Bistrò In Sestri levante

29/03/2024: Honestly, we got so lucky that this restaurant was open and welcomed us. The reviews on Google are breathtakingly unfair. The service is by a local family, beloved by the locals, and yet absolutely welcoming to us as foreigners. We speak no Italian, yet our hostess was willing to help us in English and even gave us excellent recommendations on food and wine. Speaking of which, both were excellent. The fish was absolutely fresh and perfectly cooked. The mussels they served had the perfect consistency and not gritty at all. The wine was perfectly paired with both and we really appreciated that it came from a local winery. They also had local cakes that absolutely hit the spot. When we visit again, we will definitely visit again!

28/03/2024: 3.8 stars is criminally low. We had a variety of dishes, _all_ were excellent. The table service was top-notch. Ignore the low ratings.
