I have always been a fan of castles and fortresses and I won't miss the chance to visit this one! You could enter the fortress without having to pay except for the museums and the current film viewing at night. At the top you could see the cityskyline and the sea! We went to one of the museums and the entrance costs 5 eur (entire price) or 3 eur (discounted price) per head. The receptionist is accomodating and well-informed of the things showcased inside the museum.

Impressive walkthrough citadelle, no entrence fee, the kids liked it. Nice to break up driving before hopping onto the ferry to Corse.

Such a nice castle! Impressive! It’s immense and wonderful!

When we arrived in Savona, we did not expect to see such a wonderful fortress, an incredibly beautiful place for a walk. Entrance is free. Despite the fact that the fortress has a toilet in its corners, it sometimes stinks of urine, which is disappointing but does not spoil the impression.

Beautiful fortress nice city view from top

This place is too touristy and "trampled" to be a good place for tourists to visit. But, if you love old castles and everything connected with them, you can certainly visit it. From the top there is a good view of the city and port.

A neat place and easily reached frim anywhere in Savona. Not crowded, so you really get to enjoy the fortress and its views. Always astonishing to see something this old yet in such good conditions. Respect to the keepers here. The view over the town, the Sea and the beach is just beautiful.

A fantastic museum! Apple computers have transcended time — a brilliant masterpiece by Steve Jobs! Highly recommended! The staff are very friendly and showcase true Italian gentlemanly charm!

Personally, it was really amazing to experience the history of Apple. Most of the computers was switched on and functional even after many decades of aging. There was even the Apple 3 with the console demonstration from the 80's, that means you can write code on a 38 year old computer that still works! Best experience and display of technology. Would visit again.

Absolutely fascinating to find this museum. It's a great place to see (we came in right next to it from the cruise ship port) - especially if you're a fan of Apple (products, history, brand) or Steve Jobs. It's so unusual but also unique. Very fun to look at and play with the computers/pieces. The only thing we wished was that they had a better merch store/gift shop. We would have loved to get a souvenir but the tshirts and mugs were not great. Overall we loved it and would recommend!

This was a really cool place! Really shows the history of apple computers. Had some great information on each device.

Wonderful place for computer and specifically apple lovers everywhere

Nice and small museum for when you're nearby and a lover of Apple or of history. There are actual old computers you can try out, not too many though, and there's an app for both Android and iPhone, but it didn't work on both of my androids unfortunately. It's a little difficult working with the compulsory gloves and all.

A truly amazingly museum both for an Apple-lover and for any fan of computer history. Almost all of the systems on display (including classics like Apple II and rarities like Apple Pippin) are turned on and can be interacted with. Right next to the cruise terminal.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better

The tower of Savona. You can't miss it if you are near the sea or in the town centre. This historic landmark is woth a photo and a quick look. Lots of restaurants nearby and right next to the port where the cruise ships visit frequently. I love Savona!

Very cool tower in savona.

A beautiful landmark in Savona!

Beauty

Molto bella! Id write some more stuff but my Italian sucks hard✌

Nice view of the sea port, an international shipping centre

Apparently, the museum is open this night ('notti bianche'), so it's closed during daytime. This is hearsay, nothing is indicated on the building or information. Join the club of disappointed tourists in front of the building! Museum staff: please place a sign with information, do not disappoint and disrespect your customers like this.

This museum is a gem and warrants a trip to Savona on its own. The mix of ceramics from hundreds of years ago with artefacts by contemporary artists is ideal. The collection is not overbearing and allows for a delightful stroll lasting an hour or more. The staff of the museum shines with kindness and the shop offers a small range of nice little things to buy.

Museo a-la Provinceale. Small, but well worth of visiting. Paitings and marble works. Dated XIV-XVII, I have noticed few works not typical like marble frescos and wall paintings that were translocated to canvas. Ceramics is represented mostly by terracotta with cobalt and cobalt-ochre (I am not a specialist) kitchenette of nobles. But there are some other outstanding pieces of art, too

An incredible collection wonderfully displayed and set in a stunning building.

Gorgeous ceramics, especially the maiolica. Several of the spotlights illuminating the pieces flash on and off. This needs to be fixed right away.

super! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Interesting museum with an amazing semi-hidden mirror room - be sure to find it! If you speak Russian or Ukrainian, ask for Valentina.

