Hi, I'm off on holiday to Finale next week. I'm going with a couple who have raced 8 EWS competitions between them there so the riding is covered. I'll just follow them and attempt to survive.

we are self catering and I do realise three is a crowd  (plus I'm a bit hectic)  so I want to give them some space for a few afternoons/evenings.

So, as per title, recommendations please for nice bars with a welcoming vibe , authentic great food (molto importante), hangouts, things to see and so on. Also a bar for the football next Thursday if possible..!

cin cin!

For tiramasu there's a restaurant in an old church on the way up from Finale to Tera Rosso, best tiramasu ever.

Another excellent restaurant, if you are happy with set menus, down the track almost opposite Tera Rosso, about a mile or so, no idea how to get there in a car.

Ice creams just about everywhere

Ice cream. The bar in the old town has some of the best as does the little shop on the back street where the roads meet. Cant wait till we get out for the EWS. Also a great little diner just to the right of the back of main square.

Hope you enjoy it.

just back from a week there, we went in this bar most nights when we found it the guys who run it are sound. La Vecchia Scala just on the front on the south-west side of the square.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@44.1685795,8.3439187,3a,75y,20.02h,87.11t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1ij1w-cJ4bYBFE3uuVht-Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

good beer, apertivos, burgers, platters of meat etc. we went in a fair few times and they kept giving us free pitchers every time we went in and even a bottle of grappa (i think, not sure i was pished!) for my mates stag night. they have football on and a quieter bit upstairs too, reckon if you speak to the guys they'd put a match on for you. even if not they'd probably give you their ipad to watch it on!

there is a real ale place called Sir Arthur next to the bike shop here:

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Sir+Arthur+Craft+Beer/@44.1702558,8.3481791,21z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x12d2fa2f779a7221:0xf64560ab17a5f16!2s17024+Finale+Ligure,+Province+of+Savona,+Italy!3b1!8m2!3d44.1689028!4d8.3416211!3m4!1s0x12d2f9887572e99f:0x79856a6af3c9ea72!8m2!3d44.1703012!4d8.3482596

but to be honest it didn't have that much of an atmosphere and it a bit too hoppy ipa for most of us. maybe worth a shot mind if you like craft ale

lots of eating places, not as many in Finalborgo as i had hoped. we went here on a recommendation and it was good: Pomella

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Pomella/@44.1707669,8.3465291,20.71z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x12d2fa2f779a7221:0xf64560ab17a5f16!2s17024+Finale+Ligure,+Province+of+Savona,+Italy!3b1!8m2!3d44.1689028!4d8.3416211!3m4!1s0x12d2fa29f30fda99:0xf0b94266bee9fbc8!8m2!3d44.1708081!4d8.3466348

the bistro as you go into the finalborgo through the main gate is v nice, good selection of beers and wines too

as for icecream plenty of places knocking about, just get one and head to the beach 🙂

The restaurant Ai Cuattra Canti in Finalborgo is great, small, busy and defo in need of booking ahead, proper local food.

I would actively avoid anywhere called the Sir Arthur, but the others look grand, as does Ai Cuattra Canti!
