Few places scream romance, picture a candlelit dinner on the sands, and Cecconi's is one of them. As soon as you enter, what you witness is how warm brass lighting complements high leather upholstery against tall planters: a feeling of pure luxury. But the highlight of the place is the breathtaking view of the sea. Be it in a corner together or enjoying a light breeze outside, it is effortlessly romantic. And the eats are fabulous: wood-fired pizzas, Cicchetti platters, and decadent Italian classics.