I can't stand it when the waiters aren't wearing white. If you wait tables, you must wear a white shirt. Aside from that, they are somewhat rude, but I guess this is a common trait among people in the Liguria region. Another negative point is the house wine. I dislike this sort of scam where they sell bottled house wine in 33cl bottles; that is a contradiction. House wine shouldn't be bottled. I assume they do this to squeeze every Euro possible out of you. The price is 5€ for the small bottle, meaning 15€ per liter, I find this unacceptable. This place is renowned for a local delicacy called "farinata," a type of pie made with chickpeas and baked in the oven. It's delicious and worth a try. I also ordered "vitello tonnato", a unique Italian roastbeef dish with a creamy sauce, but it was less than average—probably a leftover, something that nobody would order at this place. Overall, try this place if you want to experience local food. They have an extensive menu, not only farinata. Service and attitude could be better.

Lovely little place to eat farinata. We got this suggestion from Italian friends and they were so right! Easy to walk by if you don’t know this restaurant. But please go in and try! We had the chickpea and normal version. Both delicious

The staff were friendly, adding to the authentic Italian dining experience. Great value for money too. If you’re looking for a taste of local cuisine with a cozy atmosphere, this is the place to be. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Savona!

Incredible farinata with classia Italian vibes and a laid back feel. Good wine, fish, and pastas but do not leave without getting the farinata!

If you want to taste the most typical dish in Savona, don't hesitate to go to this place. We took plain farinata, frisceu and farinata with onions and stracchino, delicious. Prices lower than expected, with espresso and beverages we spent 15 € each.

Delicious! From outside does look like a small shop, but is bigger then you think and a typical place with very good farinata

Simple and spartan in its interior but certainly not for quality and taste. I enjoyed every bite of this local tradition, the farinata and panissa (respectively a wood oven cooked savory chickpea cake - which here is served also in its barley version - and a fried version). They can serve you plain, or topped with different things, from onion to gorgonzola. Choice is limited, and I'd say it's good because otherwise there would be a need of some assist to get out from the place since the portion are very generous. The best part are the roasted peppers, cooked in the oven and done at the moment. Covid19 related, this is the very first restaurant since this whole story started that I've seen fully respecting the rules.

Very nice restaurant, characteristic. Sushi was awesome! Service as well! Definitely recommended!

This restaurant was disappointing, they dont have any kind of raw vegetable salad, no tiramissu. Otherwise the grilled octopus was tasty

Fantastic dining experience at A Spurcacciuna in Savona, where we went for our anniversary dinner. The staff was very friendly, spoke English and accommodated our dietary requirements. The tasting menu was very inventive, delicious and played with a creative mix of local Italian specialities and international ingredients. We would definitely come back, but next time book in the summer time, so one can enjoy the beautiful outdoor terrace.

What a treasure. We ordered from the menu yet we were regaled with various small delights as amuse bouche, delightful breads, etc before our first and second courses. Wow!

Thanks for this incredible and unique experience, especially to Beppo, who explained all the creative meal creations perfectly :) we felt the love for perfection and for the detail. Thanks!!

Amazing place with great service. The food tastes really good.

Amazing experience from start to finish!

The ladies working there are very nice. Food also taste good (just normal good). But the portions are extremely small which makes this place a bit expensive. Also 12 € added to our bill 😡 5€ for 2 people "coperto" (this is what I understand , it is everywhere so it's normal) and another 7€ ⁉️⁉️⁉️ - we paid it because I'm not one of those who makes complaints. if I want to give tip, I choose how much ... and yes, the staff working there deserves tips because they are really nice. Also all the millions of decorations everywhere . First impression it looks great. Really have a special atmosphere. But also not all.of them were clean. Fans were working and I had a feeling that some dust goes down to the plate. But they do deserve 4 stars in my opinion.

Fair price and real huge portions, but the shrimp isn't fresh, is frozen. Mussels is recommended, also the local 🍺.

Disappointed in the food, especially given the higher prices. We ordered tuna and trofie al pesto, but both were below average quality for Italy. The house white wine was particularly bad. Service and atmosphere were good.

Honestly it was so much less than expected. The service was nothing more than ok and when we wanted to sit inside their first response was no well that was something…. the food wasnt bad it was just a lot less than what we were hoping for and later when we got home everyone got a baaad stomach ache. I also have good things to say tho the owner was willing to help when we couldnt open the claw of our lobster altought we only got half for 32€ and some pasta😂

Tipical “trattoria” (restaurant) serves delicious dishes, I’ve got plates based on fishing. The staff is very professional and the environment it’s super nice

Food was good but not great. Service was good and they are pretty fast. The place has an interesting vibe and decor.

