This unexpected Ligurian gem is situated in Trucco, a small village in the Val Roia just inland from Ventimiglia.

A young chef, strengthened by experience in important kitchens, has brought the village’s old nursery school back to life, carefully restoring it and transforming it into a restaurant that proposes contemporary cooking with more or less overt ties to the local area. The offering is structured around tasting menus, from which individual dishes may also be chosen à la carte.

In summer, a wonderful outdoor space, al

The dining rooms in this lively, typical restaurant in the upper, historic part of Bordighera appear to be almost dug out of the rock.

Attentive service completes the picture here.
