Balzola In Alassio

Famous historical pastry shop famous in Alassio since 1902 where the famous baci di Alassio were invented in 1919. The furnishings still recall past years, while the exterior is characterized by illuminated signs, outdoor tables on the square and self-celebratory curtains. I only purchased various formats of Baci di Alassio and the young girl who served me seemed listless and not encouraged to sell. Sin! If I have been useful to you, follow me and leave me a like! 👍🏼☺

Excellent breakfast!!! Super service and Alassio's kisses, in my opinion, were the best I've eaten!!! Finally a place in Liguria where I willingly pay more, truly excellent service with very kind staff.

we had breakfast in this ancient pastry shop, where the kisses of Alassio were born. It presents itself very well with furnishings and atmosphere of the past. the brioches with a flakier dough that is different from the usual are excellent

Quality products from coffee to ice cream to milkshakes and even pastries

The absolute top both in terms of quality and environment, a leap into the past but of a high standard, the outdoor play area where children can pass the time is also excellent.

The pastry or "Baci liguri" have been patented, to taste with a good Espresso in contrast. Highly recommended.

The pastry shop where they invented the Alassio kiss (at least so it seems). Location in an exceptional position, old-fashioned furnishings. I tasted, of course, their kisses, after having tried many others around the country. The filling is good (very abundant), the consistency of the meringue needs to be reviewed. Not in my top 3. Fairly high prices.

Historic venue in the Ligurian town, which has managed to evolve without betraying its ancient flavour. The staff are very kind, the prices are correct for those little masterpieces represented by the pastries offered: splendid to look at, excellent and sophisticated in taste. Edit April 4, 2024: Unfortunately this year's handcrafted Easter eggs were totally tasteless. The price of an artisanal product is justified only with a high level product. In this case, therefore, the egg was found to be expensive without justification. Reluctantly I have to lower the rating of the place.

Let's say that only the prestigious name remained. The lady at the cash register perhaps needs to get down from the pedestal, she asked me for the table number and when I tried to explain what the position was, she replied haughtily that the number was marked on the table or on the note they left when they served us ! Too bad it was so windy that there was nothing left on the table! My daughter's crepes were also dry on the edges and I didn't have sugar for the coffee. Lower the crest, the prices and above all stay chill

Historic place also famous for its kisses of Alassio. High quality pastry and chocolate shop is located in one of the most central and lively squares in the town a few steps from the sea. Very kind and perfect hostess Mrs Chiara, always very attentive and thoughtful.
