La Perla Bistrot Ventimiglia In

Friendly staff! Typical Italian cuisine, with good value for money ☺️ Highly recommended!!

On the way back from Monte Carlo to Sanremo, we stopped on the Ventimiglia seafront and were delighted to discover this lovely restaurant: very friendly staff, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and excellent, plentiful dishes. We had a grilled fillet steak with a side of grilled vegetables and a local mixed fried fish (a truly generous amount), plus 1 water, 1 medium beer, and 1 coffee, all for a fair 60 euros.

I visited this place somewhat by chance, as other restaurants nearby were already closed. I sat down at a table, and the waiter was very nice. As always, I checked the reviews on Google before ordering, and I admit I was a little apprehensive – I was wondering if I really wanted to eat here. However, I decided to take a chance, and I absolutely don't regret it! The carbonara was very good – perfectly seasoned and truly delicious. The only thing I could find fault with was the dining experience: I think the owner, with a small child, was talking to the waiter (probably the child's father), and both were more focused on the child than on the guests. Finally, when I went to pay, the waiter wasn't as nice as he had been at the beginning, but that's a minor detail. Overall, I don't regret going there. The food was good, the atmosphere was nice, and there were just a few minor details that could be improved.
