Il Fornaio Francois Bernard In Scalea

12/04/2026: It's located on the main street, where unfortunately many businesses have closed over the years. Luckily, this bar has stood the test of time. The outdoor tables are set up on the street, but the problem is that you find yourself a bit surrounded by people walking between the tables, and we even had kids on scooters whizzing by happily. Not the best if you want to enjoy an aperitif with friends and maybe chat a bit. It would probably be enough to rearrange the table layout or cordon off the area to avoid rude people and disruptive guests. The aperitif isn't bad, and they offer some appetizers, although the cocktails are a bit bland. However, being in a seaside area, unfortunately, few have thought to offer some local specialties or even simple bruschetta. It would be a nice idea, overall. The staff is friendly, and prices are average for the area. If you're driving, there's free parking nearby. Not suitable for large groups, as space is limited both inside and out.
