26/08/2025: This is a seafood restaurant. The location is very pleasant, as you dine in a small square. The dishes weren't all successful: the raw and cooked fish appetizer was very good, as was the trofie and shrimp entree, while the paccheri with squid was disjointed and under-seasoned.
Regarding the service, it could definitely be improved, as the appetizers were all served at once, while the first courses were served asynchronously. The desserts, which concluded the dinner, were very pleasant.
I recommend providing waiters with a wine list to hand out to customers.
Good value.
In any case, despite a few imperfections in the dinner, I had a very pleasant evening.
With a little more attention, the fourth star isn't far off.
I will return and recommend it.
20/08/2025: La Rosa dei Venti Restaurant – Albissola
A truly pleasant restaurant, located outdoors in a charming little square along the Albissola promenade. The atmosphere is relaxed and charming, perfect for an al fresco summer dinner. The cuisine offers traditional Ligurian dishes, carefully crafted and prepared with care: a wonderful discovery for those seeking authentic local flavors.
The restaurant has great potential, but the experience was slightly marred by inattentive service: we had ordered a Vermentino, but were served another wine (by mistake) without any communication, no apology, or even asking if I wanted to change it. Furthermore, after requesting pepper for the first course, it never arrived.
Special mention goes to the owner, who was extremely kind and attentive: at the end of the meal, she offered us an amaro and a typical dessert, a gesture that improved the overall impression and left a positive memory.
Recommended, but with a small suggestion: improve the service and attention to the tables, because the setting and the cuisine deserve to be showcased to the fullest.
