Ristorante La Fenice
This unpretentious restaurant makes up for its lack of sea views with its simple and delicious fresh seafood dishes. Calamarata con pesce spada (pasta with swordfish and vegetable ragu) is an interesting choice but if you haven't yet tried calamari ripieno (stuffed squid) now is the time to do it. In August the restaurant stays open all day.

La Caffeteria
A delightful café in Maratea's central piazza with outdoor seating for dedicated people-watching. The cakes and pastries on display deserve serious attention. Try a local favourite, the almond-filled mandola. Also a great spot for evening drinks when the piazza is alive with music.

1999
The blue cane lounges and nautical décor might give it away but there are no prizes for guessing what's on the menu in this snazzy restaurant overlooking the port. The seafood, straight off the boat, doesn't come any fresher. The antipasto misto is a recommended choice.

Trattoria Pizzeria La Torre
La Torre, a family-run trattoria opposite the mermaid fountain in the centre of Maratea, serves local Lucanian fare and freshly caught fish at reasonable prices. It can get noisy and crowded. The family operates the hotel La Dimora del Cardinale, just a few steps away.

Il Ghiottone
In this small hole-in-the wall bar you can have a glass of wine and a sandwich. The bizarre mural on the wall takes some working out. Is it the Redentore meets the Hells Angels? Look again, it's a beer-swilling Neptune. What it means is anybody's guess.

Il Faro Rosso
The liveliest café and bar at the port has an extensive menu of teas, hot chocolates, cocktails, wine and beer. The tables and chairs in the piazza are a great place for pre- or post-dinner drinks or even to while away an entire evening.

Litrico’s
A sprawling restaurant and terrace on the approach to Fiumicello’s modest commercial strip. The menu holds few surprises but dishes won’t disappoint. You can work off the carbs with a game of tennis – the owners run the public tennis court next door.

Lanterna Rossa
Head for the terrace overlooking the port to dine on exquisite seafood dishes, like marinated anchovies with chilli red peppers, or a sumptuous antipasto. Cheese lovers shouldn’t miss the cream of ricotta and Battipaglia cheese with Calabrian caviar.

White Horse
One of the few restaurants in the Marina district, the White Horse has an excellent view of the Golfo di Policastro. A huge bougainvillea shades the outdoor terrace where you can dine on fresh seafood (what else?) or Neapolitan wood-fired pizza.

Da Peppe
There aren't too many options in Acquafredda but you can't go wrong in this breezy restaurant and pizzeria. Tuck into the house specialty, antipasto alla peppe, while drinking in the sea views from the garden terrace.

Taverna Rovita
This tavern is just off Maratea Inferiore’s main piazza. Rovita is excellent value and specialises in hearty local fare, with Lucanian specialities involving stuffed peppers, game birds, local salami and fine seafood.

La Bussola Pizzeria
A welcoming pizzeria in Fiumicello recommended by the locals. It's small, it's packed and the pizzas are hot and smoky. It's open year-round but only at night.
