It would be 1 star if not for the staff friendness.I was here for dinner, arranged for 20:15 (times are relevant). The restaurant offers 4 set menus, all of them have focaccia with different companion food, water and a glass of house wine:1. A cured meats and cheeses tagliere, and a veggie souffle (20 euros)2. A porcini pasta dish followed by a porcini tagliata (25 euros)3. A wild boar pasta dish followed by wild boar and polenta (20 euros)4. A mixed grilled meats meal (30 euros, min 2 people)Orders were taken at 20:30. Some focaccia appeared within minutes. I opted for the porcini set meal.Around 20:50 people who took meal 1 were served. But people who took meals 2 and 3 had to wait until 21:30 (!!!) to get their pasta. And the main courses of meals 2 and 3 were served around 22:10. Times were clearly not acceptable. But, at least for meal 2, the food itself was NOT acceptable as well, completely different from what normally meant to be (and of course, what was served was much cheaper than what expected). To be explicit:The porcini pasta was served with a sauce mainly made of smoked bacon with only tiny bits of porcini: the porcini flavour utterly lost, given the huge amount of smoked baconThe main course, advertised as a tagliata chianina with porcini, is meant to be a slab of meat at least 5 cm thick, done on charcoal, sliced in 1 cm thick slices, covered in fresh raw porcini cut in a julienne fashion: instead I got a slab of meat barely 3 cm thick unevenly cooked (and NOT on charcoal), cut in thick slabs, deadly cold (!!!), covered by slices of Parmesan cheese, and with a tablespoon of porcini sauce on a side: totally unacceptable, it is almost cheating the customer.I did look around, and the set meal 1, although fairly abundant, was also on the cheap side: some plain different cured meats, a couple of cheap spread cheeses (gorgonzola and stracchino), some anchovies: normally, a "plate of cheese" means a selection of cheeses with some peculiarities (like mountain goat cheese, cheese with herbs etc): again, what served here is far from what normally expected when a cheese plate is advertised.

If you ever visit Sarzana, you must dine at NovePunto80. The service is super friendly, the food is more than delicious , it simply melts in your mouth. The portions are generous and they know how to make salads. They use local DoP products, which really adds value to their already wonderful dishes. We truely enjoyed this place after touring Italy for over a week and a half.

Overall, I was disappointed with my meal. The table was in the basement area which has nothing special to say about its decor. We ordered one of the tagliata's that you cook at your table. Unfortunately, the stone was not hot enough and we had to request a replacement. The vegetable side dishes with cheese were a highlight of the meal. Overall, I thought the price was too high given the quality of the meal and the experience compared to other places to eat in Sarzana.

Ristorante trovato tramite The Fork, per una cena in famiglia. Locale molto carino, curato e accogliente. In sala c'era solo una ragazza che ha servito tutti con il sorriso e sempre con disponibilità . La carne....! Ah, ottima. Black Angus cotta a mestiere, saporita e leggera. Niente da dire, una bella scoperta. Consigliatissimo
