A special evening requires a special place, a special setting, and special treatment.
We wanted to treat ourselves this evening, on a normal Wednesday in early September, going to a new place that inspired us based on reviews seen here on Google Maps, as many do.
The high scores were absolutely deserved.
Courteous staff accompanied the dishes served with accurate descriptions, taking care of the guest from the very beginning with a delicate welcome entrée that, in our case, immediately delighted our taste buds.
A delicate octopus and a plate of stuffed zucchini flowers made us understand that every star was deserved.
For me, a fried vegetable and mixed seafood dish captured my desire for fish with a hint of sage. My wife's ravioli (also fish-based) were enveloping and very flavorful, with a reduction that was more of a composition of flavors than a condiment.
Our daughter didn't want us to finish dinner, so she had to finish it early. Despite this, I was pleasantly surprised by a mini selection of desserts for two at the restaurant, which I unfortunately wasn't able to try.
They also took care of our little dog and the needs of our little girl and her food.
A restaurant I've already started recommending to everyone I know and intend to do so here too.
I hope to return soon. Congratulations.

After many years of not coming to this restaurant, we returned on Friday, August 29th. Unfortunately, it was a very windy evening, cold, and our table was on the outdoor lawn. It was impossible to sit inside; fortunately, they moved us to the veranda, where the difference was minimal. Although there are side awnings, they weren't used. We couldn't sit inside. We agreed, but had a quick dinner (depending on the service) and then left. The food is always good, and the service is decent, but it's not the Babette of a few years ago. Still, recommended, but check the weather forecast. My review is meant to be critical, not polemical, and as I always say, it's based on my personal opinion and quality standards.

Every year we enjoy dining at this restaurant at least once. This year, too, all the dishes were excellent, but... the ending was a shame. The sorbet was inedible because it was completely frozen. Even though we had ordered it ahead of time, it had been forgotten, so when we asked again, it was served quickly, but without considering the fact that it was inedible served like that. The service was very good, but the maître d' could use a little humility. See you next year.

Here you can enjoy delicious fish with a beautiful view of the sea. The service is excellent, and the wine list leaves nothing to be desired. We'd love to come back!

Excellent restaurant, a little expensive for Italy, but the quality is there and the service is good in addition to the sea view.

Pleasant outdoor patio, good service and amazing raw fish dishes. Hidden jem! As we were planning to go to Trattoria del mare, but we didn't have reservation and they were fully booked.

Ristorante molto accogliente collocato davanti all’isola di Gallinara, un po’ fuori dal centro di Albenga, ma facilmente raggiungibile. Presentazione dei piatti eccellente e ottima la loro qualità e quantità. Staff preparato e gentile. Quando completamente pieno e non è utilizzato il dehor esterno, è però piuttosto rumoroso e i tavoli sono molto ravvicinati.
