28/02/2026: The door of Osteria del Bai opens onto an intimate and refined setting. A hint of the soul of those who have passed through remains in the air. It is said that Garibaldi drank his last drink here before leaving for the Expedition of the Thousand.
And today, on the bathroom door, cork plaques continue to nail the signatures of the illustrious faces of the present who pass through.
The dishes arrive in sequence and tell the story of the sea without repeating themselves. Some are bold, others are already preceded by their fame - like Blu del Bai.
A magical place, a place to return to again and again.

22/02/2026: OSTERIA DEL BAI
A historic restaurant, Osteria del Bai, a warm, welcoming, and different place...beautiful!
The restaurant is housed in an ancient tower built to guard against Saracen raids.
The tables arranged along the thick walls where the cannons once stood to defend the place create a unique and unforgettable atmosphere.
Ancient revolutionaries like Garibaldi and popes have passed through here...there's plenty of history.
Attached to the tower, a glass-walled room provides natural light and a pleasant sea view.
The red tuna tartare with hazelnuts is unique.
The cappon magro, the linguine with scallops, garlic, oil, and chili pepper, baby squid with turnip greens, paired with a fantastic "bolla" (a typical Ligurian dish), an excellent Ligurian Vermentino, followed by a "tiramiago" soaked in hot coffee, and finally a glass of Amarone grappa, make the experience something we'll definitely be repeating.
Congratulations, Agostino.
We'll be back.
Highly recommended.
