Il Veliero Amabile - ALASSIO

We were expecting an Italian restaurant with fresh local seafood. But we found the menu offered several “Greek style” dishes and only some local seafood. And they offer sushi on the menu ??? — so that took more away from our “local Italian fare” expectations. I got one of their signature dishes half lobster with squid ink pasta. It was disappointing. The dish was swimming in a red tomato oil, pasta didn’t taste fresh and the small half lobster was over cooked. My husband got a dish with pasta raw tuna in a pistachio sauce. His was good, we thought. But we won’t go back and can’t recommend this restaurant when there are so many amazing others to choose from in Alassio.

Be aware, the proprietors are cheaters! If you order a plateau di crudités they charge you twice! We ordered 6 oysters, 200 g of bulots, 100 g of shrimps. Received: 3 oysters, 9 bulots, 2 shrimps. But all was billed as ordered (not as received). When I asked the woman proprietor why, she was very ignorant, told me that I was mean and insulting her beautiful restaurant, that we had received all as ordered and just did not like to pay … Only after I told that I had made a photo of the dish and that I am ready to call the police, she gave me back the price of 3 oysters. Moreover, the food was not tasty, the service most unfriendly (with the exception of the young servant who tried to do his best). Strong advice avoid this restaurant!

We stopped by for a quick bite. The service was incredibly slow and when they finally came to take our order we were told the kitchen was about to close. We asked for a small change on a dish, which was denied. The appetisers we ordered were good but nothing extraordinary. We were not impressed by the service or atmosphere.

Very kind staff food, spectacular location. They deserve all the stars!

Local seafront, excellent location. excellent dishes, fish, and varied.
