On the first floor, this superb designer space mimicking the shape of the inverted hull of a ship, with a subtle maritime-inspired decor, features a large window (finestra in Italian) overlooking the port. Chef Italo Bassi, who presides also over the kitchens of his restaurant in Sardinia, has devised a menu that allies the cuisines of Italy and Corsica. The mainly local ingredients are handpicked in these masterfully prepared dishes – the double ravioli with two fillings, burrata, guinea fowl
