The story
On the quai Comparetti in Bonifacio, Da Passano is a restaurant that embodies the spirit of Corsican hospitality. Open daily from morning until late, it offers a place where the island’s flavours and relaxed pace of life come together.
The restaurant is built around a convivial bar, a terrace that catches the harbour light, and an épicerie fine – a small shop of Corsican delicacies. The atmosphere is warm and unhurried, with a setting that feels both local and welcoming to visitors.
Da Passano’s recognition by the Michelin guide reflects the quality of its Corsican cuisine. The kitchen draws on the island’s traditions, using ingredients that speak of the maquis and the sea. The menu changes with the seasons, and the dishes are presented with a straightforward elegance that lets the produce shine.
The restaurant is part of the Zani Group, and the team behind it has created a place that feels rooted in Bonifacio. Whether you sit at the bar for a drink, take a table on the terrace, or browse the épicerie for local products, Da Passano is a genuine expression of Corsican dining. It is a restaurant that earns its place on the wattafork index through its consistent quality and its ability to make every meal feel like a moment of the island.