Very disappointed, we chooses this place according to the reviews. The weightier mixed up our order and refused to fix it, we had no choice but to accept the dish that we hadn’t ordered…. The food wasn’t tasty, nobody enjoyed, the shrimps were not well cooked, portions were small, service included w/o no reason…. do not recommend this place :(

Small shop selling chickpea fritters. Warm and made fresh

A little jewel hidden in a small street in the center sending the traditional tried chickpeas fries. Very yummy :-)

Really great authentic experience with fair prices and outstanding service. Just try a lot and share.

The best place to eat tipical food in Savona

(Translated by Google) The real panissa and thank goodness there are still places like this. Those who complain should go eat elsewhere in some aseptic chain in every sense. Let's hope this piece of history never closes. (Original) La vera panissa e meno male che esistono ancora posti così. Chi si lamenta vada a mangiare altrove in qualche catena asettica in tutti i sensi. Speriamo che non chiuda mai questo pezzo di storia.

(Translated by Google) Very small and rather cramped place, with a tradition that has been handed down for over 40 years thanks to the owners themselves. I tried this typical street food out of curiosity (3 euros of panissa): the price is right and the flavor overall good, but the experience leaves something to be desired in other aspects. The oil used for frying seemed rather old and dark, and the fried smell is so intense that it literally leaves you soaked. Hygiene leaves something to be desired: the lady serving handles both food and money without wearing gloves or washing her hands. (Original) Locale molto piccolo e piuttosto angusto, con una tradizione che si tramanda da oltre 40 anni grazie agli stessi proprietari. Ho provato questo street food tipico per curiosità (3 euro di panissa): il prezzo è giusto e il sapore tutto sommato buono, ma l’esperienza lascia a desiderare sotto altri aspetti. L’olio usato per friggere sembrava piuttosto vecchio e scuro, e l’odore di fritto è talmente intenso che si esce letteralmente impregnati. L’igiene lascia a desiderare: la signora che serve maneggia sia il cibo che i soldi senza l'uso di guanti o lavarsi le mani.

(Translated by Google) After months of closure, it finally reopened and I was able to try this historic activity in Savona! Inside the restaurant you can breathe the air of the past, a spartan environment, without too many frills. The quality of the slices (fried panissa) was really high, the best I've ever eaten. The focaccia was stuffed well. Friendly and fast service. Low and fair prices for what is offered. Advised! (Original) Dopo mesi di chiusura, finalmente ha riaperto e ho potuto provare questa attività storica di Savona! All'interno del locale si respira l'aria di un tempo, ambiente spartano, senza troppi fronzoli. La qualità delle fette (panissa fritta) era davvero alta, le più buone mai mangiate. La focaccetta era farcita per bene. Servizio gentile e veloce. Prezzi bassi e giusti per quello che viene offerto. Consigliato!

We came here based on a recommendation, and we weren’t disappointed. Paolo welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was really pleasant – relaxed and inviting. The overall experience was very positive. However, the hamburger and fries for the kids were a bit dry, which is the main reason I’m not giving a full five-star rating. Aside from that, we were happy we came. Prices are on the higher side, but still reasonable considering the quality and service.

A very nice restaurant, with an interesting designed menu, reasonable prices considering how tasty the dishes are. Impeccable service, an impressive collection of wines, definitely worth a try.

Despite being a large group with kids, we were seated without any problem. It was nice to see the manager together with the waiter taking our order and even bringing out the dishes. Unlike some restaurants where guests with children are not always welcome, here you truly feel appreciated. I definitely recommend visiting. The food is delicious and the service is top-notch.

The food was absolutely exceptional, we tried all the main dishes and plates were cleaned up . Very fine preparation, WELL DONE ! Can only recommend! And to add on a wonderful owner and team B R A V O

Simply out, one of the best fish restaurant in town. Refined and classy but absolutely welcoming.

Tasty food, all fresh and creative. The dessert is incredible ! 5 stars services, the girls are so nice, thank you!

The food was excellent, as were the drinks, the mood, and the suggestions. The service was fantastic, with all involved being so nice, and both owners being so hospitable. We coincidentally celebrated our 10 year anniversary and 3rd week honeymoon here, and would go back every year. Thank you Luna!
