La Pergola - Menu

A tradition of 57 years shows this restaurant to stand out among others especially on a busy market day with tasty food and attentive service. The interior seems to have remained almost the same from the seventies which makes it real vintage. Seating is also available outdoors covered from the sun.

Take no notice of those 30 yr olds that think a resto is sad if it's not in shades of grey and the owners don't know what a skinny latte is. How sad and samish the world would be if every place was thus. Proprietors charming, diners eccentric regulars, decor sober and food excellent and very well priced. Who could want more?not us

My friends and I missed our train change from Nice, France to Portofino, Italy. We ended up having to stay in Ventimiglia for a few hours and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to have lunch! This is a family-owned restaurant with a very kind staff incredible food! Missing our train was the best thing that could’ve happened. We felt very at home and welcomed here.

Abbiamo pranzato rapidamente durante la visita a Ventimiglia. Sembrava un po 'rigido all'esterno, ma una volta dentro ti rendi conto che è gestito in modo molto semplice. Il cibo era abbondante e autentico e il servizio era buono. I fiori di zucca extra ripieni erano molto graditi, così come il limoncello ghiacciato offerto gratuitamente per concludere. Non è alta cucina, ma ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo per la cucina casalinga migliorata di un livello.

Abbiamo scoperto La Pergola trent'anni fa quando durante il mercato del venerdì, mia moglie chiese a un poliziotto italiano robusto dove potessimo trovare un bel ristorante per sederci e pranzare bene. Lui ci mandò a La Pergola. Oltre al menu à la carte, La Pergola ha un menu turistico a prezzo fisso che offre tre portate per 16 euro. Si ha la scelta tra quattro primi, quattro secondi e il dessert. Con il secondo piatto, si ricevono insalata e patatine fritte. Si può sedersi a un tavolo con una tovaglia di stoffa. Il cibo è buono. Il servizio può essere un po' lento se il locale è pieno. La clientela è una mistura di locali e turisti.

This is the second time we have visited La Pergola. We were there 5 years ago and had a wonderful meal. When visiting again this year, we went back to see if it was still there and we were delighted to see that it was. It was the same owners and staff once again. We started with the Antipasti Chef which was a combination of pressuito with melon, and fried vegetables. I had the Fritura Riviera which consisted of a variety of fried small fish served with lemon. They were fried to perfection and so very delicate. My husband had the linguine in clam sauce which was also delicious and very plentiful. This was a wonderful lunch and really worth the visit!

Da oltre trent'anni pranziamo alla La Pergola nei giorni di mercato del venerdì. È un posto incantevole dove sedersi e pranzare dopo aver trascorso la mattina a fare shopping tra le numerose bancarelle dei mercati. È di proprietà della stessa famiglia da anni. Offrono un menù turistico a tre portate che include un antipasto, un piatto principale e un dessert. Ci sono abbastanza scelte per ogni portata, tutte eccellenti. Il piatto principale è servito con insalata verde e patatine fritte. Cerchiamo di arrivare presto perché il servizio può essere un po' lento se il locale è affollato. La clientela è composta sia da locali che da turisti. Abbiamo avuto Marie come nostra cameriera questa volta...

Places like this are fast disappearing. The restaurant has a high ceiling and hard flooring making it airy although on our visit only a fan added to the cooling effect. It was comfortable enough. It is well situated near the town centre. The standard menu was inexpensive if not particularly exiting (a veal escalope Milanese but tasty. Pudding was again OK but didn’t set the world alight. The wine list was well balanced and reasonably priced (we had a 1/2 litre bottle of Barolo which was excellent and so good to see the smaller sized bottles on the list . There is a vegetarian set menu on offer. It clearly has a local following which is good to see. Service was friendly and our waitress spoke...

Forget the décor, you're here for good value traditional food. A few tourists on the day we ate but mostly locals and recommended by an old boy in the nearby market. We picked the 20 euro Menu Touristique 3 course with multiple choices for each. We started with home made ravioli filled with meat and veg really very good and served with a slightly piquant tomato sauce. Next we both hade the Veal escalope Milanese.....simply pan fried veal escalope in light breadcrumbs served with lemon and a side of home fries simple and tender. Finished with a cheese plate and selection of 3 cheeses for one and our other was the tiramisu which was light and very nice the accompanying cream however was synthe...
