Amazing restaurant, great food and very friendly service. Local food but with a nice twist, and a good wine selection. You need to reserve a table though (at least in August).

What a pleasant experience we had. This place is an obvious favorite amongst the locals, so make sure you reserve your table. The seafood pasta was devine and the fish-filled ravioli will bring you back time and again. Let them guide you re the wine choices and you’ll be in heaven.

The chef is amazing. She comes and takes your order herself. We explained that some of us are vegetarian and vegan and she made exquisite dishes to meet our needs. She makes the bread herself and it is amazing. All of the ingredients are fresh. The gnocchi with pesto are so light and full of flavor. Her husband also tended our table and brought fresh water for our dog right away. They and all of their staff are very kind and came to check if everything was good. We tried the assortment of desserts and they are all simply delicious. Among them, the best panna cotta ever!Out of the restaurants we tried in Diano Marina, this is the best.

Perfect hospitality and service, delicious food. The owner is a lovely elderly guy who loves his job and guests. It is possible to sit inside and out one. The atmosphere is great. I am happy about my choice
