For excellent food and a bustling, authentic vibe, head to this old-school trattoria. Since the 1930s, locals and visitors alike have been squeezing into Gino's simple dining room to feast on tasty seafood and classic pastas. Don't miss the seafood antipasto, the butter-soft roast seppie (cuttlefish) and the scrumptious seadas (fried dough pockets with fresh pecorino, lemon and honey) for dessert.
