Bastian Contrario In Finale ligure

Friendly and attentive staff, top-notch grilled meats Various and delicious focaccias

Bastian offers a fine selection of steaks, perfectly grilled and tender as butter. The meat was of excellent quality, and the side dishes were perfectly matched. The drinks selection is also top-notch—from refreshing beer to a first-class wine selection that perfectly complements the steaks. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and very professional. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy yet rustic, ideal for a relaxed evening. An absolute must for all steak lovers. P.S. They also serve pizza, for example, with burrata as a starter.

Excellent food, affordable prices, simple but well-kept location. Helpful and friendly staff.

Authentic ambiance, the steak with side dishes and wine was excellent, and we even finished with a limoncello on the house. Thank you – I'll be back.

I've been coming here for a while, I know the place, and I love coming back because I know the food and service are unique and impeccable. I don't usually write reviews, but honestly, I came home dissatisfied, and I think it's right to communicate this politely. I'm returning here after almost a year with my son, my partner, and my parents. I really appreciated the fact that the owner came to our aid and showed us the bathroom, which was perfectly equipped for changing the babies. Such attention and kindness made us feel understood, rather than served. On the contrary, I was honestly taken aback and surprised by the arrogance and rudeness with which a young waiter responded. Recounting an incident, he asked my father—who was helping him pick up the plates—to stay still, grabbed his phone from the table, and carelessly threw it further away. I understand the context very well; we've been here many times before and always left happy. However, the line between being approachable and being rude is not at all thin. Small details, big differences. PS: 5 stars because years of excellence can't be erased with one bad night. Goodbye.

Excellent dinner with exquisite meat, a bit noisy. We'll definitely check it out again.

Years go by, but Bastian Contrario is still the best. Well done guys, it's always a pleasure. See you soon.

Great venue and wonderful staff

Abbiamo cenato in famiglia in tre, ottimo piatto di cozze veramente speciale con sughetto sublime, poi abbiamo preso tre focacce, ottimo il prosciutto crudo sopra le focacce. Posto da consigliare

Tappa fissa quando siamo a Finale e abbiamo voglia di farci una mangiata di buona carne in un contesto informale ma sempre soddisfacente. Vi sono un mucchio di tagli di carne, tutti ottimi, ma l’ultima volta abbiamo provato il diaframma e siamo stati colpiti dalla sua bontà, pur essendo reduci da uno dei migliori ristoranti di carne di Milano. Suggerisco di provare una volta anche la loro tartare in una delle tre varianti, davvero notevole. Fanno anche le pizze e vedo che sono molto gettonate; noi abbiamo provato solo la focaccia semplice ed era appetitosa. E’ un locale dove sia il proprietario che le persone che vi lavorano oltre a chi lo frequenta ti fanno sentire a casa e rilassati, il che non guasta quando si è in vacanza! Cani benvenuti. Ultima caratteristica, ma non meno importante: ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Consiglio.
