Marixx: Michelin-Recommended Ligurian Seafood in Ventimiglia by Chef Riccardo Marcenaro

The Essence of Liguria, Reimagined

From the vision of chef Riccardo Marcenaro, Marixx celebrates the rich culinary heritage of Liguria, revisiting it with an elegant, contemporary subtlety. The restaurant’s guiding principle — “from raw ingredient to plate, the essence of Liguria” — speaks to a kitchen that prizes regional seafood and seasonal produce while applying precise, modern techniques.

Atmosphere and Philosophy

The atmosphere is vibrant and refined, with every element — from the music to the harmony of the spaces — designed to enrich the meal. The objective is a seamless synergy between dining room and kitchen, where careful attention to detail elevates each course. Marixx’s commitment to Ligurian cuisine has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that motivates the team to continue innovating with humility and dedication.

On the Plate

While the menu changes with the seasons, the Marixx Experience — a seven-course tasting menu for two with wine pairing, offered as a gift card — provides a window into the kitchen’s approach: Ligurian seafood and seasonal ingredients treated with creativity and respect. The wine list is thoughtfully curated to complement the coastal flavors.

Beyond the Restaurant

Marixx extends its philosophy beyond its walls through a private chef service, where Chef Marcenaro and his team bring the same refined cooking to private events and homes, tailoring every detail to the occasion.

Located in Ventimiglia’s Cala del Forte, Marixx is a destination for those seeking a genuine, modern expression of Ligurian cuisine.
