Clapsy, Pizzeria and seafood restaurant on Passeggiata Dino Grollero, Alassio, Italy
Clapsy is a pizzeria and seafood restaurant with an orange-colored building positioned between the old town and the Mediterranean Sea, featuring an outdoor terrace. The kitchen prepares fresh seafood, wood-fired pizzas, and regional specialties with menus available in English and German.
Founder Claudio Deghenghi learned traditional focaccia baking during night shifts in Recco's bakeries, where he mastered the craft. This training shaped the restaurant's culinary approach to bread-based dishes.
The interior showcases handmade ceramic tiles from Vietri artisans, blending coastal Ligurian design with traditional craftsmanship that decorates the dining space.
The location between the old town and the beach makes it easy to reach on foot from either direction. The outdoor terrace accommodates various group sizes and offers views toward the sea.
The restaurant created its own version of focaccia al formaggio that is thinner and crispier than the traditional Recco recipe. This variation shows how local bakers adapted the classic technique to suit their own preferences and ingredients.
