About
Our story
A harbour kitchen, cooked by hand
Al Primo Piano opened above the harbour in December 2025, under old wooden beams and the glow of a red lamp. We cook the way our family taught us. Fresh pasta, a slow ragù, good olive oil, and the Italian classics we grew up with.
Nothing fussy. Just honest Italian food, generous plates, and a table you won't want to leave.

Our philosophy

The family
The people behind the plates
Al Primo Piano is run by a small family of Italians who cook, serve and welcome you themselves. Every guest is treated like one of our own. That's the whole idea.
