Trattoria Antico Tannino, built in Sestri Levante in 2011, has been furnished with semplicity e functionality by Vittorio and Melissa. They chosen elements in dark oak and a palette of neutral colors, with an only strong tone: the turquoise for accessories and glasses.
The atmosphere is like a family living and guests can glace at the chef working in the open-plan kitchen (a true guarantee for the quality of services).
The room is equipped with sound-absorbing panels and can accomodate approximately 70 guests.
Recently, an outdoor area with large umbrellas has been created outside the restaurant to protect from the sun, in order to meet the needs of those who prefer to have lunch or dinner in the open air, or being a smoker who does not want to give up the pleasure of cigarettes. In addition, for the regulations due to COVID 19, there is no need for the Green Pass outside.
The name of the restaurant, Antico Tannino, has ancient origins: it comes from the old factory located in the square in front of the restaurant, that extracted tannin from oak and chestnut trees.
Even today the locals call this place “tannin“…
In the restaurant there is a photogallery dedicated to this memories.
The symbol with three little trees was chosen as a tribute to the past and also because it’s an omen of prosperity according to the eastern philosophy.
