El Tortuga In Sestri levante

21/04/2025: I happened upon this tavern by chance through a Google search, and the experience was quite disappointing. The choice of dishes was limited, which in itself was not a problem, but the description of the dishes, in my opinion, was unclear. Although the food was of decent quality, the portions seemed decidedly small in relation to the prices offered. The most surprising aspect, on the negative side, was the service. Despite being the last occupied table inside the restaurant, and it being 10:10 pm, our request for an additional round of amari elicited a reaction of evident impatience from the waiter. I understand the desire to close, but since it was not an excessively late time, the attitude was quite inappropriate. At the next request, the waiter's snort confirmed a lack of professionalism that left us rather perplexed. I definitely would not recommend it.
