Bistrò 96 In Bordighera

17/03/2025: Always a top level experience, nothing to complain about.

25/02/2025: Sitting in the passenger seat of the car on the way home, looking out the window at the sky reflected in the Ligurian sea, I thought about what words I could use to pay homage to a place where I felt awaited and welcome. Then two words, a perhaps banal concept: Simple elegance. Elegantly discreet, the smiling welcome reserved for those who cross the threshold of U Titti by the elegant and refined hostess. Elegantly essential, the intimate dining room with its ancient cross-shaped ceiling, where you are welcomed together with a few other diners. Elegantly refined, the mise en place, a “poetic license” to tradition and functional to the tasting of culinary works of art rather than dishes, framed in the plates of different shapes chosen with wisdom. Elegantly tasty, the sensory experience during lunch. The dining room staff serves each course with care and professionalism, describing each component so that you can intuit it with your thoughts before you taste it. U Titti, the main course perched on a hill, is surrounded by a splendid view of the sea that can be enjoyed from the terrace and is adjacent to the church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary located in the square in front of the entrance to the historic center. The central stone part dates back to the thirteenth century, the portico is sixteenth century, as is the cobblestone mosaic pavement, called rissêu, while the marble portal and the baroque altars are from the seventeenth century. The historic center mentioned above is that of Lingueglietta, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Liguria. A walk highly recommended
