Da Puppo

Reviewed By pfp2013

In the centre of the ancient town of Albenga showing Roman , Paleochristian as well and medieval monuments the restaurant is located in a typical narrow street and keeps its fashion of the last centuries with the big ovens for woodfire used for cooking but also to prepare the tasteful farinata.Aside the look the most important thing are the old typical recipes perfectly prepared. It deserves a trial

Trattoia Pizzeria Da Leo

Reviewed By JosKagenaar

We had both lunch as well as dinner at this restaurant. The food, wine and service were consistently good! Both seafood as well as meat were very a high quality and carefully prepared. The recommended white wine (Roero Arneis) was highly enjoyable and friendly priced. Both owners run the place, where the woman offers very pleasant personal service to the guests and the man really knows how to cook. Highly recommended!

We had a dinner at Ristorante Babette in May this year. We ordered starters and main course. The food was delicious especially the starters! Before the dinner the chief came up to us and translated all the menu which was in Italian and explained what every dish from the menu was made of. Wow! :-) I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who is staying in Albenga.

Who would have thought ... It was the best lunch I have had in a long time! Alex serves really amazing food and it is all nicely presented (see the pictures), cooked to perfection, all very flavorful and for good prices...with amazing views on the Mediterranean and the Gallinara Island.The food we had was really amazing! Fresh seafood and fish cooked without over cooking them, beautiful sardines and shrimps and calamari battered to perfection before being fried...and the desserts...out of this world!!!!They also have a Bagni where you can roast in the sun and go for a swim. The beach is maybe not the "nicest" but the access to the water makes up for it and the views as well.Our new place for lunch...or dinner ;-)

We ate al fresco at this charming restaurant, under the stars with birds chirping nearby. We started with ravioli which had been handmade by one of the many talented family members who own and run the restaurant. A generous helping, it was full of flavour and perfectly prepared. Second course was roast beef with rocket and Parmesan cheese - served at room temperature, I think this was a perfect choice for a hot summer night. Two of us continued and ordered the panna cotta with strawberries: a necessary indulgence. We finished our meal with biscotti and liqueur. A perfect evening in the countryside. With a bottle of red wine, this meal for 3 cost €70.Grazie, grazie, grazie :-)Un caro saluto dall'Italia!

We came across this place by chance but are so glad we did! A large local group filled the main dining room, but on a balmy evening we were happy to be seated on the street, only slightly menaced by the occasional bicycle. The proprietor in her asymmetric glasses and shoes made us very welcome, and had another table hauled over to give us more space. The food was sophisticated, fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced. I love that places like this are popping up all over!

La Tana del Gusto

Ristorante con cucina regionale,pesce e mediterranea con ottima vista mare e isola Gallinara, sia della sala che del dehor estivo.

Reviewed By Alan F

There is a time for fancy and elegant dining and a time for basic well prepared food in a humble atmosphere. In either extreme what makes it memorable is a combination of quality and genuine hospitality. This place is as simple as it gets, but the genuine warmth of the greeting and the fair value for a limited number of well prepared dishes generates repeat customers. My wife's fritto de calamari and vegetables compared favorably to the versions we have had at many high end restaurants. There was only one bottle of white wine on offer, a Fiano Salento, surprisingly a table wine from Campania rather than Liguria. But it was of excellent quality and modest price. Sicilian cannoli offered another diversion from the typical regional fare.Take a walk to the back end of the old town, on a street full of modest eateries (including the local legend, Puppo). Inspect the blackboard menu and see if there is something on offer that appeals to you. Easy on the budget and palate, this is a good place for a basic but satisfying meal.

The place is simple and located in a nice square of the of the beautiful old town of albenga. We went for dinner and the restaurant was full. We booked in advance and were allocated a table at 5cm from the entrance door. Very unpleasant as each time some one enters, the wind hurts you. We were not yet served and a table in the centre of the restaurant became available. We asked to move and the answer was “no, we are full”. What?!? We booked as well and you are forcing us to stay in a freezy table...the food was ok but nothing extraordinary. But once you eat in uncomfortable situations and the attitude is so “Ligurian”...that does not matter. There are so many places around....
