Our 11 favorite restaurants in Ventimiglia (foodies\/families)<\/h1>\n

Italians love food so there are many restaurants in Ventimiglia. Lunch, or pranzo<\/em>, is the most important meal of the day for Italians. On the menu you’ll find antipasti<\/em> (appetizers), primi<\/em> (first dish like pasta and risotto) and secondi<\/em> (main dish like meat or fish). On Sundays, it is a tradition to have lunch with the family (then it is also busy). The kitchen is often open from noon-15 p.m. and from 7:30 to midnight. But once you are at the table, you can have a relaxed lunch or dinner. As residents of Ventimiglia, we think these are the 11 tastiest (and nicest) restaurants in Ventimiglia for foodies and families. <\/p>\n

9. Restaurant Amadora<\/h2>\n

This restaurant\/bistro had to be on my teenagers’ list because of the good pizzas. The pizza with gorgonzola and pear is really delicious. Do you like meat? Fiorentina is the queen of Italian meat dishes and it comes with a free bottle of red wine.<\/p>\n
