Trattoria Zia Cate In Gavi

03/05/2026: I'm giving it 3 stars so as not to excessively damage the average rating of this lovely restaurant, but I would actually have given it a 1. We had lunch on May Day, but the service was a nightmare. We arrived at 12:30 with children and were served at 2:30 PM. The waiters were scattered throughout the park and virtually unavailable. We repeatedly asked for an explanation, but these young waiters didn't know what to say. Only around 3:00 PM, after numerous reminders, did a barely 18-year-old waitress show up to say, "We have some problems in the kitchen. As an apology, we'll offer you some wine if you'd like." Even just paying was difficult and time-consuming. I certainly would have preferred one of the owners to come and clarify the situation. It was probably just a bad day, because I've been going to this restaurant sporadically for years and have always had a good experience. I hope this review is constructive and can help the staff in the future.

21/04/2026: In my opinion, this is the best seafood restaurant in the area. Both the summer (outdoor, beautiful) and winter (indoor) locations are welcoming. The menu and dishes are carefully prepared, tasty, and beautiful to look at. Service is provided by young, always helpful staff. I highly recommend this place. If you find it, try the raw fish, which is particularly good and reasonably priced.
