A good place, quite romantic, with what in our opinion is the best “gratinato” in town (although unfortunately it has no outdoor space) and an excellent selection of wines.

61/C Frazione DuinoThe most elegant and sophisticated place around, located on the sea: expensive but worth the experience.
Trattoria Risorta
1/a Riva Edmondo De AmicisExcellent food in a lovely setting. Not cheap but definitely worth the experience!
A cheaper yet lovely place (bearing in mind that the service is very ‘easygoing’), owned by fishermen who serve the freshest catch of the day with a 270 degree view over the sea (warm seasons only).

A long established place, in the middle of a sleepy little village, where people come purposely to eat here: both outdoor (a few steps from the sea) and indoor (within a cozy, decadent setting). Strongly recommended for families and groups, but good just the same for couples. Excellent fish dishes. Be patient and trust the staff, they have been here forever. If you want to feel at home, eat well and feel relaxed, this is the place to be. We love it!
