"Menù not very wide but special dishes, cured and very gouty. the courteous and smiling staff. I really enjoyed the variety of bread, with grissini and crostini. average/high price but it is worth it. If you're in one of the tables outside the top floor, I think it's worth it twice. I was under and it was a little warm. I recommend it anyway."

"Disappointing dinner. The Insalata di Mare was very bland. The squid in curry sounded interesting and different from the usual preparations, but it just didn't work. The curry sauce was good, but the squid were simply boiled and the combination was unpleasant, not interesting. Same with the squid ink pasta with shrimp and coconut milk sauce. The unusual combination just didn't work. Also, for 18 euros one expects more than 2 medium sized shrimp in the dish. The fried calamari were fine, but when you only get rings and no bodies, then you know that they're just out of the freezer bag and right into the fryer. Service was friendly, but not what it should be. We ordered one appetizer and then three mains. The appetizer and two mains came out at the same time, then the third main came much later. Everyplace else we have eaten in Alassio has been great. You can probably do better than here just by picking a place at random."

"This was our third visit and today lunch was awful. Ordered mussels for the appetizer and there was little to no marinera in the pot. I asked for some extra and it took 3 servers to bring it, but they brought a huge bowl of broth to go with the other mussels on the menu not the marinera that I had…they took it away and finally brought some. Then the server rudely asked if I was finally ready for our pasta they brought mine and gave the wrong pasta to my husband they took it back and about 5 minutes later took my away too…about 15 minutes later they brought both of our pasta. My husband’s was supposed to be spicy tomato sauce it literally tasted like tomato paste with no spice. After we paid we were asked if we wanted an after dinner drink as an apology for the food mixup. Normally limoncello is given away anyway for free after dinner so this was so rude. We will never eat there again."

"Walking trough the Budello in Alassio we have spotted this place and as it look very neat and sleeky we decided to book a table for the following night which was Saturday last. As soon as we got there, they brought us at our table as we requested outside the place in a little and Cozy lane. We got immediately disappointed with the starter, octopus on mashed potatoes, totally tasteless and cold. An hour and fifteen minutes later we got the main course, which were two type of pasta, one of them was the wrong one that we had to return. So finally 20 minutes later, the right dish arrived (sort of spaghetti con vongole) but was only a forkfull of pasta overcooked and full of empty clams. I called the waitress and returned once again the dish and asked the bill. Even the tables behind us were having the same trouble.... So I have to be honest, usually I am not soo critical but this time was unbelievable, nothing went right, very slow in service, poor quality of food and not so professional overall. I come to Alassio very often in the summer and this place won't see us again and I won't be surprised if they don't get thinks right soon won't go far."

"Had dinner during the week so the place wasn't crowded. Service provided by both the owner and the very attentive waiters. Chosen the menu around thirty euros. All very good. Surely the low price of the menu also reduced the portions. Very small portion of pineapple. However, the cake was really too small. In my opinion, it's better not to put dessert on the fixed price menu. So if you want it, you can take it separately"
