Ü Funtanin
Ligurian Cuisine with Sea View at Piazza Vento Largo
The Ü Funtanin is located on Piazza Vento Largo at the edge of Ventimiglia Alta. The square opens towards the sea: palm trees, white stone benches, a view down to the harbor and out onto the water. A lush bougainvillea climbs along the restaurant's wall.
The terrace uses this square. You sit outside under sun umbrellas, with the sea before your eyes. The cuisine is Ligurian, focusing on fish and seafood – depending on what the morning market has provided. A family business for generations, with the routine and serenity that comes with it.
In winter, life moves indoors, a fireplace burns. The atmosphere remains relaxed, not stiff. Reservation on the weekend is wise.

Practical Information
Reservation recommended on the weekend - the terrace fills up quickly at sunset. The place is named after the Ligurian writer Francesco Biamonti. The combination is worthwhile: first strolling through the alleys of the old town, then eating here with a view of the sea.
Best Time to Visit
In summer for evenings on the terrace at sunset. In winter for the fireplace and the calmer atmosphere – then the place belongs to the locals.
