Rub elbows with the likes of Dolce and Gabbana and the president of Italy at this chic resto-bar, a long-standing favourite of Stromboli's beautiful people. La Tartana hits its stride every evening when a refined crowd gathers for aperitivi at the piano bar and couples romance each other over cocktails at candlelit tables on the seafront terrace.
Regulars also flock here to read the morning paper over coffee at breakfast time, graze at the casual lunch buffet or indulge in La Tartana's trademark dessert, coppa Stromboli, a volcano-shaped mass of chocolate, sweet cream and hazelnut ice cream studded with candied cherries and doused in a lava flow of strawberry syrup.
