We're on vacation and decided to get kebabs at the Old Istanbul. They're excellent, very well-filled with quality, flavorful ingredients. It's among the best kebabs we've ever had. Bravo!

It's a seemingly ordinary, small, unassuming place where you can buy pizza and kebabs, among other things. Nothing could be further from the truth! We haven't had such a delicious and inexpensive kebab in a long time. It's amazing, and a place worth recommending. The staff are friendly and speak English fluently, which isn't so obvious or common in Italy. I highly recommend it!

The best kebab in the area, truly delicious! And the owners are very kind.

Arrived from Bergamo specifically for our favorite kebab shop which has been preparing our favorite dishes for over 6 years with the same commitment and passion as on the first day. From Mapello (BG) to Albenga the best quality ever with the atmosphere of a seaside town. Kebab, pizza and falafel piadina super good!!! Very digestible pizza, very fresh ingredients and quality kebabs. Welcoming, kind and very helpful. We will definitely return! Many thanks to the owner for the welcome and attention he gives to his customers.

Ate a very good pizza for €7. Card payments accepted.

Hands down the best kebab in Albenga. Very good piadina, fresh ingredients and the chips taken from the menu arrive still hot and crispy. Friendly and helpful staff, they even gave me a stamp the other day! I will definitely order again and try the pizza too.
