Hugely popular with locals, thanks to simple yet perfectly executed dishes like stuffed calamari and spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams). The fish, including swordfish, is jumping fresh, and you eat looking out at the bay. Round off a meal with the signature la Procidana, a caprese-style cake made with white chocolate and the juice and rind of local lemons.
