We had several Aperols in Albenga. This was the best in terms of taste and the most extensive in terms of snacks.
We had dinner some weeks ago and was a bad experience. 1st the bottom bread of the burger was wet (because of lettuce or green vegetables/herbs). 2nd de middle part of pizza was burned and the fries were not super nice. 3th he charged us 3,5€/person for the service/place setting, we found this a scam and not normal because it's nowhere written, he should add it in his menu
Excellent pizza, the mixed salad pizza was very good.<br>Cute atmosphere, good service.<br>We ordered tagliatelle with shrimp and the spaghetti arrived, but it was still good. 4 stars for your trust.
Nice place for dinner in the square in the center of Albenga<br>Friendly and helpful staff<br>Nicola, the owner, is very welcoming<br>Good food<br>Affordable prices<br>Plus, they gave us a 50% discount with TheFork... €25 for two
Embarrassing service, we got up in despair after an hour of waiting for two steaks that never arrived. The staff was anything but professional, rude... especially the girl who, even though the delay from the kitchen wasn't her fault, started to respond with an annoyed and pedantic air.<br>The owner even runs two restaurants at once... that says a lot.
Acceptable food, terrible service. We got up in despair after waiting an hour or so for two cuts of meat (which never arrived).<br>Avoid if you can.
rude staff, endless waits
Terrible service, very rude staff, endless waits for food, and when you ask for clarification, the answers are increasingly rude. NEVER AGAIN!
Needs to be reviewed, EVERYTHING:<br>SERVICE: I ordered a Coke with lemon, but only the can and two lemon slices on a small plate arrived. They assumed I was supposed to drink it from the glass where I already had water. The waitress did the bill on her cell phone, with her back to me, without verbally explaining what she was counting. The Fork discount was applied, but we had to trust her. The waitress, on the other hand, asked me to pay the bill in cash (obviously, she wasn't satisfied).<br>CUISINE: The burger was truly awful, the bread was burnt under, a slice of cheddar, two slices of tomato, and two mixed salad leaves (the ones in the bag), industrial-grade meat, the kind frozen from the supermarket. Poor company cafeteria fries, for the modest sum of 14 euros!!! A side of battered vegetables (photo attached) for 7 euros!! My partner found pieces of onion in the trofie with pesto (probably stirred with a spoon from another dish), and the carbonara was served with a mountain of chopped parsley on top... I don't know. The photos of the dishes on Tripadvisor and Google probably date back to a previous management.
A small place with outdoor seating, friendly and helpful staff and owner. We ate very well without spending too much.
A very nice place in the center of Albenga, clean and well-kept, with several tables in the small square in front. I must say I went with different expectations, in that, after searching for the place with the word "barbecue" on Google, I expected to find a wide selection of meats to choose from. Instead, I found a menu with 5-6 pizzas and focaccias, 3-4 first courses, and a mixed grill for the main course (1 wurstel, 3 arrosticini, 1 rather small hamburger, and a small piece of sausage). The focaccia I ordered was thin and crispy, good if you like that texture, which unfortunately I'm not a fan of. Perhaps I was unlucky in arriving on a night when the menu was very limited. I'll try again another time.
I booked with The Fork for today at 12:30. When I arrived at the agreed time, I found it closed. No one had warned me. It doesn't seem professional to me.
The pizza tasted more like an inadequate focaccia. We paid almost the same price for the pizzas and drinks.
Poor quality of the starters, extremely slow service, dirty cutlery, very limited menu.
We weren't thrilled with the tough meat at all, but the fried bread was good.
Very friendly staff,<br>The food is excellent
From "it'll get better tonight" to "it can't get worse"... and yet it does!<br><br>We sit down at 8:15 PM, hungry and confident: the menu includes rib-eye steak with baked potatoes. What a treat awaits us!<br><br>The owner, clearly in "mission impossible" mode (he runs two establishments simultaneously, a pub and a restaurant), instead offers us amatriciana and mixed grill. Well, come on, we adapt. There are nine of us, and then the tenth person arrives. They add a cover charge, all good... for now.<br><br>At 8:50 PM – after 35 minutes – the drinks arrive. "Okay, they've taken a bit longer, but now it's time to get going!" Instead, at 9:20 PM we're served pasta: not the promised amatriciana, but a creative carbonara, let's say. So creative that we found cream, milk, and maybe an egg for show. The pancetta was freshly pan-fried, the spaghetti overcooked and broken. Pasta for nine. Yes, all at once. Yes, even the comments from our chef friends.<br><br>At that point, the polite complaints begin, the owner apologizes and tells us the meat is already on the grill (9:35 PM). Excellent! We say, "Oh well, we'll get back to it."<br><br>No way.<br><br>10:20 PM – The "mixed grill" arrives: 36 skewered scallions (about 3 per person). The dishes? Disappeared with the first course and never returned. We eat directly from the grill onto our napkins. Culinary avant-garde.<br><br>Then, 10:30 PM – 9 sausages rolled on skewers and 9 salamis, cooked until dehydrated. One bite and they crumbled like chalk. Side dish? Dessert? Coffee? What is this, a quiz?<br><br>At 10:50 PM, we finished with a bill of €29.77 per person: no pasta (rightly omitted), a 20% discount with TheFork, but still… 10 people for an evening like this?<br>It then went down to €25.<br><br>Two years ago, the food was good. Last night, it was a downward spiral; with every course, we said to ourselves, "It can't get any worse." And yet, it did.<br><br>Yesterday, we were angry. But one day, I know, we'll find ourselves among friends laughing about this absurd evening, like when you recount an episode of Kitchen Nightmares... but experienced live. Except we didn't have Chef Cannavacciuolo to save us.
