A Caféteia De Ivana In Pontedassio

19/10/2025: Very pleasant welcome, clean restaurant, quality cuisine. The prices are very reasonable. Would do it again.

21/09/2025: This restaurant is right next to my place, and the location is truly lovely—quiet, unique, and inviting. The service was excellent: warm, gracious, and attentive throughout the evening. As a retired chef, I tend to notice the details. I had the pinse-style pizza and breaded anchovies. While the presentation was fine, it was clear the anchovies came straight from the freezer to the fryer or oven. The dough had that classic Roman-style crispness, but lacked the depth of flavor you'd expect from a well-fermented base. Other guests were enjoying pasta dishes that looked well-prepared and appetizing. Prices were on the higher side, especially with the cover charge added. If you're looking for more distinctive local flavors, I’d recommend Orlogio, just up the street—it offers a more interesting take on regional cuisine. This isn’t a negative review—just an honest observation. The place has charm and potential, and with a bit more attention to ingredient quality, it could really stand out.
