The restaurant is located in a small village in the hinterland with a beautiful historic center and an exciting sea view. Wooden furniture give the vintage style interior room, a rustic and informal look, while the original lights and the large stone fireplace helped to embellish it. In the summer you can enjoy a wonderful view on the rooftop while you eat. Chef Federico Pinasco’s proposal includes local seasonal dishes. The menu includes 4 appetizers (12 €), 4 first courses (15 €), 4 seconds (15 to 35 €) and 4 desserts (7€). Among the appetisers you can try veal with tuna sauce, the traditional Brandacujun, Catalan style octopus and Parmigiana. Among the first courses we find Pansotti pasta with walnut sauce, Mandilli with pesto and purple prawns and Spaghetti with rabbit sauce. Among the seconds: the crunchy and light mixed fried of calamari, anchovies and prawns; grilled calamari with zucchini and the Secreto Iberico, a fine pork fillet for real gourmets. Do not miss the exquisite desserts: Meringue with fresh fruit and custard, Bavarian pistachio, white chocolate and red berries, and the Stroscia (sweet chubby cracker), a typical cake of the Imperia hinterland. The restaurant’s cellar offers a selection of local labels and other regions served with a reasonable top-up.
