Sangre Rojo

Top choice in Lipari


Dazzling vistas of Salina, Filicudi and Alicudi floating in the Tyrrhenian are reason enough to visit this hilltop restaurant near Lipari's northern tip. But the cuisine, based on fresh fish and classic Aeolian ingredients like wild fennel, capers, olives and mint, is the real clincher. Enjoy lunch on the gorgeous sun-drenched terrace or linger over dinner with a sunset view.
