Il Bocconcino by Royal Hideaway

If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant with a difference, this dining space in the Royal Hideaway Corales Suites hotel won’t disappoint thanks to its superb terrace (which we highly recommend for lunch or dinner in fine weather) and its re-creation of Italian recipes from a relatively modern and progressive perspective, with the added attraction of always using (with the exception of the irreplaceable Pecorino and Parmesan) local ingredients sourced from the island. Chef Niki Pavanelli, who is originally from Bologna and can often be seen passing from table to table to explain his dishes, complements the à la carte with two extensive menus (Identidad and Il Boccocino). Don’t miss his updated Carbonara 3.0, Il Tortellino, which rekindles memories of his grandmother (la nonna) or, last but not least, the La Scarpetta dessert, through which he invites guests to discover the time-honoured Italian technique of the same name (the expression is “fare la scarpetta”) which consists of completely mopping up your plate with bread as a symbol of appreciation.
