Reviews Summary
Ristorante Il Cappon Magro is celebrated for its incredibly good seafood and innovative yet traditional cuisine. Diners consistently praise the beautifully presented dishes and the friendly, attentive service. While prices are noted as being above average, the quality of food and overall experience are considered well worth it.
"The food here is incredibly good! We went for lunch, right before closure and they still welcomed us in. We were very happy about that as it was probably the best seafood we ever had. The service was also very nice, with small details which made this a great experience."
Charlotte Vangenechten
"What an absolutely wonderful time we had at Buon Cappon Magro! We explored the old town and the Via Francigena (pilgrim path) during the day and dined at the restaurant in the evening. How can I describe the food? I am, admittedly, not a man of the world, but it was the most mouthwatering, flavorful party of tastes I ever had. And our room at end of the day was clean, comfortable, and conducive to sweet dreams. Thank you Federica, Marco, and everyone else at Il Ristorante Buon Cappon for making our stay a little piece of heaven!"
Alec Hastings
"Love this place! I've been coming to Bobbio for ages and never tried the food here. It's a tasteful experience. Fish is very much recommended. The service is excellent and we also had a welcome prosecco and crostino di acciuga. Dishes are pricey but all worth it! Very pleasant atmosphere and wonderful location. I'll definitely come back!"

The flavors of Liguria in 6 traditional dishes
This is one of Liguria’s most ancient and sophisticated dishes, once a “poor man’s” specialty that is now considered a real delicacy. The “magro,” which means “lean,” suffix refers to the fact that the dish contains no meat, making it suitable for the Lenten period when people traditionally abstained from eating meat. Cappon magro is a layered salad made with boiled local vegetables and hardtack biscuits topped with fish, seafood, and a green sauce that is kind of a cross between salsa verde and mayonnaise.

Cappon magro is undoubtedly the most sophisticated dish in Genoese cuisine. It is visually stunning and requires a very elaborate preparation, which is why it is reserved for special occasions. Its origins, however, were much more modest.
