Osteria San Bastian — Restaurant in Celle Ligure

We wanted to get some nice italian food and visited this restaurant. The service rolled their eyes when we told her we don't speak italian, but she found another staff member who tried to translate to her best. One of our orders was good, the other was very small and the pesto was minimal at best. We got bread and when I asked for oil & salt, we got another basket of bread which we also had to pay for. The waitress seemed very rushed although there was almost nobody there except us and some guests at another table. When she gave us the menu it almost fell down because it was thrown without her stopping. It felt like we were treated like secondary guests as the service took no time to serve us but had extended conversations with the other guests. The price for my meal was more than double of what I feel it would be worth, and I have to say we had way better service, food and ambiente in other italian restaurants for much...

A lot of people don't like touristy place, I'm among them. We were lucky to find this place via Google map, on our way from Italy to France. Restaurant is in front of the beach, and of course a lot of tourists, but also locals. Food excellent, freshly made, absolutely adored everything from starters to dessert, specially liked the local white wine. Highly recommended. Only one problem, no...

I piatti si presentano bene, gentili. Abbiamo pranzato in due, nulla di particolarmente buono. Troppo caro, anche in rapporto alla quantita' e alla qualità. Non abbiamo chiesto il primo piatto. Volevamo stare leggeri, ma non troppo..😊È carino l'ambiente, sul lungomare...ci hanno offerto 2 panelline di ceci, buone. Qualche pezzetto di focaccia e pane, come ovunque offrono ai clienti. Coperto 4 euro, un calice rosso 3 euro, un calice bianco 8 euro. Due antipasti pesce (due alici marinate e un piccolo involtino di pesce spada e una mousse di merluzzo buona...30 euro, 2 fritti misti piccole porzioni (1 gambero a testa e anelli e ciuffettini di calamari, due alici) , 40 euro, due patatine fritte 10 euro. Totale 95 euro. Troppo caro in rapporto alla quantità e qualità, pensavamo meglio a quel prezzo...avremmo anche speso di piu' e saremmo tornati in quei giorni perché il posto é carino, ma credo che debbano migliorare la quantità o il prezzo se desiderano che il ristorante sia maggiormente...
