Clandestino Susci Bar

A wonderful experience in every way! I even got homemade gluten-free bread. Great sommelier, delicious local wines, creative cuisine, not too much, not too little, brilliant location on the beach.

Clandestino is unique. To simply call it a beachside restaurant would not do it justice. There is a lightness and harmony in every aspect, from the warmth of the staff to the subtle colour of the building against the white stones. This is a restaurant where your experience seems to flow effortlessly, but of course this cannot happen without great planning by excellent people who care very much about every detail. The menu has been designed with creativity and thoughtfulness, and each dish was executed perfectly. We chose the Susci Rosa menu and our taste buds travelled the world from India to Japan, Kenya to France, Mexico and back to Italy. The seafood is of the highest quality, and the flavours are modern and clever. Each dish was elegantly presented, but it's not fussy, formal food. In fact many dishes were 'fun' to eat. For wines we put ourselves in the hands of a very skilled staff member who excelled at selecting wines that matched each dish, and also our palette. We had fun and learnt a lot from her, and although we have eaten in many top restaurants around the world, she performed the role better than any sommelier we can remember. Every staff member was warm, friendly, engaged and engaging. They have an ease in their roles, bringing a feeling of calm flow to this very special restaurant . We were impressed by how easily the restaurant pivoted to present us the full degustation menu as gluten free and meat free. It's one of the reasons a top restaurant like Clandestino is always a better choice when you want a truly great dining experience. For every reason you can think of, this is the restaurant to choose when you want an experience to remember!
