Chiosco Paradiso In Diano marina

18/08/2024: This year we went back to La Terrazza and once again it did not disappoint. Stunning views? Yes. Awesome service? Yes. Guests spontaneously joining in a piano sing-along? Yes. One change from last year is that one floor down is the revamped poolside grill restaurant with a high energy crowd, which means that La Terrazza itself has a more relaxed, more romantic vibe. This time we had the lamb and the fassona beef, accompanied by a Mille e Una Notte wine from Sicily. Congratulations as always to the staff for their gracious service and kind banter! We were lucky to be there on a clear an warm July evening, so the view was very clear (as you will see from our uploaded photos) at sunset at under the stars!

13/07/2024: Staying in Santa Margarita and we came here for the evening. No question there's a nice ambiance good cocktail list and we're able to sit overlooking Portofino and the ocean. Truffle beef tartare very good. Ministroni was good. Branzino was good and prepared well. Service was pretty good. I got the Lamb and the meat was decent but the potato was awful. Tasted like some type of rotten root that was undercooked. I told the staff about it and really didn't want to complain. Good staff would worry about it though. No effort to improve the experience. There is a sewage type smell emanating we believe from the kitchen and it smelled like a toilet. Really good views but some of the views get old looking at snobs and mannequins with too much botox and plastic surgery. Didn't blow me away at this price point would not return.
