We took the time for a traditional, multi-course Italian lunch. The seafood pasta was exquisite, followed by grilled fish, and grilled calamari. Fresh, plentiful, impeccably prepared.

Since we knew nothing about the city we were able to direct us to a favorite local gelateria out in a square for dessert after our dinner.
