Il Sottomarino
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.

Food quality receives mixed feedback; while many praise the refined preparation of dishes like mixed grills and taglierini, others criticize the portion sizes and presentation of grilled items. Service is generally appreciated for its attentiveness, including handling allergies, though some guests report booking difficulties or lackluster interaction.

It remains a notable dining spot where ambiance excels, but culinary consistency and service reliability can fluctuate.
Suitable for diners prioritizing scenic ambiance and atmosphere over consistent culinary perfection.
