Il Pescatore del Canevone

This contemporary, family-run seafooder sits steps from Museo della Città and Domus del Chirurgo but you'd never know it – its fuss-free demeanour is decidedly anti-hubbub. The daily-changing, chalkboard menu is short on choice but long on freshness. Surefire options: perfectly fried sardoncini (European anchovies) with sweet red Tropea onions, seafood risotto or stewed octopus with candied lemons, seasonal vegetables and cherry tomatoes.
