I Rizzari

If you're travelling between Catania and Syracuse, book a table (at least two days ahead in summer) at this beach-shack-inspired trattoria, its waterside deck offering views of Mt Etna. Owners Viviana and Fede serve some of the freshest fish around, bought from local fishermen and cooked simply and beautifully. You'll find it in the hamlet of Brucoli, around 5km northwest of Augusta.
