About Lamberti
Lamberti holds two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024–2025) and a 4.4 Google rating, making it one of Alassio's more credible addresses for traditional Ligurian seafood. At the €€€ price tier with easy booking and a focus on fresh fish and house pesto, it delivers consistent value — but eat in rather than taking out, as the food is built for immediate service.
Verdict: A Reliable Seafood Address in Alassio, Leading Experienced In-House
Lamberti is worth booking if you are in Alassio and want traditional Ligurian seafood done without pretension. At the €€€ price tier, it sits at a sensible midpoint for a coastal Italian dinner. Booking is direct — this is not a venue where you will be competing with reservation bots three months out. Walk-ins may work off-peak, but calling ahead is the smarter move.
One practical note for anyone thinking about takeout or delivery: Lamberti's format is built around the dining room experience, not off-premise packaging. Traditional Ligurian seafood dishes and house-made pesto are the kinds of preparations that lose something in transit — the textures, temperatures, and presentation that justify the price point are designed for immediate service. If you are weighing whether to eat in or take food back to a rental apartment, eat in. The restaurant occupies a 1930s building a short distance from the waterfront, and that setting is part of what you are paying for.
What to Expect
Lamberti's kitchen centres on regional, traditional dishes built from carefully selected ingredients. The fish is the primary draw, sourced to reflect what the Ligurian coast has actually produced, and the pesto sauce is specifically called out as a reference point by Michelin, a meaningful signal in a region where pesto is taken seriously and where the quality gap between a careful and a careless version is immediately obvious to anyone who has eaten widely in Liguria.
The building's 1930s heritage gives the room a physical character that newer restaurant fitouts in Italian coastal towns rarely replicate. That does not mean it trades on nostalgia, the Michelin Plate recognition is awarded for food quality, not atmosphere, but the setting adds context to a meal that is already grounded in regional tradition.
For food and wine explorers visiting the Ligurian Riviera, Alassio sits in a stretch of coastline where the local culinary identity is genuinely distinct: anchovies, fresh fish, Taggiasca olives, and a pesto tradition tied to the specific microclimate of the Ligurian hills. Lamberti is one of the more credible addresses in town for experiencing that identity at a table rather than at a tourist-facing trattoria.

Booking and Logistics
Lamberti is at Via Antonio Gramsci, 57, 17021 Alassio. Booking difficulty is low by the standards of Michelin-recognised Italian restaurants, this is not Osteria Francescana in Modena or Uliassi in Senigallia, where lead times run to months. A few days' notice during shoulder season should be sufficient; summer weekends on the Ligurian Riviera will naturally require more planning. No specific hours or online booking method are confirmed in our data, so contacting the restaurant directly is the safest approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lamberti worth the price?
At €€€, Lamberti is reasonably positioned for a Michelin Plate-recognised seafood restaurant on the Ligurian coast. Two consecutive Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025) confirm consistent kitchen standards rather than a one-off performance. If you want traditional regional cooking built around carefully selected fish, this is a fair spend. If you are after something more ambitious, Quattro Passi in Nerano operates at a higher tier.
Can Lamberti accommodate groups?
Group suitability is not documented in available venue data, so contact Lamberti directly at Via Antonio Gramsci, 57, Alassio before planning a large booking. For context, Michelin Plate restaurants of this type in coastal Italian towns tend to have modest dining rooms, so larger parties should confirm space and lead time well in advance.
Can I eat at the bar at Lamberti?
Bar or counter seating arrangements are not confirmed in the venue record. Given Lamberti operates as a traditional regional seafood restaurant in a 1930s building, a formal bar-dining setup is unlikely — arrive expecting a table-service format and book accordingly.
What should I order at Lamberti?
The fish and the pesto sauce are the two dishes Michelin's own notes flag at Lamberti, making them the clearest anchors for a first visit. Beyond that, the kitchen focuses on traditional, regional Ligurian dishes built from carefully selected ingredients — lean into the seafood side of the menu and treat the pesto as a given rather than an afterthought.
Is the tasting menu worth it at Lamberti?
Tasting menu availability is not confirmed in the venue record for Lamberti. At the €€€ price point with a Michelin Plate rather than a Star, a structured tasting format would be unusual — this reads more as an à la carte or set-menu operation. Check directly with the restaurant before planning around a tasting format.

Lamberti sits at €€€ and does not try to compete with the €€€€ venues that dominate Italy's fine-dining conversation. Against Osteria Francescana in Modena or Reale in Castel di Sangro, it is a different proposition entirely: Lamberti is a regional seafood restaurant with Michelin Plate recognition, not a destination tasting-menu experience. If you are travelling specifically for progressive Italian cooking, those venues are the correct targets. Lamberti is the right choice if you are already in Alassio and want a well-sourced, traditional Ligurian meal without the booking difficulty or price commitment of the top tier.
Within the coastal Italian seafood category, Quattro Passi in Marina del Cantone operates at €€€€ with Michelin star recognition, a higher technical benchmark and a higher bill. Alici on the Amalfi Coast and Gambero Rosso in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica offer alternative reference points for serious coastal seafood in Italy. For the Ligurian Riviera specifically, Nove in Alassio is the natural local comparison worth checking before you decide.
The practical summary: if you want the deepest possible Italian fine-dining experience and are willing to travel, Dal Pescatore in Runate or Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico are at the top of that tier. If you are based in Alassio and want consistent, Michelin-recognised regional cooking at a price that does not require a full commitment to a destination-dining trip, Lamberti is the sensible booking.
