The raw fish is particularly excellent, as are the mupa (a little-known fish that lives in the deep waters of the Mediterranean), prawns (in season) and home-made primi served with delicious sauces, such as the chicken plin with brown gravy. For special occasions, we recommend the table to the rear of the room near the arte povera-style dresser. Cheerful, friendly service adds to the appeal.

You drive along 4.5km of winding, narrow (occasionally extremely narrow) roads to get to Ortica, the restaurant at the Tenuta Golfo Paradiso about 35min from Genoa.

Neither will you be disappointed by the cuisine, which is prepared using top-quality ingredients such as vegetables from the restaurant’s own kitchen garden, local fish and carefully selected meat. Dishes are fresh and modern, and occasionally cooked over the barbecue gril
