The Little Fountain

Tucked into the charming Piazzale Funtanin in Ventimiglia, this spot earns a near-perfect 9.8 score across 45 reviews — which says a lot. You're getting Italian and Mediterranean seafood cooking done right, with the kind of menu that also works if you're vegetarian or eating gluten-free. The piazza setting gives it a relaxed, unhurried feel that keeps both locals and out-of-towners coming back.
