Restaurant Il Riccio

Refined Mediterranean seafood dishes at a high-end hotel restaurant with a deck overlooking the sea. The cliffside restaurant overlooking the Blue Grotto is a treasure trove of flavors for connoisseurs of seafood. Under a thatch roof the smart beach club atmosphere provides panoramic views and features azure blue tables, a series of sun decks with white cabanas and a stone staircase leading down to the sea. On the menu resident chef Giovanni Bavuso has created a sublime gastronomic experience, starting with the Plateau Royal, a celebration of assorted raw fish from clams and scampi to tuna and cuttlefish, a veritable feast of Mediterranean flavors. Main courses include out-of-this-world spaghetti alla chitarra with sea urchins and breaded black cod medallions.
