Trattoria L'astigiana - ALASSIO

When we walked past the door of this restaurant, it appeared to be full but on enquiring, we found there was another room at the back. There are doors onto the street on both sides. We had an excellent meal at a reasonable price and would be happy to return.

A local friend suggested us to try this little restaurant for a quick bite for lunch. We went early and we had the lucky chance to sit outside, towards the sea. It's a home-run trattoria where you can have a full meal at pre-fixed price. Our lady friend, who had joined us, ordered the fixed menu, while we ordered dishes à la carte. Actually there was not such a big difference between the too options. In fact our friend was not able to eat the whole thing, the taste was the same and so were the prices. It's like a convent/university canteen-food but served by waiters or by the owners at your table: a little too bland, tasteless, and quality is questionable. All in all, it was quite OK, the location is nice, along the sea promenade, and prices are really adequate. Nevertheless I would not suggest to try it for dinner. You get what you pay.

We were recommended to go here for a taste of authentic Ligurian cooking in a 'local ' atmosphere and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and we were well looked-after by Michela sorry if I have the spelling wrong who runs the place with her husband.. She even smiled at my attempts to speak Italian! We 'd be more than happy to go back for more !!

Piacevole locale anche con dehor, buoni piatti ben curati ed esteticamente gradevoli.

Non c'e' molto da dire. Mangia bene! per tornare e tornare. una frittata cosi' tanto che non l'ho presa. Bene!
