A lively restaurant on the seafront, featuring a pleasant terrace with panoramic views, which is highly sought after during the season – so it's best to book it as early as possible. For over twenty years, the solid family management has focused on excellent seafood cuisine, mostly classic, with some personal touches, especially in the desserts. Be sure to try the dark chocolate and crunchy cannoli, served vertically and filled with gianduja semifreddo, topped and plated with a cold Moscato d’Asti zabaglione.
