    Siamo stati qui per una cena di addio al celibato direttamente sulla spiaggia. In generale ci siamo trovati bene. Il personale è gentile e simpatico. La vista mare è gradevole, ma il contesto è un po' alla buona. Quanto alla cucina il fritto ci è piaciuto moltissimo: buono e leggero. Il dolce (cheesecake alla fragola) davvero ottimo. La carbonara di pesce invece è cucinata male ed è un po' distante dalla descrizione fantastica che ne fanno i camerieri. Conto accettabile. Insomma bene, ma migliorabile!

    (Translated by Google) Zero would be too much. Mid-August dinner. An hour and a half standing waiting for the table because there were no chairs, after threatening to leave I managed at least to get the children a plate of pasta (ultra-salted), after 10pm .. the seconds did not arrive ... me ve I go from desperation and I am caught fish in the face by the owner who practically makes me pay the price of the menu. Go everywhere but not here, unless you like to be treated badly. The misunderstanding, the unexpected is there and it is understood, but the lack of education of the owners is also not. In addition, € 65 for a menu of 70 that is not even halfway through makes you understand customer care. (Original) Zero sarebbe pure troppo. Cena di ferragosto. Un’ora e mezza in piedi ad aspettare il tavolo perché mancavano le sedie, dopo aver minacciato di andarmene sono riuscito almeno a far arrivare un piatto di pasta (ultrasalata) ai bambini, dopo le 22.. i secondi non sono arrivati… me ve vado dalla disperazione e vengo preso a pesci in faccia dalla titolare che mi fa pagare praticamente il prezzo del menù. Andate ovunque ma non qui, a meno che non vi piaccia essere trattati male. Il disguido, l’imprevisto vi sta e si capisce, ma la meleducazione dei titolari anche no. Inoltre 65€ per un menù da 70 arrivato nemmeno a metà vi fa capire la cura del cliente.

    The restaurant is in a very strategic position, and the location is very beautiful, you dine a stone's throw from the sea and with your feet on the sand. There were two of us and we ordered stewed octopus as a starter and seafood carbonara and spaghetti with clams as a first course. The dishes were quite good and the portions very generous. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the evening. The only flaw was not being able to order a glass of prosecco, you had to take the whole bottle. The price is average and fair for what we ate.

    (Translated by Google) Returned several times. The food is great and the place is wonderful. Tables on the beach. Very fresh fish. Spaghetti with clams are stratospheric. Kindness and sympathy. The kind of restaurant that, ... when you go out, you can't wait to go back. Congratulations and see you soon (Original) Tornati più volte. Si mangia benissimo e il posto è meraviglioso. Tavolini sulla spiaggia. Pesce freschissimo. Gli spaghetti alle vongole sono stratosferici. Gentilezza e simpatia. Quel tipo di ristorante che,...quando esci, non vedi l'ora di tornarci. Complimenti e a presto

    The restaurant is a pleasant place due to its location overlooking the sea, although it can be uncomfortable to walk on the sand. The peculiarity is that the tables are on the beach, between the umbrellas. Therefore an open environment. The service is of poor quality, even if there are enough staff present, it is very slow, it is not able to satisfy even the simplest requests, it causes a lot of confusion. Regarding the menu, there is an adequate availability of land and sea dishes, whether starters, first courses or second courses. The mussel appetizer is small in quantity, although good, so I would improve the quantity-price ratio. Both the spaghetti with clams and the seafood risotto are tasty and rich. The grilled calamari are delicious and well cooked. The cut of meat however needs to be reviewed, medium rare is still quite raw, difficult to eat. As for the potatoes, the fried ones were very tasty, while the baked ones are very large and therefore raw inside. What absolutely needs to be improved, as it is a highly requested dish, is the mixed fried fish. There are too many vegetables compared to the actual quantity of fish, which above all is dry and excessively salty. Not recommended. Overall, both the service and some dishes need to be reviewed to ensure an adequate experience.

    (Translated by Google) We have been coming to eat for years and we have always enjoyed it. Always very kind and with attention to the customer. This year you can also taste the very good first courses of Roman cuisine, cacio e pepe and carbonara above all. If, on the other hand, you want to eat fish, in addition to carbonara di mare I recommend spaghetti with clams or mixed fry. Abundant portion and also a lot of attention to quality. In the evening you can dine on the beach. Highly recommended !!! (Original) Sono anni che veniamo a mangiare e ci siamo trovati sempre molto bene. Sempre molto gentili e con attenzione verso il cliente. Quest'anno si possono anche gustare dei buonissimi primi della cucina romana, cacio e pepe e carbonara su tutti. Se invece si vuole mangiare pesce, oltre alla carbonara di mare consiglio gli spaghetti alle vongole o il fritto misto. Porzione abbondanti e molta attenzione anche alla qualità. La sera si può cenare sulla spiaggia. Consigliatissimo!!!

