La cantina di Re Carciofo - Norcinoteca In Albenga

Un aperitivo e cena fantastica . Mitico tagliere , primi buonissimi . Luogo magico col Mitico enzino sempre gentile ! Posto top !!!

Immersa nel suggestivo scenario delle mura storiche di Albenga, la cantina offre un’atmosfera accogliente e ricca di tradizione. Siamo stati accolti con calore dal titolare Enzo e serviti con cortesia da Ivan, mentre lo chef Andrea ci ha guidato in un viaggio culinario all’insegna del carciofo. Il menù, ricco e variegato, ha visto protagonista il carciofo in tutte le sue declinazioni: dai carciofi spadellati a un’insalata fresca arricchita da scaglie di grana 24 mesi DOP, fino a una calamarata dal sapore intenso. La tradizione italiana è stata onorata con una classica amatriciana e un gustoso coniglio alla ligure, accompagnato da prelibati carciofi e olive. Il tocco finale è stato un dolce sorprendente, dove il carciofo sciroppato si è fuso armoniosamente con un crumble di olive taggiasche, regalandoci un dessert unico nel suo genere. Un’esperienza culinaria autentica, perfetta per chi cerca sapori genuini e un servizio impeccabile in un contesto storico e affascinante. Torneremo sicuramente!

Unforgettable experience at Cantina di Re Carciofo in Albenga! Immersed in the evocative setting of the historic walls of Albenga, the winery offers a welcoming atmosphere rich in tradition. We were warmly welcomed by the owner Enzo and served with courtesy by Ivan, while chef Andrea guided us on a culinary journey dedicated to the artichoke. The rich and varied menu featured artichokes in all their forms: from sautéed artichokes to a fresh salad enriched with flakes of 24-month-old DOP Grana, to an intensely flavored calamarata. Italian tradition was honored with a classic amatriciana and a tasty Ligurian-style rabbit, accompanied by delicious artichokes and olives. The final touch was a surprising dessert, where the artichoke in syrup blended harmoniously with a crumble of Taggiasca olives, giving us a one-of-a-kind dessert. An authentic culinary experience, perfect for those looking for genuine flavors and impeccable service in a historic and fascinating context. We will definitely be back!

What about magic... From the environment to the friendliness it inebriates the palate and you feel at home Enzo, a kind and welcoming person, will become our place of ❤️

I returned to Re Carciofo on Saturday with some friends to amaze them and I must say that we were not disappointed. The location is always a splendid gem in the heart of the historic center of Albenga and the quality and care of the dishes served are a guarantee. Eating in the greenhouse is a real treat and, the icing on the cake, Enzo welcomes you with warmth and familiarity, making you feel special! Ps: finishing dinner with blancmange with almond milk makes you feel like you're in the 18th century Sicilian Leopard. In a word: regal.

A delightful place with an extraordinary interior! Tables with trees in the center are a brilliant idea! In warm weather you can dine outside, in cold weather there is a magical warm veranda. I love visiting this restaurant because of the incredible atmosphere! The dishes are different from the typical tourist menu and very interesting. After ordering, they bring a variety of delicious appetizers, making the wait enjoyable and enjoyable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The owner of the restaurant, a dear sir, personally comes to help you make a choice and give recommendations on the menu. It’s nice to talk to him and he will definitely remember you next time. The family atmosphere of warmth and beauty makes you come back there again and again! Highly recommend this place for a must visit and an amazing experience. P.s. I saw a review suggesting unequal treatment of Russians. I, as a Russian, will probably tell you that they love us there)))))) But everything always depends on the person himself and his behavior.

Excellent dishes in a very nice environment; highly recommended!

It is always a pleasure to return to this enchanting place. Enzo, the owner, prepared and passionate about his work, pampers you more and more every time with excellent quality raw materials. Attentive and professional staff.

Very characteristic environment, it feels like dining in a greenhouse, excellent and attentive service, but the food……. In truth, I think I have never eaten so well, good, well-prepared and I would say abundant dishes, Congratulations and…. If we return to Albenga we will definitely return.

Friendly, helpful, all very good
