Dining
Da Felice
On the beautiful coast road, just a short walk from the seafront, you’ll find a place that exudes tradition and hospitality. A family-run eatery where time seems to move slowly and Ligurian seafood cuisine takes centre stage. Every dish tells a story of authentic flavours, lovingly prepared and served alfresco in summer, inviting guests to enjoy the sea breeze and the pleasure of good company. The inspector recommends: “brandacujun” (made with dried cod and potatoes) or calamari on the “ciappa” (a stone slab), served with potatoes and “preboggion” (cooked wild herbs).

Set right on the seafront, with a delightful outdoor seating area, this historic restaurant – opened in 1969 and dedicated to the famous English admiral – boasts classic elegance with mahogany furnishings and light-coloured curtains reminiscent of unfurled sails. Mediterranean-inspired cuisine plays with modern and creative touches, such as slow-cooked amberjack served with baby spinach, pine nuts, marjoram and date tomato sauce.
