The cuisine in San Remo is predominantly maritime. For local delights, look for Ligurian pasta with clams, prawns in sauce, taglierini with fresh mussels and the signature pear tart. While they're cooking, snack on freshly baked bread with a glass of dry, sparkling Prosecco. The average price for a dinner at a restaurant of this level is 50-70 EUR (the portions are very large; one is enough for two).
Also worth trying are sun-dried tomatoes, fresh Ligurian fish, stuffed mussels with garlic in white wine, oysters, swordfish, spaghetti with crabs and mozzarella and other delicacies. Be sure to try dried cod and piscialandrea, a type of pizza or focaccio with tomato, sprat, garlic and olive oil. The cheesecake (orta pasqualina) and desserts are excellent in Sanremo. A good accompaniment to any meal will be quality Italian wines. Restaurants and cafés usually feature a large selection of desserts, mostly based on fruit.
