Ravioli with ragù from the Albergo Ristorante Amici in Varese

I ravioli al ragù dell'Albergo Ristorante Amici a Varese Ligure

Ravioli with ragù from the Albergo Ristorante Amici in Varese Ligure.
I love eating the typical ravioli from the hinterland of Eastern Liguria, those seasoned with il tocco or simply with ragù.
For this reason I always try to find new places where I can try them.
I ate these in a hotel trattoria in Varese Ligure, the Albergo Ristorante Amici which has welcomed those passing through these parts since 1760.
The ravioli were not bad at all!

Where is the restaurant located:

Ligurian cuisine is made up of dishes from the culinary tradition of Liguria, a region that uses ingredients linked both to local production (such as preboggion, a mixture of wild herbs) and to imports from areas with which Ligurians have had frequent contact over the centuries (such as Sardinian pecorino, one of the ingredients of pesto).
A poor cuisine, typical of country people, mountaineers and sailors, made of simple, common and cheap foods, which has however become expensive, refined and full of ancient glories.

Ravioli with ragù from the Ou Grumallu farmhouse

I ravioli al ragù dell'Agriturismo Ou Grumallu

Ravioli with ragù from the Ou Grumallu farmhouse.
As the most attentive readers will know, I really love ravioli with ragù, the Ligurian ones with a mixed filling of meat and vegetables, seasoned, when possible, with the typical tuccu (the touch, the Genoese meat ragù).
These are the excellent ravioli with ragù from the Ou Grumallu farmhouse in Case Soprane, in the municipality of Ne.

I ravioli al ragù dell’Antica Locanda Luigina a Mattarana.
Diversi mesi fa, ormai, sono stato a mangiare una domenica a pranzo alla Antica Locanda Luigina (trattoria, ristorante, albergo) consigliatami da qualche amico.
Ovviamente il mio scopo era assaggiare i ravioli al ragù, il miopiatto preferito!
Devo dire che i ravioli erano buoni (come del resto anche tutti gli altri piatti) e saporiti. Entrano nella mia classifica ma non sul podio.

I ravioli al ragù della trattoria La Tagliola a Carpenissone

I ravioli al ragù della trattoria La Tagliola a Carpenissone.
Qualche tempo fa, su invito di diversi amici, sono stato ad assaggiare (o meglio a ri-assaggiare dopo molti anni) i ravioli della trattoria La Tagliola a Carpenissone, nel comune di San Colombano Certenoli.
Devo dire che erano molto buoni e gustosi! Purtroppo il mio pranzo è stato disturbato da alcuni problemi personali che non mi hanno consentito di apprezzare al meglio il piatto principale (i ravioli). La trattoria non si piazza quindi sul podio dei miei favoriti ma forse il mio giudizio avrà bisogno di essere riformulato in un’altra visita!

I ravioli al ragù dell’Albergo Ristorante la Veranda a Tavarone.
Qulche settimana fa, su invito di un visitatore, sono stato ad assaggiare i ravioli al ragù (in genovese i raieu au tuccu) a Tavarone, un piccolo paese in Val di Vara (nell’entroterra di Sestri Levante e Casarza Ligure).
Ho scoperto dei ravioli proprio buoni tanto che li metto al terzo posto della mia speciale classifica dei ravioli!
Assolutamente da non perdere!
Solo un suggerimento: prenotate perchè gli orari ed i posti sono limitati!

Ravioli with ragù from Cantarana Restaurant in Sesta Godano

I ravioli al ragù del Ristorante Cantarana a Sesta Godano

Ravioli with ragù from the Cantarana Restaurant in Sesta Godano.
A few months ago, on the suggestion of friends, I went to try the ravioli in Sesta Godano (in the province of La Spezia) from the Albergo Ristorante Cantarana.
I have to say that they were truly delicious, nice and plump and abundant and the sauce (the tuccu) was equally delicious.
Absolutely a restaurant to go to again!

The best ravioli with ragù in Eastern Liguria

Ravioli al ragù alla ligure

The best ravioli (raieu) with ragú (au tuccu) in Eastern Liguria.

For some time now I have been trying to keep track and rank what I think are the best ravioli with ragù (the real one is called tuccu from the Genoese tocco, a piece, from the piece of meat cooked for a long time that we use to make the ragù) of the trattorias in my area. By “my area” I mean the eastern part of the Province of Genoa and the relative hinterland (since I live in Sestri Levante).
I'll say it right away: tocco is not always used as a condiment, sometimes it is the classic but equally tasty meat ragù.
Mine is not intended to be a competition but just a way to let you all know the best places, in my opinion, to go and eat this excellent dish.
I hope no one feels offended (de gustibus non disputandis est) also because, wherever I have been, I have come away satisfied!

Obviously these are the places I have visited and for this reason I ask you to suggest new ones. I promise I will try them when I am home and then I will write a post about them.
Leave me your opinion on my ranking or write to me in a comment What are your favorites and which ones should I try?

Ravioli are prepared with various fillings and toppings.
Their original characteristic would be that of not having the making of a common egg pasta, but rather of a dough richer in water than eggs. The filling, then, which must be composed of borage, escarole, beef and pork, sausage paste, eggs, parmesan, milk and marjoram for the typical aroma. It is important that the vegetables clearly dominate the rest of the aforementioned ingredients.
