Bagni Giovanni - Lavagna

I have been to the Bagni Giovanni restaurant several times over the years. It has always been a guarantee of excellent food and a splendid sea view location. This time, although the main courses were as good as always, I was definitely disconcerted by the €5 cover charge, decidedly out of the market, even more so considering that there are placemats and napkins, and a modest basket of bread brought to the tables. Price of medium-high courses. Another decidedly questionable point is the quantity of the side dish: €5 for a miserable dish with 4 slices of baked potatoes. A fall in style...

End of summer, no one on the beach we put our towel down to sunbathe, the owner, very rude, sent us away from “his establishment” I could understand if it was in the middle of summer, with the beach crowded but with no one there? ?? All over the world, the beach is public... this is truly a shame, I can't wait for the law on beach establishments to be reformed and for the owner of that establishment to lose his rights... who knows, maybe learn to be a little more polite to people ! SHAME

Monday at the end of September, no one on the beach, we put a towel on the shore and the owner of the bathrooms shouts at us from the bar to move! The lifeguard politely apologizes, but there's nothing he can do about it! I hope that with the new public competitions you miss the beach!!!

Worth trying (but booking is recommended) especially for lunch on sunny days. Typical, traditional cuisine but good value for money

The location on the beach is super. The food is good and the staff are helpful and kind. The only drawback should specify the ingredients of the various dishes on the menu to prevent someone from not liking them or having intolerance problems. I 'll give an example: stuffed squid . We expected simple squid with stuffing. Instead they were stuffed but stewed with tomato sauce, peas and mushrooms. Unfortunately, however, a friend of ours is allergic to mushrooms ....... fortunately he noticed immediately and had no problems.
