€€Regional Cuisine, Farm to table
Patience is needed to get to this restaurant from the coast, as a result of the winding road which makes its way through small villages, but once here the view of the sea is breathtaking. The village of Furore is built alongside the road and is famous for the Marisa Cuomo winery situated opposite the restaurant. The cuisine is as impressive as the vista, with its focus on different local ingredients cooked with a mix of traditional influence and imagination. Comfortable guestrooms are also available, almost all of which have been recently renovated and boast impressive views.

It's never easy to find the right balance between quality and quantity, especially in a town that is very much on the tourist trail. However, Da Vincenzo has succeeded in doing just this for years, ever since it was first opened by the family’s grandfather Vincenzo in 1958. Today, the founder’s grandson (who shares his grandfather’s name) is at the helm here, creating dishes which focus mainly on fish.
