Pomella In Finale ligure

09/12/2024: 5 stars why? Because in this era of artificial and industrial flavours, finding home cooking, respecting the Ligurian tradition, has become an odyssey. We went there for the first time tonight and it was a big surprise. Few dishes on the menu, all of the day, in addition to the pizzas: a good sign! ...evidence of the freshness of the food (I'm always wary of menus that are too rich, a SIGN OF INTENSE USE OF THE FREEZER). A menu dedicated to strictly Ligurian TASTES with few concessions to standard dishes. (that's right... otherwise what am I going to do in Balestrino to eat fast food?). A mixed starter. First courses: tagliatelle with mushrooms and "touch" ravioli. Second courses: rabbit hunter style, roast beef, tripe, snails. Excellent roast beef and superb chips with Calizzano potatoes. Tripe... no comment, as they used to do, very good. I add a mixed starter which is superlative for its freshness and authenticity (local homemade cheese and Russian salad with homemade mayonnaise, quality cold cuts, courgette omelette). Wine: a now almost unobtainable local nostralino as well as a rosé also local as well as something else but I choose the nostralino: superlative for the blend of grapes and with a "round" and fruity taste that those accustomed to fashionable bottled wines will never be able to understand . Truly excellent service due to the kindness, courtesy and friendliness of the owners. Low prices for a very high final quality/price ratio. Highly recommended for those who know how to appreciate the specialties of our land. For those accustomed to fast food cuisine, to nouvelle cuisine revisited with 10 ravioli on a well-garnished plate... the advice is not to come. Ligurian hinterland...forever! Compliments!!! Keep it up.
