Trattoria La Familiare In Albissola marina

We had a risotto called "marvellous," and it was truly marvelous, not only in name but also in fact. Well done. We had another first course, the paccheri with three-course pesto, three broccoli, and cod and burrata. It was very good, with a unique flavor we'd never tried before. The flavor of both the risotto and the paccheri was unique, salty and peppery with just the right amount of black pepper and salt. We loved all the first courses we had. Not to mention the artichoke appetizer. Delicious! Well done. The atmosphere was informal and friendly. The kitchen staff were as attentive as needed to prepare such delicious dishes. Well done. As for the ambiance, the Mina Morrison paintings were beautiful, but perhaps too many scattered objects should be removed. Highly recommended!

Great experience. Food, wine and service were all top notch. 50m walk from carpark with easy access

Excellent and refined dishes. Excellent wine, what more can I say?

An exceptional fritto misto, in a place that had been pilloried by a pompous food critic for a "wrong" fish soup. We ordered it as an appetizer, along with a nice bottle of Bianchetta Genovese. Fresh fish (squid, shrimp, red mullet, baby octopus, sardines) lightly floured, fried beautifully, fragrant on the outside and soft on the inside. One of the best I've eaten in recent years. The first courses stray slightly from the purest Ligurian tradition (after all, the owner has Emilian origins), but they do so with essential creativity and good taste: cacio e pepe risotto garnished with shrimp tartare; tagliatelle with monkfish, cherry tomato sauce, and chili powder on the edge of the plate. Simple combinations, which nevertheless allow you to appreciate the freshness of the fish: quality that's not a given on the Ligurian Riviera, where everyone wants to eat fish like there's no tomorrow, but few restaurants manage to offer truly fresh and well-cooked produce. If I remember correctly, the menu also included a more traditional seafood spaghetti. And mandilli with pesto. A good pesto. The definitive confirmation came with the baked sea bream (catch of the day): very fine but flavorful, crispy meat, with an aroma that only wild fish possess, served with two delicious side salads. The dishes and menus were brought to us by a waitress; another lady took care of the wine; the owner took our orders. Since Luca Iaccarino's review also blasted the staff, I feel it's only right to add that all of them treated us with absolute kindness and even friendliness. When we asked for the bill, we waited a little longer than expected (which is perfectly normal and can happen). Being in a bit of a hurry, we asked a second time, and the owner immediately made up for it, making light of the situation with a joke. We said goodbye with a laugh, satisfied with a wonderful evening. A lovely place, worth trying.

Superlative menu, especially for the price. Excellent service Pietro On Fire!!!!!

As the sign suggests, a very familiar place, excellent food, courteous and punctual service.

One of my favorite restaurants in the area, it always satisfies my craving for fresh fish, often raw, and always excellent. The chef makes a wasabi mayonnaise that's brilliant but addictive. Last time I tried the fish tartare, which was wonderful, and the fried shrimp, squid, and vegetables—I was so happy! I also adore the owner... but don't tell him!

An excellent restaurant, found by chance while strolling through the city streets. The dishes were well-prepared, the service was attentive, short, and pleasant. I'd definitely return if I were to pass through this area again. The prices were in line with the quality of the food offered, and the portions were more than generous.
