Parlapà Bottega con cucina — Restaurant in Moneglia

Great restaurant with strong focus on the ligurian cuisine. We had some fresh pasta with anchovies and vongole. The pasta was made with lemon in the dough, what made the dishes to come with a special flavour twist. Probably not the puristic taste of a classical pasta vongole but indeed a good variant of the dish.

Then we both had pistachio crusted tuna. Excellent. We hardly ever have desert but we’re intrigued by the description of egg nog custard with the hazelnut cake. Oh my!
