Featuring a simple, relaxed menu highlighting seasonal and local seafood and other ingredients, il Buco al Mare is equally delicious and beautiful. We love the relaxed, light-flooded interiors, which provide the perfect setting to sip on selections from the large wine cellar. We highly recommend the whole branzino served with shaved fennel, soft herbs and cracked buckwheat.
