Ristorante Il Vecchio Cuoco In Pietra ligure

19/06/2025: I have been a regular visitor to Albenga for 4 years, I know many restaurants but I had never been here because the place is hidden behind a Bingo hall, not visible from the main road. It has a large parking lot, a very precious feature in Liguria; I arrived there following friends who were there for a vintage car rally (these events with rallies are exceptional opportunities for tourism promotion and some municipal administrations do not want them)! I immediately booked for 4, for the following evening. Elegant, clean place with impeccable service, without unpleasant waiting; constant supervision by Luciano with a discreet and affable presence at the same time. We ate appetizers, first course or second course à la carte. I report on what I chose: shrimp and artichoke salad with an incredibly satisfying presentation and flavor for the eye and palate. Linguine with clams superb: ideal cooking of the pasta and excellently savory and blended sauce. To close as a dessert the Parfait with fresh fruit: excellent. I drank Pigato of superior quality of their production. I shouldn't say it but the price, less than 60 euros per place, for the location, the service, the menu, the quality of the food and the presentation of the dishes, is completely proportionate and favorable for the customer. We will return and bring friends, sure to make a good impression.

13/06/2025: An exceptional moment, out of time, for a "buon ricordo" forever... Ivana and Nicoletta's meal was fantastic, Italo's service was friendly and Mr. Luciano's welcome so touching... We are very grateful for your kindness, your attention to detail and these fabulous wines that you made us taste. We will be back soon. Thank you ❤️🙏🏻😊✅
