Absolutely the most amazing experience in Italy and Europe as a whole. If you can find this…read morerestaurant (asking locals is better than google maps) you'll be in for a very pleasant surprise. Come hungry because the "all you can eat" family style dinner comes in about 15 courses plus dessert and wine. This is a real "Italian family" run operation. The owner, Evo is awesome. He welcomed us into his wine cellar where we chose a bottle of white wine. Since we didn't speak any Italian and he spoke no English it was quite entertaining when we went to pay him for the bottle. "Eight? Eighteen? Eighty?" We just held out our euros and trusted for him to be honest, and he was. It turns out we only paid $10 euro for a bottle of locally made white wine called "pigato". Dinner was amazing, wine was tasty but most importantly was the overall experience. If we ever come back to Italy we will certainly go here. If we don't make it back, at least evo will now be the most famous Italian chef in badalucco to ever be posted on social media! Ohhh one more thing, dinner is served late by american standards. The night we went was a Saturday and dinner started at 8 pm. It ended at 11! Dinner cost us about $60 euro for a couple, so roughly $70 usd. Pretty cheap compared to the USA !

Great concept with amazing food. Instead of an a la carte menu the chef comes to your table to talk…read moreto you about what he has ingredients for that night and puts together a menu for the table based on what people like and don't like. It is primarily a seafood restaurant but he does have great options for people that prefer something else. The food is served family style and you don't need to worry about going hungry. Try as we may, we couldn't finish it all, and we had a good sized group of mostly hungry guys! The seafood is fresh. I'd swear he pulled the shrimp from the sea minutes before we ordered. (Spectacular raw shrimp dish. I've never had shrimp like that and it was amazing!) The chef is very personable and has a great presence at the table as he goes over your options for the evening and goes out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Besides Italian, he speaks fluent English and I heard him speaking French with another table. The rest of the staff were all very friendly and efficient. Overall I was thrilled with my experience here! I highly recommend it if you are in Imperia and I will definitely go back!
