The Da O’ Batti restaurant is a small romantic bonbonniére of taste in Portofino, furnished in antique wood, rich in maritime paintings, themed furniture and decorated plates. 20 seats inside, and as many out in summer, at Da O’ Batti you arrive by following the path that leads to the most famous square in the world, in an alley surrounded by the houses that were once those of the sailors of the place, close to the Theatre.
Giancarlo Foppiano, wine enthusiast, professional sommelier of Fisar, took it over 35 years ago from the old Batti, who made it famous for his "Scampi alla Batti".
In this valuable venue, always attended by the people who "count", the atmosphere attracts especially for the intimacy of the place.
Passionate customers enjoy the delights of dishes of fish, rigorously fresh, wearing around their neck a customized napkin of the place, sitting on antique style chairs of straw, the traditional–chic checked in red and white table cloths.
Dinner here is full of charm and the environment takes on an even more romantic and enchanting atmosphere thanks to the soft lighting and the lights of candles on each table.
As every venue associated to Fisar should – more than thirty years ago it was one of the first to graduate in the course – the Da O’ Batti restaurant has interesting wine labels selected with care. Many are the foreigners, primarily with champagne, but also many red wines, in contrast to what would be expected in combination with this kitchen.
Giancarlo Foppiano cuts short: "The foreigners, most of the public that attends my restaurant, ask me for red wines. Demand, answer".
