They not only have a regular restaurant space but also offer service on the beach for those who can’t leave the views of the sea behind.

10. Enoteca Mediterraneo

Restaurant, Italian

Enoteca Mediterraneo’s homemade bread is the perfect base for the bruschetta and crostini, but be sure to try the gnocchi with pesto sauce and other homemade pasta.
