MANGIARE AL MARE

Italian fine dining with seaviews

High above the Mediterranean Sea, in the remarkable natural area of Balzi Rossi, lies Mangiare al Mare. A place where refined Italian cuisine, excellent wines, and breathtaking views come together. From June 15, 2026, our restaurant welcomes guests for lunch and dinner. The panoramic sea-view terrace provides the perfect setting for long summer lunches, an aperitivo at sunset, and memorable dinners beneath a sky full of stars. Sit back, savour the flavours of Italy, and enjoy one of the most spectacular views on the Ligurian coast.

In the kitchen, you’ll find Chef Joelson: young, creative, and passionate about his craft. Following his experience at an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam, he combines classic Italian flavours with a contemporary approach. His Brazilian roots bring an extra dimension to his cooking, particularly his love of open-fire grilling. That is why our Green Egg is fired up regularly to prepare exceptional fish, meat, and seasonal dishes straight from the grill, adding a distinctive smoky touch to the menu and creating memorable dining experiences by the sea.

Our menu features fresh oysters, crudi, homemade pasta, freshly caught fish, and carefully selected meat dishes. Every plate is prepared with respect for Italian culinary traditions and a deep appreciation for seasonal ingredients, allowing the quality and flavours of each product to shine.

A memorable meal deserves an exceptional wine. That is why we have carefully curated a wine list featuring local Ligurian wines, refined Italian classics, and an impressive collection of Barolos for the true wine lover. From elegant whites produced along the Ligurian coast to some of Italy’s most celebrated reds, each bottle has been selected to complement our cuisine and enhance the experience of dining by the sea. Whether you are discovering a local favourite or opening a remarkable Barolo, every glass tells a story of Italian craftsmanship and terroir.

Mangiare al Mare is all about enjoying life. Exceptional food, carefully selected wines, genuine hospitality, and above all, a unique setting overlooking the sea. Whether you join us for a leisurely lunch, a sunset aperitivo, or an intimate dinner under the stars, every moment is designed to celebrate the simple pleasures of Italian living, surrounded by the beauty of the Mediterranean.
