Food Scene

Great place for aperitif and nibbles (very substantial nibbles) and freshly prepared dinner menu - the chef Mirko can be seen cooking all evening.

This is a day trip from the house but if you're staying long enough it's worth a visit. My favourite seaside place, totally unspoilt but with eating and drinking essentials on and off the beaches. Very busy in the summer. Go early to make the most of it!
