The gourmet restaurant A Spurcacciun-a is part of the Mare Hotel complex, a comfortable four-star hotel with swimming pool and private beach that overlooks the sea just outside the center of Savona, a short distance from the highway exit.
The dialectal name A Spurcacciun-a has distant origins, to be traced back to anecdotes from three generations ago, when from their grandparents' first restaurant the lawyers from the nearby courthouse would come out so saturated that they would exclaim, "We ate like dirt, that spurcacciun-a gives us too much to eat," or when a good-natured villager caught Grandma Paula, tired and swollen-footed after service, with her bare feet soaking in a basin and exclaimed, "you're such a dirty girl, standing in the kitchen with your feet soaking".
From then on it was decided that that nickname should be hung outside, as a provocative game and as the first marketing operation on a name impossible to forget.
At the restaurant A Spurcacciun-a we had a rich, stimulating, cultured and refined gastronomic experience.
Simone Perata's cuisine impressed us with the accuracy and elaborations, ranging from tradition to innovation, supported by a technique of the highest school, with the use of raw material of absolute excellence.
There is no shortage of oriental notes, which are elegantly embedded in many of the dishes on offer.
