Osteria Mezzaluna - ALASSIO

This was our third visit and today lunch was awful. Ordered mussels for the appetizer and there was little to no marinera in the pot. I asked for some extra and it took 3 servers to bring it, but they brought a huge bowl of broth to go with the other mussels on the menu not the marinera that I had…they took it away and finally brought some. Then the server rudely asked if I was finally ready for our pasta they brought mine and gave the wrong pasta to my husband they took it back and about 5 minutes later took my away too…about 15 minutes later they brought both of our pasta. My husband’s was supposed to be spicy tomato sauce it literally tasted like tomato paste with no spice. After we paid we were asked if we wanted an after dinner drink as an apology for the food mixup. Normally limoncello is given away anyway for free after dinner so this was so rude. We will never eat there again.

Food was cooked to perfection and the staff was very friendly and helpful , the only downside we had was the live music as there was only one table free and that was right next to the nice gentleman who play fabulous music from his guitar while singing quite loud .

We chose this place as rated 15 out of 131 restaurants. Cannot believe how it got there as food was terrible. Firstly our bruschetta was burnt, not just toasted. Then my spaghetti with class was stodgey. But my wife's was not even al dente. It was simply undercooked and we noticed she wasn't alone in sending pasta back. On a positive note the service was pretty decent and the musicians were excellent. The place has atmosphere but how can a restaurant be rated so highly when the food is so so poor. We noticed others had similar experience with their meals.

Ambiente molto bello, ottimo cibo e personale molto gentile.

Sempre al massimo, un bel posto dove si possono ottenere ottimi piatti e ascoltare grande musica dal vivo.
