Ristorante con cucina regionale,pesce e mediterranea con ottima vista mare e isola Gallinara, sia della sala che del dehor estivo.

There is a time for fancy and elegant dining and a time for basic well prepared food in a humble atmosphere. In either extreme what makes it memorable is a combination of quality and genuine hospitality. This place is as simple as it gets, but the genuine warmth of the greeting and the fair value for a limited number of well prepared dishes generates repeat customers. My wife's fritto de calamari and vegetables compared favorably to the versions we have had at many high end restaurants. There was only one bottle of white wine on offer, a Fiano Salento, surprisingly a table wine from Campania rather than Liguria. But it was of excellent quality and modest price. Sicilian cannoli offered another diversion from the typical regional fare.Take a walk to the back end of the old town, on a street full of modest eateries (including the local legend, Puppo). Inspect the blackboard menu and see if there is something on offer that appeals to you. Easy on the budget and palate, this is a good place for a basic but satisfying meal.

It is a very apt metaphor, the no nonsense three wheel miniature truck parked comfortably in the very small restaurant. Spartan but cheerful tables and chairs, minimalist decor, the focus is on high quality ingredients cooked quickly and deftly. If you like fresh fish and shellfish prepared in half a dozen straight forward ways, this restaurant should be on your short list. There are only a couple of wine choices, but they are good ones. The prices are modest, reflecting the no frills delivery and ambiance.I'm pleased to see they are making it through the lean winter months, and should survive and thrive as foot traffic and their reputation increases. Today we opted for dessert: only two choices, a semi-freddo with nuts and a tiramisu. Both were of high quality, as was the espresso.If the young staff maintain their commitment, they will hold their own in a competitive marketplace.

a lovely short stroll to the back street....with amazing cooking.. try the baked eggplant enough for two...delicious flavors....we tried a vegetable stuffed sardine appetizer which had amazing flavor...the best appetizer we had was on our second visit and it was called:" Acciughe impanate con finocchi all' agro" which are anchovies breaded with fennel - this is a must try, amazing...note the spelling - be sure to order this appetizer, large enough to share as a primi. The pasta dishes are homemade, enough to share. for dessert we tried a fig tart which had a homemade fig and blackberry filling...the bread basket has the best breads, lovely assortment. Only problem was the tomato focaccia with olives, the pits (stones) were left inside the olives, dangerous to the tooth fillings, whoever made it forgot to remove olive pits. They serve the best rosso (red) wine - seemed to be all naturale, no sulfite...it was made in Albenga a short distance away...really excellent little bottles of this red wine. Lovely ambiance, be sure to look it up and reserve for dinner.

this was a recommendation from Grand Hotel in Alassio and it was excellent. The spaghettata with lashings of excellent sea food which turned up baking hot in a large pan was wonderful as a starter and then followed by a delicious slow cooked rabbit. Service was very pleasant and the location over looking Alassio beautiful even in winter with the large windows. The choice of wines was also good. We got a taxi up even though we had our own car, mainly for the wine but the road up is narrow so even if you dont drink, you may want to take a taxi.

For years, even decades, we have been walking past this restaurant in the smug assumption that it was a tourist trap. The wide advertised selection: Tex-Mex, paella, pizza, seafood, spaghetteria, steaks, lots of photos of food have many of the warning signs. How can a restaurant do all these different types of food and do them well? But look closer, it is often filled and with more locals than tourists.Our mental tide turned when I read about the owner's campaign against the vindictive kind of TA reviews where people have said a lot of unkind things without the courtesy and fairness of bringing problems to the attention of the owners and giving them the opportunity to make them right. Clearly, nearly every one in the constantly challenging hospitality business wants to satisfy their customers. Why else would they earn a living in this demanding field?The greeting is sincere and cheerful. The menu is indeed expansive. We are not in a hurry to try the Tex-Mex offerings since we have access to the real deal at home. We opted for Argentine steaks and they were quite good. (We have spent some time in Argentina and appreciate the quality of its beef). Prices were fair. A mixed salad, desserts and Lavazza coffee were all well prepared and presented. The decor is a bit generic but not unpleasant.This has not all of a sudden become a favorite venue, but I have new respect for their hard work and decent offerings at fair and modest prices. We will be back to try their pizza and perhaps the Paella. Equally important, we are glad to have jettisoned one prejudice.

The first visit was amazing - best cocktails and aperitif....we tried the Branzino....recipe par excellence...the fish was oven baked in a parchment paper, flavor was amazing. They have oven roasted potatoes, and all the complimentary aperitif breads were the best. Lovely tables perched all along the small main road...quiet and elegant setting.The second visit the aperitif was charged as 3 euro and was not complimentary with the cocktails...how does this change after a few days? Some days it is free with drinks, some days it is a charge. The places all around do not charge for the aperitif if ordering cocktails....so this does not seem right. I noticed confusion when paying the bill, they make mistakes at the cash register, and then quickly fix them. Our first visit the drinks were 7 euro and aperitif was free. (complimentary with drinks as do all the other neighboring places which have a better aperitif) The second visit the same cocktails were 8 euro at the cash register, where the cashier quickly corrected his error to make them 7 euro - on his own while I watched, but then he quickly added the 3 euro charge for the aperitif. Not a pleasant second visit. Review has been edited to note the second visit pricing problems. We were planning to visit again for the Branzino dinner, but now we will choose another place.

This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is all beautiful to look at and wonderful to eat. The table is beautifully laid with lovely linen, cutlery and china. The service is impeccable. The Maitre D/sommelier is hugely knowledgeable about wine and does not suggest the most expensive but what pairs best with what you are eating. The location of the restaurant in Villa Della Pergola could not be better. The gardens are magnificent with a view of the sea. What more could anyone ask?

Substance and artistry, this is a restaurant that consistently exemplifies Ligurian cuisine carried to its highest level. Every dish is presented with an ideal combination of premium ingredients, attractive plating and full flavor. The service is truly professional. The wine selection is deep and fairly priced. The dining room is elegant and comfortable.The menu changes with the seasons. Besides the predictably strong suit in fish and shellfish, the chef knows how to prepare meat and poultry dishes with exemplary skill. There are a number of fine establshments in town. This is where we take our friends who have the deepest passion for culinary excellence.

The place is simple and located in a nice square of the of the beautiful old town of albenga. We went for dinner and the restaurant was full. We booked in advance and were allocated a table at 5cm from the entrance door. Very unpleasant as each time some one enters, the wind hurts you. We were not yet served and a table in the centre of the restaurant became available. We asked to move and the answer was âno, we are fullâ. What?!? We booked as well and you are forcing us to stay in a freezy table...the food was ok but nothing extraordinary. But once you eat in uncomfortable situations and the attitude is so âLigurianâ...that does not matter. There are so many places around....
