Why we point you here

Ventimiglia's Italian cooking, charted with a Knife by the best-chef-awards, worth the detour to the border.

Right at the French-Italian border, Balzi Rossi brings Ventimiglia onto the map with cooking serious enough to earn a Knife from the best-chef-awards. It's the kind of place worth building a night around when you roam the Ligurian coast, where recognition meets location in a town most people only pass through.
