Reviews
We had a lovely time at Kanova restaurant. Magdalena and her team are very kind, caring and capable. The food is amazing, we loved the catch of the day (the sea bass in salt crust with grilled vegetables was our favourite) , but also the truffle risotto and lobster were delicious. Ow yes, we went multiple times during our stay. Indeed, it is not cheap but definitely a lovely place to spend the evening. One night we even saw dolphins in the sea while having our dinner, amazing!
