La Table by La Villa

La Table, the restaurant of the acclaimed La Villa hotel, is part of a growing number of restaurants in France that gave up a Michelin star in order to be more flexible and free in its style of cooking and dining ambience. However, the cuisine turned out in this special setting is nothing short of spectacular, and the Italian chef deserves all the accolades he has been getting. Diners sit with spot-on views of Calvi's Citadelle, particularly magic during sunset. The menu is heavily slanted toward Mediterranean-Italian dishes, and the wine list is extensive and includes many Corsican heavy-hitters. This is one not to miss for foodies staying in the Calvi area.
