07/03/2025: Every time we come to have lunch here, we feel like we're returning to a familiar place, as if we were long-time customers... and yet every time they surprise us as if it were the first. The food? A spectacle. Not simply good, but the kind you feel cooked with love, with the passion of those who don't just put together ingredients, but create experiences. In short, those dishes that make you want to send a message to your grandmother saying: Grandma, don't worry, I found someone who cooks almost as well as you, hoping not to be disinherited. 🥰🥰😂😂
We came accompanied by our two medium-sized dogs, who were welcomed with more enthusiasm than certain restaurants welcome humans. No dirty looks, no annoyed faces, just smiles and a few well-placed pats. If they could, our dogs would have left an enthusiastic review full of woof woofs, how delicious, and would probably have asked to reside here.
The service is impeccable. The girl in the dining room is professional, attentive, fast, never intrusive, in short, the kind of waitress who knows exactly when to intervene and when to let you contemplate the dish with the devotion of someone who has just found the meaning of life in a bite of pasta. If we really have to find a "fault" (and we do it with affection, we swear!), perhaps she could allow herself a little more confidentiality. Nothing forced, just that minimum of complicity that makes you feel even more at home. But this, obviously, is a subjective nuance, like preferring tiramisu to panna cotta, everyone has their own tastes! Overall, the verdict is only one: restaurant promoted with full marks, with honors and an academic kiss! A place where you eat well, you are welcomed warmly and you leave with a full belly and a happy heart. We will return, hungry and happy, as always ... and who knows, maybe next time we will even bring our relatives to make them understand what it really means to eat well.
17/02/2025: A small restaurant but great cuisine in picturesque Bordighera Alta. In an original decor with quotes written on signs throughout the room, the dishes are beautifully presented. The bread (with olives, etc.), pasta, and other smoked salmon are made by the owner and if there are frozen ingredients (octopus, etc.) this is indicated on the menu. The products are local. The young waitress, pleasant, speaks French. The value for money is very good, especially for the dishes with fish (€17/for a dish with a good quantity of Umbrine and its accompaniment). The kitchens are visible from the room. A very pleasant moment in this enchanting place in Liguria so well painted by Monet!
