maona In Sanremo

After much deliberation, due to the numerous bad reviews, I finally gave this place the benefit of the doubt. Indeed, the much-discussed old man is sitting proudly at the entrance, watching television. And yes, he does throw the cutlery on the table. No offense intended; he's seen it all before, and this is just his way of doing things. Inside, someone is eating just a plate of fries, another still has his coat and hat on, and yet another's dog is lying on the couch. If this isn't your style, then stay away. I, for one, feel right at home. This is an Italian restaurant as it should be. Genuine, pure, original, no frills, no fancy stuff. A waiter arrives after me, half an hour late. Another half hour later, another waiter. Half an hour later, a new person gives me a sweet snack. Meanwhile, the old man has refilled my wine. The staff are kind, friendly, and helpful. The food is delicious, fresh, simple, and affordable. The kitchen is working at top speed. This is quality, honest food, and a cozy atmosphere with real Italians. Appreciate these kinds of places; they're a dying breed. Highly recommended by Hollandstadt.

Excellent food, pizzas shaped and made to order. The pasta... AMAZING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excellent dishes and food, typical Ligurian welcome towards foreigners

Freshly made, great tasting food with wonderful taste & aromas. The staff are kind and responsive. Right on the main street next to the sea and the boardwalk - it makes for a great place for a casual meal that is richly Italian

Wonderful experience, very good and serious staff, the food is really good for the price you pay. Compliments to the owners 👌🏻😉

The food was very good, and the wine was also reasonably priced. €18.00 for a bottle of Pinot Grigio is very relaxed for San Remo. Unfortunately, I can't confirm the opinion of some others in your review that the staff was unfriendly. Everyone was very friendly. The location on the street isn't exactly ideal, but it gets quieter in the evening.

Excellent restaurant facing the sea!

The prosciutto-fungi pizza was good. Nothing special. The service from the older gentleman took some getting used to, as he didn't seem to enjoy his job much. 😂 The restaurant needs a renovation. Find a Tedji to do it for you! 😉 Best regards. Go ahead and have something to eat at that grumpy guy's.

I went with my mom and my partner, and the Margherita pizza was delicious! It seems like a family business. The atmosphere was peaceful, and we liked it :)

We had a lovely evening, good portions, everything was good.
