Il Settebello In

14/06/2025: There were crowds everywhere, a June 2nd full of tourists and a sky that already smelled of summer. After an hour and a half of twists and turns and slow marches in search of a parking space that seemed nonexistent, I reached my wife with the mood that only traffic can sculpt. It was late — well after 2 pm — and my appetite no longer had the momentum of the beginning of the day. And yet, waiting for us calmly and kindly, there was a waiter who had the patience to wait for me, without her feeling disoriented. Not only that: he sat us right where my wife wanted — overlooking the sea, that edge suspended between the blue and a summer mosaic of colors. We ordered two fish starters. There was no need for anything else. Sometimes a well-prepared dish and the right amount of attention are enough to make a late lunch something to remember. And the sea nearby did the rest, like an old accomplice who knows when words are not needed. It felt like Ferragosto: full sun, the city teeming, the sea below calling every tourist from every part of the world and there we were, inside a small white treasure chest overlooking the sea, finally sitting after a morning in the car. That little table set in a window overlooking the blue, with a little balcony suspended over the sound of the water and the voices... pure magic that repaid us for all the tiredness. Only two first courses, magnificently prepared, and a house Catarratto, served in a little tavern bottle that, in that context, tasted poetic. I posted the photos! The place is authentic, cared for without ostentation, and the view... well, that is unforgettable. Having lunch there, with the sea entering your room is worth more than any tasting menu. Sometimes a little is enough: a sincere dish, a fresh glass and the sea a meter away.
