The position is undoubtedly one of the restaurant’s greatest assets: directly facing the marina, with large windows overlooking the sea. The kitchen, firmly oriented towards seafood, is fresh, careful, and genuine, in the spirit of “from the sea to the plate.” The menu follows the availability of the day, in full respect of seasonality and the catch. Shellfish, reef fish, and pasta dishes with original dressings compose an offering that is classic yet full of taste, further elevated by the use of local extra-virgin olive oil, also from the restaurant’s own production.
WebsiteThe open grill at this restaurant is a regular feature, delighting guests with a wide array of top-quality meat dishes. From Tomahawk to chops, and fillets to picanha steak (the meat is sourced locally, as well as from further afield), the quality is always excellent, while the service is quick yet friendly and discreet. The large picture windows boast fine views of the surrounding hills, giving guests the pleasant sensation of dining outdoors. There’s also a second dining room with a cosy, minimalist feel, which is perfect for winter evenings. Local, seasonal ingredients take centre stage her
