For something more informal, the Bar’s sea-facing location satisfies every sense. Lunch on freshly grilled fish and delicate homemade pasta, or enjoy a Sicilian Mojito here at sunset.

For the sweet-toothed, a decadent dessert menu will steal your gaze from the dazzling sea below.

Pull up a seat for a crisp glass of wine by the bay, or order a Napoli-style pizza and some fresh seafood from the enticing menu.
