Right on the beach at Fitts Village on the west coast, Il Tempio is a relaxed yet stylish Italian restaurant and beach bar run by an Italian team who have built a reputation for some of the most authentic Italian cooking on the island. Tables sit close to the sand, and the west-facing setting makes it a much-loved spot for sunset, with sailboats and catamarans drifting past as the sky changes colour.
The menu runs from handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza to fresh local seafood and rich, classic Italian dishes, alongside a strong cocktail list and a well-chosen wine selection. Daily happy hour and a warm, family-style welcome from the owners make it as good for a casual drink as for a leisurely dinner by the water — it has even been featured among the coolest beachfront restaurants in the Caribbean.
