Some stuff is brought in from elsewhere along the coast, but most is locally caught. As such the selection does vary. What you can count on in plenty of langostinos, anchovies, flounder, and bream. Occasionally through the week, you will see swordfish and tuna. Prices are reasonable. Cheaper than back in the States for most stuff. Big favorite were the fresh anchovies. Gut them (leave the head and tails on!), rinse; sprinkle a little salt...then fry up til golden and crispy in some local olive oil. Serve up with some local lemons and a glass of local wine. Very mild flavor, fresh and delicious.

We stumbled upon this little outdoor restaurant on our way into town coming from The Blue Trail…read more The promise of Schiacchetra caught my attention as I'd read it is a regional sweet white wine and really wanted to sample it. The woman who seated us was friendly and accommodating. They also had a clean bathroom available for customers. The covered patio brought relief from the hot Italian sun, and the view of the water was spectacular. We ordered a charcuterie and wine and enjoyed the view. As we came to appreciate throughout Italy, the charcuterie board was massive and more than enough for the two of us for lunch. The husband enjoyed a chilled fruity cocktail, and my dessert wine came with dessert! Not gluten-free, of course, but the husband of mine didn't mind helping me with that part.

On the hills that surround the village, there is Kontiki: from there, you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of the whole Gulf. But. it's not only view: it's very nice ambience, limited number of tables, with very nice service, and very very good food. The menu varies, but you always find a few choices of fresh fishes, for antipasto, pastas and main course, and as well a good choice for those who prefer non-fish dishes, like ravioli with cheese and tagliata. Wine list is very valid and the price is more than acceptable for the kind of dinner you have.
