Housed in an ancient fort against Saracens of the fifteenth century, where Garibaldi and Pope Pius VII stayed, this old tavern is one of the oldest venues in Italy.
Transformed into a stylish environment of seaside style by the owners Gianni and Renata Malagoli, the venue boasts a stunning sea view.
In 1860, the Patriots Nino Bixio and Francesco Crispi invoked the help of Garibaldi to liberate the people of Sicily from the Bourbon government. In this way, the famous Expedition of the Thousand was conceived, which enrolled volunteers from each condition and age, that left at dawn on May 6th, 1860 from a rock of Quarto in Genoa.
During the night Garibaldi stayed at the ancient Osteria del Bai in Quarto and here had a rest preparing for departure. On May 6th, 1860 Garibaldi and the Thousand sailed towards Marsala, where they arrived on 11th May. This historic undertaking ended with the Unit of Italy.
The venue expresses the good taste of a certain tradition of gastronomy, with dishes prepared directly by the chef Gianni Malagoli, that offers of the old regional recipes and dishes of international cuisine, as well as some new and inspired specialities.
The cuisine offered is creative, regional, innovative, based especially of fish. Interesting is the wine list of Italian and foreign wines and spirits.
