Marzio Bistrot — Restaurant in Sanremo

I was very underwhelmed by this restaurant and honestly don’t understand how it has such high reviews. I’ve traveled all over Italy many times, studied in culinary school, and consider myself a big foodie with a refined palate. I came in with high expectations and left very disappointed.

The service was excellent, friendly and attentive staff, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, the food did not match the level of the service.

I found this place via google review and wanted to try during my brief visit in Sanremo. First, restaurant in and out is very cute. I also like their decor, atmosphere and music choice.

We had salad nicoise and tuna tartare to start. They were good. Our main courses were the highlights. The special of the day: spaghetti with shrimps and zucchini and white fish with clams and mussels with spinach purée. The house made spaghetti was chewy and flavorful complemented with the tasty sauce with tomato and zucchini. My husband had the fish and was fresh and simply prepared. We were so happy to find Marzio Bistrot on Google Map, a gourmet...
