Basquiat Lounge - SESTRI LEVANTE

Aperitifs are great and the accompanying food was a delight. Drop in. It's a good pre dinner drink spot and service is great.

The decor is really like street art. The place has a very pleasant atmosphere, with an English speaking host. We had a tasty panini and an octopus salad both were good and attractively served with local fraught beer. Very pleasant.

This is a great place for a cocktail or aperitif with a small bite. Fresh made and served with a smile. Original. Worth a try!

In September 2013 we found this amazing cafe in the back, cobbled streets from our hotel on the foreshore. It looked so unique with Basquiat styled painting even on the wooden seats of the chairs at all of the tables. We were really looking for a place to dine that night so unfortunately we didn't return, but I was just so impressed, stunned, to find J-MB remembered in Sestri Levante (just up from the Cinqueterre). I'm not surprised that others enjoyed great aperitivi there!

We tried this place on our last evening in Sestri Levante and wished we had found it sooner. When you order a drink they bring lots of litlle snacks for free. Four of us had a cocktail each, all beautifully garnished and got a huge platter of tiny canapes such as torta di zuchini, tomato and tuna bruschetta, carrot crudites, green and black olives, crisps and sweet water melon on ice. All this for 5 Euros per person! Simply lovely and the bar staff are brilliant. A great place for young and old.
