The pick of Marceddi's waterfront restaurants, this is a relaxed spot for a seafood feast. Try the octopus salad, or, if they're available, fleshy little sea urchins, followed by fregola con arselle nera (small semolina pasta with black clams). For a main course, you can't go wrong with grilled fish.
