Description

Situated amid the picturesque alleyways of the historic centre, this beautiful restaurant boasts an elegant decor and a warm, friendly welcome. Here, the young, talented chef (originally from Campania but now settled in Liguria) serves Mediterranean cuisine with a traditional regional influence cleverly added to each dish. Our favourite dishes included the excellent trenette pasta with octopus ragù and 24-month-aged parmesan fondue, and the timeless “brandacujun”, which is freshly prepared and served at your table by the chef himself.
