Kukua Beach Bordighera — Restaurant in Bordighera

Don’t go there. The food is fine-ish, sort of eatable without being savory as you’d expect in Italy. Prices more expensive than in French Riviera. By the sea which is always nice. But the service and the attitude are the worst ever experienced in Italy!!! Waited for food for over 30’. The dishes were brought at different times - kids have finished their dishes and we haven’t even started ours. I was still eating my pasta, when the plates of my friends were already carried away from the table. Just felt they wanted us out of from there. The waiter was nice but his span of attention close to zero.. either exhausted, or just unable to remember what was requested. Asked for a spoon for my pasta, never got it. After the meal, the kids were playing by the beach, my friend and I ordered coffees, but I had a bad idea to go to the restroom while waiting for my coffee and my friend left the table to make a photo of kids. Got back to the table after 2’ and it was already emptied, our kids’ belongings were put aside and new people were being sat at the table. They charged the coffee I asked for but carried it away without me being able to enjoy it at our table. They said the table was empty and that’s why they assumed we left. But our things were still on the table and as I went to the restroom just 2’. And then they wouldn’t even excuse themselves but explain us this is basically our fault because we left the table. To summarize, over-expensive for nothing, the food so-so and the attitude of the staff that is below respectful. Avoid if you can. (I never wrote a negative review to a place, but this one deserved to be shared,...

Came here on my girlfriend's recommendation. The spaghetti with clams was the BEST I've ever tried on the whole Riviera, 6 months living here. The grilled sea bass was perfectly cooked, without too much spices so you can taste the freshness of it, and the sides went perfectly together. Simply the best food experience in a long time. But the cherry on the cake was the friendly but absolutely professional service staff. Rush a reservation before it gets too famous and busy. I scored big points with the love of my life and that is saying something. Thank you guys and...

Came here randomly as all other restaurants were too busy to even consider us for lunch with no reservation...not this place - they were pretty nice and polite and made us wait about 10 mins - after which it was nothing less of a delight, and probably the best meal of the entire week of Liguria travels and michelin stars and best rated restaurants. The flat ink pasta with raw shrimp and seafood linguine were...
