Ristorante La Mia Cucina In Varazze

02/06/2026: Very nice place and very friendly staff. The problem is the kitchen. At the neighboring tables, the dishes arrived one at a time, which immediately put me on alert. We ordered appetizers and a main course. Incredibly, the first course arrived an hour and a quarter after ordering, and the second after another hour. As I feared, they arrived a few minutes apart, so while someone was finishing their meal, someone else still didn't have their plate. Considering there were only four tables with a total of 25 seats, the wait was decidedly excessive. Moving on to the quality of the food, I ordered the trio of fried anchovies, which became a second order with the addition of fried porcini mushrooms that I hadn't requested. The pasta with clams was bland, and I doubt the clams were fresh (they weren't bad, just flavorless). There was no asterisk on the menu indicating the use of frozen ingredients, so I assumed they were fresh. Unfortunately, the quality-price ratio of this restaurant leaves much to be desired.
