Legazpi

Manzanillo


One of several restaurants that are part of the Las Hadas resort, Legazpi is one of Manzanillo's best meals, its cuisine straddling the Mediterranean with an emphasis on Italy. Expect elegant attire (you have to dress up), live piano music, and beautifully presented fish, veal and pasta dishes put together with a light touch and a real understanding of flavors.
