This is a seafood restaurant. The location is very pleasant, as you dine in a small square. The dishes weren't all successful: the raw and cooked fish appetizer was very good, as was the trofie and shrimp entree, while the paccheri with squid was disjointed and under-seasoned.
Regarding the service, it could definitely be improved, as the appetizers were all served at once, while the first courses were served asynchronously. The desserts, which concluded the dinner, were very pleasant.
I recommend providing waiters with a wine list to hand out to customers.
Good value.
In any case, despite a few imperfections in the dinner, I had a very pleasant evening.
With a little more attention, the fourth star isn't far off.
I will return and recommend it.

La Rosa dei Venti Restaurant – Albissola
A truly pleasant restaurant, located outdoors in a charming little square along the Albissola promenade. The atmosphere is relaxed and charming, perfect for an al fresco summer dinner. The cuisine offers traditional Ligurian dishes, carefully crafted and prepared with care: a wonderful discovery for those seeking authentic local flavors.
The restaurant has great potential, but the experience was slightly marred by inattentive service: we had ordered a Vermentino, but were served another wine (by mistake) without any communication, no apology, or even asking if I wanted to change it. Furthermore, after requesting pepper for the first course, it never arrived.
Special mention goes to the owner, who was extremely kind and attentive: at the end of the meal, she offered us an amaro and a typical dessert, a gesture that improved the overall impression and left a positive memory.
Recommended, but with a small suggestion: improve the service and attention to the tables, because the setting and the cuisine deserve to be showcased to the fullest.

Very good food, sometimes something unusual. Shrimp crudo, delicately seasoned with oil and spices, very tasty. The service leaves a lot to be desired compared to the food. Two young ladies, no smile, no friendly gesture, and no explanation of the dishes when asked. The prices are too high for that, so the service has to be good. And no chiller for the wine in these temperatures—a no-go. Nice atmosphere; we'd come back if the service were better.

A favorite place.
This is one of my (very few) favorite restaurants. It's definitely not your average restaurant, but one of those places where a great atmosphere immediately sets in. Excellent fresh seafood dishes that are always changing. The staff and owner are very friendly.

Highly recommended
A very positive experience. I chose this restaurant to celebrate my 51st birthday with friends and family. We ate very well, the fish was all fresh and well-cooked (the raw fish of the day, the fried fish, and the black cherry tart deserve 5 stars). The service was attentive and fast. As soon as we were seated, water and small entrees arrived: ricotta with bitter orange sauce and marinated anchovies accompanied by a basket of baked goods, all delicious. We were pleasantly satisfied, especially with the atmosphere. Unlike many chaotic and noisy restaurants, La Rosa dei Venti has outdoor tables in a charming and quiet little square.
I would say that among the many restaurants in the area, La Rosa dei Venti is certainly one of the best.

Se si cerca un posto dove mangiare pesce fresco e spendere poco questo è perfetto. Non è il classico ristorante sul mare, non esiste un menù, nel nostro caso essendo di buona forchetta è andato di bene in meglio, da un mix di antipasti di mare, passando dal primo (ravioli di pesce ottimi), una frittura di calamari e verdure e per concludere un dolce semplice ma gustoso. Una bottiglia di prosecco ottima per qualità prezzo.
Un clima informale che ti fa sentire come a casa della nonna, torneremo sicuramente.

Ottima esperienza. Cibo curato . Noi abbiamo mangiato solo pesce . Antipasti abbondanti e deliziosi. Poi alcuni hanno preso il primo di paccheri gamberi e carciofi, altri il fritto. Tutti siamo stati molto contenti
