Price Range €1–10

Moka Alfa Caffe sits right on Lungomare Imperatrice in Sanremo, making it a natural stop for anyone wandering the seaside promenade. This small cafe caters well to locals and visitors looking for a casual, no-fuss bite alongside a refreshing drink. The outdoor seating invites you to pause and watch the world go by—especially pleasant during sunny afternoons when the waterfront breeze adds a gentle coolness.

The menu leans into easy, satisfying food: panini filled with classic Italian combinations like prosciutto, mozzarella, and tomato, as well as light snacks such as piadina and Aperol-based bites. Spritz Apéro is a popular choice here, offering a refreshing complement to the simple food, which feels more like an impromptu snack than a formal meal. Visitors often appreciate the quick service and friendly atmosphere — staff take a genuine interest in making sure you enjoy your stop, rather than rushing you along.

Given its proximity to local bike rentals, Moka Alfa Caffe is frequently a spot for cyclists to recharge with a cold drink or gelato, making it a relaxed rest point rather than a destination for long lingering. For those meandering through Sanremo on foot or two wheels, this cafe fits smoothly into a day of casual exploration along the coast. It’s not about dining in style but about enjoying approachable, authentic local flavors in an easygoing environment.

Overall, Moka Alfa is best for anyone who values a quick, tasty snack paired with meeting locals or fellow travelers in a setting where the sea and sun shape the pace of the day. It’s not the place for a slow, drawn-out meal, but rather a slice of everyday Sanremo life captured in a glass of spritz and a well-made panino.

A perfect spot for a quick stop snack and cold drink. Complementary piece of local pizza was a nice touch. (The pizza was awesome! Spritz even better) Grazzie!

Nice spot for a bite to eat, drinks or gelato. Right next to the bike rentals as well.

Such a kind lady served us. We got 2 paninis for €10 euro. They were so good that when we found €5 on the beach we had to go back for another one
