrayal and spoiled cream can be. They replaced it, but honestly, so would a haunted doll if you made it eat that.

The pasta? A wet beige tragedy. It was both overcooked and confused—like it had been emotionally boiled more than physically. I've seen more structure in jellyfish. I wouldn't serve that to my worst enemy, or even a mid-level acquaintance.

Bill came after I walked inside... We paid 18.50 for two glasses of wine and a bottle of water. The glasses were like 0.1L ... I do not recommend this restaurant, firstly for the behaviour and secondly for the scamming of people instead of being thankfull. No wonder that the...

I had high hopes for this place and loved the homemade cooking charm to it, the atmosphere is warm and vibrant. However, the waitress sat me at the very end and was completely not attentive, I didn’t want to be rude and wave them down but they rarely came over and checked so I went up there to ask for things and I believe she took offense to it, and when I asked for the bill, I tried to wave down the other waiters but couldn’t get their attention I went up again hoping to make their lives easier, and she was visibly unhappy. Calamari was good, pasta seafood was ok but the it could have used a bit more salt...
