Il Pirata - LAIGUEGLIA

We had been at il pirata several years ago and we went back last Saturday for dinner. The pizzas were excellent, with quality ingredients and not common in the style taste. A bit pricey but quality has a rate and it is rare to find these levels. We will go back to try the restaurant proposals.

We went for the 4 course surprise tasting menu. I guess in the end we got 5 or 6 courses. Especially the grilled octopus on smoked beans pasta/base was excellent as well as fresh ravioli with kale and shrimps tartar. Wine we focused on Ligurian and Piemonte bubbles and under or around 30 EUR/ bottle you can keep yourself occupied quite well (vintage bottles). Service was well informed, spoke good english so live seemed quite ok in Liguria. They are also connected to their own excellent winebar if you do not fancy a restaurant.....

Worst service in this beautiful please. Anything else to say. If the manager want to know what happened, they can speak to me.

I found myself very well, both for the service and for the dishes, fried pan with meat and hot cheese really good crispy, dry as I like, fusilloni with good octopus and the sweet abundant and refined. variety in the menu to return.

The visit came out mainly for the interesting wine cellar, but then, a restaurateur who loves wine and has certain skills certainly loves food too. In fact, confirmed the fantastic choice of wines, we could appreciate a kitchen made of great raw materials and nice and ambitious ideas. our lunch has contemplated oysters, a strepitous raw with crustaceans and carpacci (magnificent that of moonfish lipsticks with artichokes and a spectacular lobster with Catalan; to finish a sweet tribute to the territory with ricotta, frolla, olives and artichokes, very, very interesting. location maybe not “consistent” to the quality of food, while the wine shop is very beautiful. the patron has been very attentive and professional, giving us a discovery that, demoleting every prejudice on Ligurian catering, enters right among our favorites. Good!
