Da Giacomo is a renowned place, most of all thanks to its wonderful location, right at the beginning of the boardwalk: it is known by the older generations as a restaurant and by the younger as a dance club. In fact, since 2000, when it was reopened, every Thursday and Saturday Da Giacomo changes into a place where you can dance all night long, after a special price for those who care to dine and dance. The wine chart is very well supplied and the menu offers a huge variety; the ambiance is smartly furnished. There are no problems with parking, since a big guarded lot is available; there is a smoking room as well. For all these reasons, this place is popular among locals and foreigners alike.

It would be worth staying at Hotel Tigullio even only to have dinner at Fish Club just once, if it weren’t open to those not staying at the hotel. It is a small environment with great attention to detail - sober but smart furniture, a nice garden, and soft lights represent the wonderful frame for the protagonist: the fish, caught in Tigullio Gulf waters, directly by the fishing boat of the chef himself. Consequently, the menu offers a different kind of fish every day, which is accompanied with one of the excellent bottles of wine. The presentation of the plates is very unique: it will astonish you no less than the flavor.
