"Within an evocative medieval hamlet dating to the thirteenth century, with breathtaking views extending to the sea, this is an authentic osteria where the pleasures of local and regional home cooking may be savoured: the cappelletti with cream sauce and Grana are not to be missed, nor are the excellent gelati among the desserts. For a particularly memorable visit, reserve a table on the welcoming summer terrace, which enjoys wide-ranging views over the surrounding hills. "
