If you want a special experience on Stromboli, this is the place to come. The space is beautiful, the waitstaff very friendly and exceptionally professional, and the food and wine very good. Owner Nino is from Sicily and takes a lot of pride in his restaurant and cooking. It shows. Ingredients are fresh and dishes are not overly complicated. Our favorite are the whole scarfano fish with potatoes, and spaghetti vongole or Stromboli-style. We had a great dense, warm chocolate cake for dessert last time we went. We will always keep coming back for a guaranteed relaxing experience.
Note: though the restaurant is not directly on the water, it has a fabulous view of the water. Ai Gechi (so named for the geckos that enjoy the walls in the evening) is spotless and very tastefully decorated with linen tablecloths, candles set in black volcanic sand, white columns, and perfect green terrace floor. You can sit on the big covered main terrace, or perch up on the back level, which also has a special, romantic table overlooking the terrace. read more
