ristorazione — Albissola Marina · Liguria
Ad Albissola Marina, dove il Corso Bigliati si affaccia sul mare ligure e la Passeggiata degli Artisti porta il nome di chi ha sempre cercato bellezza in queste acque, un'osteria con pescheria annessa racconta il mare senza intermediari.
Mauro and Michela run the place the way one keeps a home: with care and with judgement. Fish arrives every day from the adjoining fish shop, from Ligurian waters and from the fish markets of Genoa and Savona. The supply chain is short by conviction, not convenience: only fresh fish, organically farmed when not wild-caught, chosen according to season.
At the centre of the dining room, the fish counter makes the place's philosophy clear at a glance. With the Crudo Senza Limiti menu (unlimited raw fish) — fifty-five euros per person — chef Mauro comes to every table to present oysters, tartares, red prawns and carpaccios, explaining the provenance and character of each fish. A ritual of transparency that earned the restaurant the Food Awards 2022 recognition.
Every morning the kitchen comes to life before service: bread, focaccia and desserts are prepared by the chef following the recipes of his grandmother Erminia, kept and reinterpreted without breaking faith with them. The entire menu is available gluten-free, fried dishes included, with staff trained in coeliac awareness. Tradition here is not a label: it is the gesture that precedes every opening.
Il pescato del giorno, la stagione, il crudo: la scheda racconta tutto ciò che il mare di Liguria porta in tavola qui.
