Happened by chance like many others because the historic restaurant in the village had no more room. As it is very hot, the owner advises us not to stay under the porch but on the more airy side facing the valley, under the trees. Good food but the service has a lot to learn. Set the table by placing the placemats directly on the table without cleaning it beforehand, obviously it was dirty with dust and leaves being outside under the plant. We order water and wine and no wine glass is brought to us. We don't want to break it and we use a common glass for water and the other for wine. The restaurant has recently opened and they come from Genoa so we preferred to take Genoese dishes and not for example the Bobbiese macaroni typical of the area. We took pansotti in walnut sauce, fresh pasta that they get from Genoa, a pity they don't make it considering that the menu has very few choices and above all the second courses are cold ready-made dishes such as bresaola or caprese. The dirty encrusted cheese bowl is brought to the table by those who had used it before.... The pasta was good but the sauce was a bit low in quantity and the walnut was hardly noticeable. The portions are normal, not abundant, so let's continue with a recco-type focaccia. Very good, congratulations to the husband who is a pizza chef, a truly excellent product made by expert hands. The focaccia is brought to the table by a girl, I think by her daughter who was probably in the kitchen washing the dishes, since she was a bit rude, there was our table and another and she brings the focaccia to the other table with 6/7 people who luckily realizes it's not theirs and sends it to us. Too bad that the cutlery had been taken away from us and we had to ask for it. Certainly very kind but you can see that they have recently opened and the service absolutely needs to improve especially for cleaning and attention to the table. Wine list as if it didn't exist, a sheet is brought with written on still red wine, sparkling red white and 2 bottles of Genoese wine ... at least the winery must be indicated in the wine list also because the wines present were only 4 or 5 . Their cat, who sits aside at the table, keeps us company throughout the meal

We stayed, my wife and I, in July by chance. We had a really good time. Yesterday we returned and I can confirm that I ate very well. Few things, but freshly cooked, cold cuts and cheeses to go and the rest excellent. Very honest account.
