Pignatta Rossa In Albissola marina

02/09/2024: I am editing my previous review which was 5 stars... Unfortunately, the last time we tried to eat here we were treated very badly. We have been going here for some time now, and it has always been great food, with friendly staff, and reasonable service. On this occasion we arrived when it was busy and we were happy to wait (as they don't take bookings). It was extremely hot, so we asked if we could have a table for 2 around one side of the outdoor seating, rather than the one they had offered, which was in front of the hot kitchen door. We were told twice by the staff member that this was absolutely not possible. Only a minute later, we see the staff moving a table and chairs for 2 around the side where we had asked to sit. They placed other customers there when they had already told us this wasn't possible. It was very insulting as they did this right in front of us without any care. When we challenged this, they had nothing to say. We left after that, and will not be returning. I feel embarrassed as we have recommended this place to many people, but now I regret that.

01/09/2024: simple but good restaurant. You can't book so I recommend arriving early because you have to wait a long time, very good food and a fair price, but the quantity of the super frying pan is really exaggerated (two of those in the photo). although it was delicious with lots of fish! we believe they got the quantity wrong, believing it was for 6 when it was for 4 because it was truly impossible!😅 despite everything, have a good dinner!
