Onda Verde

Praiano


Part of a hotel with the same name, this restaurant is located halfway down the steep steps leading to the marina (just beyond the defensive tower). Sit outside for the best views of the bay. The food here reflects an innovative take on traditional cuisine and includes a plentiful choice of salads – just the thing on a sizzling summer’s day.
