A long train journey from the centre of Italy led me onto a small fishing village overlooking the seafront in Imperia. Here I could see the picturesque view of Imperia, a town in the region of Liguria in the North of Italy near the French border. Pastel houses covered the beautiful Italian Riviera coast and the smell of the exotic sea air ignited my curiosity to search deeper into the coastal landscape and villages, seeking a place to rest and enjoy the local seafood.
One of those pastel houses right by the beachfront was Ristorante Sarri. Minding its own business, the restaurant was immediately eye-catching with a beautiful front patio of crystal white chairs shaded with a modern canopy. It was a serene escape from the beach and an escape from normality.
As I looked out upon the beautiful blue sea in front of me, chef Andrea Sarri tapped me on the shoulder and invited me to take a look around. This is a new restaurant; it’s one year old and is where Andrea claims to have found his true home to share his recipes.
