"This was our third visit and today lunch was awful. Ordered mussels for the appetizer and there was little to no marinera in the pot. I asked for some extra and it took 3 servers to bring it, but they brought a huge bowl of broth to go with the other mussels on the menu not the marinera that I had…they took it away and finally brought some. Then the server rudely asked if I was finally ready for our pasta they brought mine and gave the wrong pasta to my husband they took it back and about 5 minutes later took my away too…about 15 minutes later they brought both of our pasta. My husband’s was supposed to be spicy tomato sauce it literally tasted like tomato paste with no spice. After we paid we were asked if we wanted an after dinner drink as an apology for the food mixup. Normally limoncello is given away anyway for free after dinner so this was so rude. We will never eat there again."

"Ristorante alle porte del 'budello ' di Alassio. Servizio attento, professionale e moderno con piacevole conversazione del personale di sala. Menù con proposte variegate e abbinamenti ricercati che non denaturalizzano la materia prima. Giusto rapporto qualità prezzo considerando la location e la carta di proposta. E possibile prenotare un tavolo all 'aperto vista cucina.... Consigliatissimo."

"Disappointing dinner. The Insalata di Mare was very bland. The squid in curry sounded interesting and different from the usual preparations, but it just didn't work. The curry sauce was good, but the squid were simply boiled and the combination was unpleasant, not interesting. Same with the squid ink pasta with shrimp and coconut milk sauce. The unusual combination just didn't work. Also, for 18 euros one expects more than 2 medium sized shrimp in the dish. The fried calamari were fine, but when you only get rings and no bodies, then you know that they're just out of the freezer bag and right into the fryer. Service was friendly, but not what it should be. We ordered one appetizer and then three mains. The appetizer and two mains came out at the same time, then the third main came much later. Everyplace else we have eaten in Alassio has been great. You can probably do better than here just by picking a place at random."

"Had dinner during the week so the place wasn't crowded. Service provided by both the owner and the very attentive waiters. Chosen the menu around thirty euros. All very good. Surely the low price of the menu also reduced the portions. Very small portion of pineapple. However, the cake was really too small. In my opinion, it's better not to put dessert on the fixed price menu. So if you want it, you can take it separately"

"The menu is focused on meat, even if there are other options; some of the best steaks are visible aging in the open fridge display. We had tartare (well presented and very rich) and a sort of bruschetta as starters; then we order an italian steak: delicious and perfectly cooked; the kind of meat that you must not ruin with any sauce: just a little salt and pepper. The steak came with some incredible fried potatoes: thick round slices crunchy outside and creamy inside. Perfect. We had wine, but this place is famous for the extensive craft beer list... many on tap. We definitely want to go back and try something else, this time drinking beer. As said in the title, the setting is very modest, but in a good way; cozy and relaxed. One little negative detail: on the menu, near the traditional food list, there is a dedicated area for the steaks; but this is just a list of countries from where the meat is coming from: Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Uruguay....without any description useful to choose (if you are not an expert) ... tenderness, flavor, texture... something meaningful like sometimes you see on the wine list. And the waiter wasn't helpful as well. It's a little frustrating having so many options without guidance. The price is very good, because you pay only for the meat, not for some fancy tablecloths and silverware."
