WHAT TO EXPECT Atmosphere Located among the narrow streets of this seaside village in the hotel of the same name. A small restaurant seating only 25. Elegant and refined. As it's always full, it's better to book - or to wait; it's worth it. The restaurant opens during tourist season but is known for its quality and hospitality. Located in an old fishermen's house. Food The sampler menu offers the best of the day's catch. Among the most popular dishes is spaghetti Carloforte-style, with a fresh tuna sauce. Specialities Fish or prawn tartar with quail's eggs and a spoonful of caviar served on an ice-cold plate. The smoked house mullet or grouper is exceptional, the lobster terrine delicate and delicious. Desserts to make your head spin: saffron-flavoured cream with chocolate truffles and winter cherries, ice-cream with hot caramelized fruit and torrone from Tonara. Wines: the best regional labels; the choice of oils is also excellent. Average Price: € 46.00
