Trattoria del mare Il PesceMatto
In the Prino village of Porto Maurizio, with its characteristic pastel-colored houses overlooking the sea, we find this restaurant, which offers genuine and tasty fish cuisine. The welcome of the patron Massimo is always friendly and kind. In the nice newspaper style menu, we find descriptions of the dishes. The tasting menu consists of 5 appetizers, 1 first, 2 seconds, dessert, house wine, water and coffee for € 38.00. Among the starters we mention the tuna and burrata tartare dressed with Chin’oro oil, Taggiasca olive oil worked with Savona chinotto (€ 10) and octopus stuffed with potatoes and Tropea onion compote (€ 12). In the first courses of fresh pasta prepared by the chef we find the “linguine della Regina” with a mixed sea food and a light gratin (€ 15), the mezze manicures with cod and burrata pulp (€ 13) and the house gnocchi with octopus ragù (13,50 €). In the second courses the proposal is an original “orizzontale” selection of mixed fried fish and vegetables served on a wooden cutting board, cm. 30 to 16 €, up to 100 cm. for 30 €, or the triumph of grilled fish (25 €). Do not miss the traditional Ligurian rabbit (12 €). To finish the homemade desserts served with a bucket of whipped cream. Good selection of wines, with a preference for local labels.
