Ristorante Babette In Albenga

We are 2 workers staying at the Sole Hotel where BABETTE IS. THE PLACE IS PLEASANT AND WELL-KEPT. We enter after work to ask for a table. A blonde lady welcomes us with a smile and kindly invites us to sit down, saying that her colleague would be arriving soon. Meanwhile, the waiter arrives, he looks us up and down as if we were plague-ridden, tells us to wait, comes back with a menu, showing us the prices, making it clear to us that we are leaving because they are not suitable for the place. Naturally, we would have gone to change, but since this arrogant and immodest person judges books by their covers, we preferred to leave. Thanks to the blonde waitress for her empathy and kindness.

I'm desperately searching for a flaw, a defect, a shortcoming... I can't give a full-star review for everything: the welcome, the location, the high-quality ingredients, the service... I'm afraid I won't be believed! The welcome entrée, the small farewell pastry, and in between, the high-quality dishes... a seafood and mountain fry, or a mind-blowing saffron ravioli... and then the portions!!!! Not abundant... more! How wonderful to see people who love their work so much... well done!! The price? But what does the price matter with a dinner like this!! (In any case, absolutely in line with the high quality expressed!!) See you soon...

Excellent seafood restaurant, generous portions, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good wine list.

We had a midweek lunch on the veranda overlooking the beach, given the beautiful day. The food was excellent, especially the fried food, crispy and dry, just as it should be.

Culinary excellence!!! A restaurant right on the seafront offering Mediterranean cuisine made with the finest ingredients! The service is friendly, attentive, and attentive to every need. Try this restaurant, a rare gem in Albenga's dining scene. The wine list is extensive, as is the dessert menu for those with a sweet tooth...true delicacies, unforgettable in both taste and presentation!! Excellent! You are the best you can get.

Beautiful location, excellent, high-quality food. Friendly and helpful staff.

We were here in the days after Ferragosto. A very nice place with a direct view of the Gallinara. The restaurant is very well-organized, with somewhat hectic service, even with waiters who were at times annoyed. They stuffed us a bit between courses without giving us time to breathe. We ate the appetizer, main course, and dessert with a bottle of wine in 1 hour and 15 minutes... The stuffed zucchini flowers were completely tasteless. The pasta with pesto was good, but it's hard to go wrong in Liguria... The mixed grill was average, as the cuttlefish were tough and not very good, the swordfish seemed frozen, and the sea bream was the best part (but with a lot of bones). The white chocolate semifreddo dessert was cloying and overpriced. The bill was steep.

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.

For the third time we dined here...it never disappoints us...the quality of the products is very high...excellent service and a wonderful location...the view of the island from the edge of the beach is beautiful...we will return again and again
