This is the restaurant that the locals recommend – and frequent. An unpretentious place with hanging baskets of ivy, sunny yellow tablecloths and well-aged terracotta tiles, it specialises in subtly simple primi (first courses) and pizzas. Stop by for the island classic: ravioli alla caprese (pasta stuffed with ricotta, Parmesan and marjoram, with a tomato or sage and butter sauce).
