Both nights we enjoyed the caprese salad with bright, juicy tomatoes and an absolutely glorious (and enormous!) ball of buffalo mozzarella. Can't beat it. Pastas were good across the board - we had spaghetti with clams, spaghetti with mussels, and a really interesting pasta with tuna, capers, tomatoes, olives, and what tasted like some sort of smoked cheese. All were great, with wonderful fresh seafood. The tuna steak with potatoes, tomatoes, and olives was wonderful. The only misstep food-wise was when we got the beef; it was basically a really dry beef schnitzel cooked to within an inch of its life. That's what we get for ordering meat in Sicily - stick to seafood, it's abundant and fresh. The staff were really good with our kid, bringing him crayons and talking sweetly to him. I also appreciated the choice between two non-alcoholic beers, as many places in Sicily had none at all. I think overall they had quite a well-stocked beer fridge. The food comes out fairly quickly but we did struggle massively to get someone's attention to ask for, and then pay the bill. But we basically expected that everywhere we went. Definitely worth seeking this place out on Lipari!

The name of the place - The Port Café" in Italian - is no accident. Getting off the ferry or the hydrofoil it's the first place you run into morning or night, and usually my first cappuccino breakfast of my visits to Panarea I have right here, just after we hand our bags off to one of the golf-cart taxis owned and operated by Angela and her family. The cappuccinos and croissants are good, the sandwich selection good enough, they know how to do basic cocktails well and they service is usually very efficient. At cocktail hour (aperitivo) they bring out a decent spread and they leave the loud music to The Bridge and the other 1st floor patio bars nearby. Like every bar or café along the tiny port the view is gougeous: sail boats, yachts and the islands of Stromboli, Basiluzzo, Dattilo and Lisca Bianca.. My favorite thing they serve are are the granite - the original Sicilian slush puppies - either "al caffe" for a second breakfast or other flavors after dinner after a stroll through town. Their granite seven years ago inspired one of my first blog posts (http://carbonara.wordpress.com/2008/09/14/slush-puppy-heaven/ ) although the guy with the cinnamon no longer works there.
