IL Mare is a seaside Italian restaurant that brings a touch of the Mediterranean to Takahama’s coastline. Facing Wakasa Bay, it’s known for its spacious terrace and its signature “Parmi-Carbo” pasta, prepared in a wheel of cheese right at your table. Guests can enjoy freshly baked pizzas, handmade pasta, and desserts while taking in the sea breeze and ocean views. The new Wakasa Surf Hotel has just opened on the same site, adding more ways to enjoy Takahama’s coastal setting.
