The food was delicious; we left satisfied and with full bellies. They offer an appetizer each to start the meal, and a dessert to finish. The staff was very friendly and approachable, making it feel like you're in an old-fashioned osteria. We, who aren't locals, were treated to a delightful menu in dialect, which the very kind waiter translated for us. The place is full of period photos and signs, very charming. Congratulations, highly recommended!

This is a place like there should be many more of. At least two per town. Delicious and plentiful food. Fairly priced. The atmosphere is charming and full of character. Couldn't ask for more.

We ate very well, generous portions, especially the first courses.
The waiters were excellent: young, dynamic, friendly, and helpful.

A homey place. Excellent, friendly, and kind staff. The food is truly delicious, with generous portions. They also offer chocolate fritters and liqueurs. It doesn't get any better than this.
The prices are very fair.
I recommend everyone to make a reservation; they almost never get a seat.
We booked on August 1st, and the first available spot was August 25th.

Fantastic as always! Excellent quality food, delicious, and generous portions. The service was "hands-on" (don't show up if you're expecting waiters from a fancy restaurant) but fast and accurate despite it being busy! Great value (they offer an appetizer and dessert). A must-try every time you're in Alassio!

Seven of us had lunch at this osteria on our way back from summer vacation, and it was a wonderful discovery! Everything was perfect: friendly and fast service, delicious food, and generous portions. We tried a bit of everything, sharing dishes: the pesto gasse and walnut ravioli are highly recommended, not to mention the farinata and sweet frisceu, served as appetizers and desserts. Special mention goes to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, who made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Allow us to share our experience at this iconic OSTERIA I MATETTI in Alassio.
We're from Nice, and working in the hospitality industry, we know how crucial hospitality and service are. Here, everything exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the entire dining room team. A huge thank you, in particular, to Alessandro and Jacopo, who, with their professionalism, kindness, and elegance, made this moment unforgettable. Forgive us for not mentioning everyone's names, but every person we met deserves our compliments.
The service, the attention, the atmosphere: everything was perfect. And what can we say about the food! Traditional, generous dishes, homemade with passion by the chefs—a true culinary journey.
It's an absolute must-eat when in Alassio. Everything is designed to please, and we were delighted from start to finish. We're returning to Nice already looking forward to seeing you again very soon.
A little tip: book in advance, because this kind of quality inevitably attracts a lot of people.
A big thank you to the entire team for this exceptional experience. See you soon,
Carla & Christelle
