Banchina 51 In Alassio

Good but expensive for such small portions

Give me a minute because this time it's really worth it. If you're looking for traditional Ligurian cuisine, ok, I understand, I really like it too. Alassio is full of restaurants that make you trenette with pesto and Ligurian rabbit, you don't need my advice. BUT If, like me, you are looking for sophisticated and creative cuisine, made not to amaze but to find unexpected flavors and surprising combinations, then book a table here and I guarantee you won't regret it. Starting from the linguine with clams, excellent but quite classic, up to the more creative and original dishes, everything here is worth trying. So much so that as far as the kitchen is concerned (the dining room, although directly on the sea, suffers a bit from the limitations of the lack of space typical of Liguria) in my opinion the Banchina 51 could be very close to deserving a star. This is to say that as long as you can have dinner there for €50-70, in my opinion you should rush out and try it, and then go back too. In fact, I regret not having spent more and tried more than 4 dishes (two of which shared between two - including an *incredible* chocolate cake with olive pâté and gelled lemon spheres - with two glasses, less than €100 in total). At these prices I guarantee you that it is truly a cuisine not to be missed. It has perhaps been years since I have been so surprised by dishes that are also very well looked after on an aesthetic level. A little gem, and one of the rare cases in which I give the fifth star without hesitation, moreover to a place that I think has still had the recognition it deserves.

Professionalism, courage, quality ingredients managed with mastery

Excellent food, sunny friendliness and a location with attention to the smallest details. We received a welcome that was familiar to say the least, we were treated well and for every doubt or curiosity about local food we received exhaustive and efficient answers. Spaghetti with clams is their specialty (but not only) and I admit that I literally cleaned the whole plate with satisfaction! I recommend it and highly recommend it! PS quality and price ratio is worth a lot. You can feel the quality!

Very good restaurant with pleasant service

Restaurant on the seafront, very friendly staff, well presented and very good dishes, excellent dinner, congratulations!!

Delicious, can't wait to go back! Superlative food quality and friendly, polite and helpful staff! Thanks also to the staff for letting me find the rose on the table since it was an anniversary Edit: I don't know why I posted the review now, since it's July of last year

We are from Imperia and we had never dined in this restaurant, it was a nice and positive experience. We tasted excellent dishes of excellent quality, we also recommend the fantastic dessert 🍋 🍋 🍋 The 2 girls who served us were very courteous and knowledgeable. Thanks, see you soon Roberta and Fabio (table 11 😉)
