La cantina di Re Carciofo - Norcinoteca In Albenga

A very beautiful and welcoming location. The charcuterie board was very fresh and high-quality. The "benedetto cavalieri" spaghetti with shrimp was very flavorful and tasty, not to mention the sauce... spectacular! The staff was very friendly and the owner was super nice! We'll definitely be back!

Delicious, a nice menu with a few dishes, but very carefully crafted and original. Generous charcuterie platters are also available for an excellent aperitif. The wine list is also very interesting, with a nice and varied selection of bottles to choose from. The staff is courteous and attentive, and special praise goes to the owner for his friendliness.

Re Carciofo is a magical place. The atmosphere is convivial; Enzo's hospitality is the last bastion of a restaurant tradition that seems long forgotten. The quality of the ingredients and the delicacy of the cuisine make every dinner a memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Everything was excellent from the service to the dishes.

Friendly service and excellent food. I'd come back anytime...

Re Carciofo was the highlight of our day in Alassio. The owner kindly and without any fuss offered us a lovely table outside, in a picturesque location in the pedestrian zone, with the sea breeze still in the air, just a few steps from the famous Muretto. Bathed in the warm evening light, it was a particularly charming spot – we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place! 🥂🪴 We were served crusty bread with olive oil and delicious homemade pesto – a thoughtful little touch that immediately lifted our spirits. This was followed by wonderfully fresh marinated anchovies with capers, tomatoes, and pickled onions, accompanied by a perfectly mixed Aperol Spritz. The highlight, however, was the rigatoni: creamy, full of flavor, and simply exceptional. The service was equally impressive – courteous, attentive, and genuinely funny, making us feel comfortable from the very first moment. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended! 😊

Unfortunately, it seems difficult to find waiters who are up to the quality of what is offered, slow and uninterested except for one girl with an Eastern European accent.

The food was exceptional. The price, while not cheap, was absolutely worth it. My daughter's simple pesto pasta was exceptional and plentiful. My tartare and amatriciana were exceptional, and the dessert was truly a perfect combination of flavors and textures. I will definitely be back to try more. Highly recommended

Excellent place...quality product, a big thank you for the welcome.

In an enviable location, just steps from the sea and the Alassio wall, the atmosphere is refined yet welcoming and informal. The staff is extremely kind and attentive. The owner is a man from another era. The food and wine list are top-notch. The anchovies are amazing. The place is always busy, so reservations are recommended. Also used for aperitifs. Recommended.