    (Translated by Google) Beach restaurant with friendly staff, great food and fast service. We stopped for a quick but tasty dinner before returning home after a long weekend in Pietra Ligure. We ordered fried 6, fried calamari and spaghetti with clams. Good and satisfying dishes. (Original) Ristorante sulla spiaggia con personale gentile, ottima cucina e servizio veloce. Ci siamo fermati per una cena veloce ma sfiziosa prima di ritornare a casa dopo un lungo weekend a Pietra Ligure. Abbiamo ordinato fritto 6, fritto di calamari e spaghetti alle vongole. Portate buone e soddisfacenti.

    Abbiamo cenato con i piedi sulla sabbia.. locale spartano sulla spiaggia, con anche giochi per bambini per intrattenimento. Buona l’insalata di mare, la grigliata di pesce e i calamari fritti che abbiamo preso. Personale gentile. Bell’atmosfera. Consigliato

    (Translated by Google) We entered NOT by chance but after evaluating the 2 bathrooms before and 2 after ... The first impression of a familiar and welcoming environment has been confirmed, the correct prices (and I would say cheaper than the competitors) the friendliness the ATM is welcome ( seeing is believing is not really a standard in this area) and then the really good food (I very much appreciated spaghetti and clams) did the rest. Unfortunately we stop for a few days but for sure we come back some other time ... Don't trust all the positive reviews but try to talk to people and get your idea. Congratulations to all the people who work at the Iguana! (Original) Siamo entrati NON per caso ma dopo aver valutato i 2 bagni prima e i 2 dopo ... La prima impressione di ambiente familiare e accogliente e stata confermata , i prezzi corretti (e direi più convenienti rispetto ai concorrenti) la cordialità il bancomat ben accetto (provare per credere non è proprio uno standard in questa zona) e poi il mangiare veramente buono (ho molto apprezzata spaghetti e vongole) hanno fatto il resto. Purtroppo ci fermiamo pochi giorni ma sicuro qualche altra volta torniamo ... Non fidatevi di tutte le recensioni positive ma provate a parlare con le persone e fatevi la vostra idea. Complimenti a tutte le persone che lavorano all'Iguana !

    Amazing what they squeeze out of such a tiny kitchen. Fantastic dishes, perfectly executed. A team that takes pride in what they do yet is staying relaxed and friendly - a very welcoming place. We'll come again.

    (Translated by Google) I really liked it a lot. You dine by the sea, the place is large and outdoors (you dine right on the beach). Very good organization. The fish dishes are very good. Right portions in some cases abundant. The only advice I could give is to find some form of better serving for some dishes, but what matters is the quality and cooking that are impeccable (for what was my experience and that of 3 other friends). We ate all fish and it was all really good. Well done! (Original) A me è piaciuto davvero un sacco. Si cena in riva al mare, il posto è ampio e all'aperto (si cena proprio sulla spiaggia). Molto buona l'organizzazione. Molto buoni i piatti di pesce. Porzioni giuste in alcuni casi abbondanti. Unico consiglio che potrei dare è trovare qualche forma di impiattamento migliore per alcuni piatti, ma quel che conta è la qualità la cottura che sono impeccabili (per quel che è stata l'esperienza mia e di altri 3 amici). Abbiamo mangiato tutto pesce ed era tutto davvero ottimo. Bravi!

    (Translated by Google) Nicely located on the beach. Friendly service. Family Italian cuisine with food options. Selection somewhat limited due to the size. Good range of beach berths. Also suitable for children. (Original) Schön am Strand gelegen. Freundliche Bedienung. Familiäre italienische Küche mit Essensangeboten. Auswahl bedingt durch die Grösse etwas eingeschränkt. Gutes Angebot an Strandliegeplätzen. Gut geeignet auch für Kinder.

    (Translated by Google) In the summer it happens to go to Pietra Ligure, we have been going there for years. We have found these establishments where you can eat, at least we do not interrupt the sunny stay on the beach. The food is very good, good in cooking based on fish, little waiting and their very kind ... I recommend (Original) In estate capita di andare a Pietra Ligure, ci andiamo da anni. Abbiamo trovato questi stabilimento dove si può mangiare, almeno non interrompiamo il soggiorno di sole in spiaggia. Si mangia molto bene, bravi nella cucina a base di pesce, poca attesa e loro gentilissimi...consiglio

  • 2/5 Daniele C. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very kind excellent presence of the dishes but the quality so-so, fish sauce with too many pieces of broken shells and sand, definitely annoying. Tagliolini with fish that looks fresh but the sauce had a strange aftertaste. After the first courses we no longer took any sin because we were aiming for the mixed fried food. (Original) Gentilissimi ottima presenza dei piatti ma la qualità così così, ragù di pesce con troppi pezzi di gusci rotti e sabbia, decisamente fastidioso. Tagliolini con pesce che sembra fresco ma il sugo aveva uno strano retrogusto. Dopo i primi non abbiamo preso più niente peccato perché puntavamo il fritto misto.
