My wife loves the sea and wanted to spend a day at the shore. We decided to head toward Savona, a…read morelovely town right along the coast. Luna is a beautiful restaurant that faces the beach' we were given a nice outdoor table and enjoyed the view of the sea. As befits a restaurant by the sea, the seafood was fresh and delicious. My wife enjoyed ravioli stuffed with fish and herbs in a light sauce. My first course was mussels, clams and squid in a light vegetable sauce enhanced with herbs. Both were satisfying and not too heavy. The second courses were the special catch of the day, amberjack and fried calamari. Her fish was nicely prepared and served simply with olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes. Coastal Italy on a plate! The food here is not imaginative, but sometimes the tried and true preparations are the way to go. I'm a sucker for simple fried calamari when it's done right. It was done right at Luna. The calamari was tender and the tasty fried coat only enhanced the fresh squid. A bottle of local wine complimented the meal perfectly. It was recommended by the affable Paola, proprietor of this lovely restaurant. This is what every seaside restaurant should be.

You can watch them make pizza from the sidewalk--there's a large window that opens onto their kitchen. Sadly, we didn't try their food, but the coffee was cheap (an espresso for 1 Euro) and tasty. Plenty of standing room at the bar/cafe. Pay at the register rather than at the bar, per custom, or so I gathered. Convenient location for cruise passengers!
