Pizzeria &Trattoria il Brigantino — Restaurant in Finale Ligure

Unfortunately can't agree with other reviews here, mainly due to the service.

I had mussels in marinara sauce, sea food spaghetti, and a tiramisu for dessert. Excellent dinner for reasonable prices. (to the owners I deleted the incorrect pictures, sorry for...

"Shrimp" (etymology: scrimp, shrivelled, shrink, puny). A very overpriced meal. 14€ for a tiny bowl of squid, and 17€ for a tiny bowl of pasta with 2 or 3 CHOPPED UP SHRIMP. Who cuts shrimp? These guys do. If I had any faith in them, I'd have asked for a pizza...
