Maurizio Bordoni built his reputation as a talented chef of Ligurian cuisine in the nearby port city of La Spezia. A few years ago, he moved back to his boyhood home of Groppo, a tiny hillside hamlet above the town of Manarola.
The menu changes daily according to what comes from local fishermen and farmers. A starter could be a timbale of chopped chickpeas, spinach and clams served in a fish reduction sauce or a bowl of delicate fish soup topped with zucchini flowers. Main courses rely heavily on fish. Try the roasted red mullet fillets served over green beans and tossed in an anchovy-flavored vinaigrette. The unusually good wine selection offers about 50 different reds and whites, including top names from Piedmont and Tuscany. The Cinque Terre white from Forlini e Cappellini is excellent. It tastes like a top-class Viognier from the Rhône Valley.]
