Sunset bars and restaurants

Here are a few of our favourite bars and restaurants to take in a fantastic scenic sunset with all the right vibes.
The location of this restaurant speaks for itself. This place is probably our favourite place to pop into for an amazing romantic sunset cocktail. Walk ins accepted for the bar. Reserving a table in advance for the upmarket seafood restaurant is highly recommended. Great restaurant for a special occasion or celebration.

A reliable place for good fish and seafood dishes. This is a regular haunt for locals. The owners Alberto and Alina also have two other restaurants in via Sardegna in the town centre. The restaurant upstairs boasts lovely views of the sea and serves an a la carte seafood menu. Downstairs there is an informal pizzeria. Reserving a table in advance is highly recommended as it is very popular.

A trendy beach bar and restaurant at the start of poetto beach. Good quality food and nice atmosphere. On Thursdays evenings they have the sunset event ‘Bellini’ and on weekends there is a DJ playing ambient music from lunch til late. We recommend booking in advance for lunch and dinner.
