Al Pettirosso - Torriglia

The garlic pesto is the positive note, as is the quick and friendly service. The place is welcoming and characteristic. Unfortunately, regarding price and dessert, the evaluation is strongly negative. Chocolate cake cannot and must not be a slice of those Christmas cakes found next to panettone in the supermarket.

Starter in snap quantities, first passable tagliatelle with sauce, second course composed of 3 strips of very thin roast with brown potatoes: never seen anything like it, I think the color was due to the oil because they didn't seem burnt (too bad I can't share the photo). The dessert, a banana cake which had been agreed upon during the booking phase, was given to the customers without a reservation, as were the baked potatoes which were then replaced for us with brown fried ones. Fine coffee wine all for €25. I will never go there again.

We get off to a bad start right away. They assure us that the road is clean and easily passable... but that's not really the case! Good starters but absolutely poor for the quantity. First courses in the norm and nothing more. The wild boar is good, the roast (as an alternative of course) is not as good and above all there are very few potatoes as the only side dish. Final surprise, even though booked for several days......the CAKE is finished and alternatively 23 canestrelli for 18 diners. I swear this particular thing really irritated me. I will never go back there again!

Housewife with tasty dishes and prepared from the house. Quiet environment and friendly managers.

I went to this inn on December 16 with 3 friends, after seeing the beautiful crib of Pentema. On December 14 we called to book, we had booked for 4 people and also left a phone number. Arrived at the inn, we discover that our reservation is magically gone. The lady from the inn asks us in a bad way with whom we spoke, as if we could know their names, and makes us wait more than 10 minutes on foot full of stuff to decide what to do. He finally decided to put us in a table for 2, but when we had settled, he changed his mind and put us in another table. At this point we are abandoned to ourselves for more than half an hour. No one who asks us what we want to eat, they only bring us a drink and some bread, which we end up in a few minutes because you are hungry. After half an hour the maid asks us if we want the appetizer and say yes. After about twenty minutes the appetizer arrives, that it was enough yes and no for two people. After another wait we are brought the first, quite good. Then we came to the second: I take nothing, others take roast and wet boar. Both of us, so much so that the boar had to give it to the dog! At this point two hours had already passed since we entered and we were looking forward to leaving. My friends ask for 2 coffee and a dessert. The waitress brings two desserts and a coffee. In the meantime a lady arrives to complain to the managers for poor food and high prices. All the time in the dining room, two tables remain free. So then all this problem of places was not there. We ask for the account because we can no longer stay there and at this point we have another bitter surprise: 28 euros per head for 4 menus at a fixed price including appetizer, first, second and sweet. Too bad there had been no mention of the existence of this menu. So for 2 pieces of salami, a piece of ham, a slice of cheese, a bit of panissa and a dish of pasta I paid 28 euros. Basically, experience to forget. Slow service, poor food and very high prices. Absolutely not recommended, if you want to eat in Pentema after seeing the beautiful crib better a sandwich at the refreshment point! As the lady said she complained to the managers, we won't stand anymore!
