🍷 Final Tips for Foodies

  • Reserve ahead, especially for dinner and during high season. We can help you!
  • Ask about the catch of the day—many menus feature fresh, local fish.
  • Don’t forget to try local white wines like Vermentino, or toast with Sciacchetrà for dessert.

Want to live like a local? Start your evening with our aperitivo: a glass of wine or our signature spritz, accompanied by a savoury snack to enjoy.

From clifftop wine bars to beachside trattorias, every meal in Liguria is a postcard you can taste. Buon appetito! 🐟🍷
