Italian-leaning Mediterranean kitchen on the cape, pasta, wood-fired pizza and Aegean fish in a room engineered for long sea-view dinners
Alliance has run on the İzmir Kordon for years; the Yıldızburnu room is its summer outpost on the Çeşme cape. The cooking sits between Italian and Aegean, fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, sea bass and grouper from the local boats, mezes done with restraint. The terrace stretches along the water with capacity for serious group dinners (up to ~180), and the wine list runs deeper than most peninsula rooms. Stronger on Italian-side dishes than meyhane classics; come for pasta-and-fish nights, not a rakı table.
Order the strawberry-arugula salad and a fresh pasta before going to grilled fish, the kitchen is most confident on its Italian side. Sea-edge tables only; the back terrace loses the point.
