Il Baretto
Il Baretto Ristorante
A family-run Italian restaurant on the heights of the peninsula's port, featuring an inviting garden and wooden deck, popular for its pasta and desserts.
Located at the corner of Calle 9 and Calle 10 on the peninsula, this restaurant has been run by Paula Bianchi and her children since December 2010. It features a garden, a wooden deck, and a gazebo. The menu covers pasta, carpaccio, risotto, fish, and meats, with a wine list of over 100 labels. Diners frequently recommend the signature lamb lasagna, abadejo fish in seafood sauce, tiramisu, and orange pudding. It continues to receive excellent reviews during the 2026 peak season, while in the off-season it is generally open only on weekends. It is within walking distance from the port, and calling ahead is recommended for reservations.
