Ristorante da Ciccio
Sublime local seafood and charming host Carlo make this atmospheric place a heart-stealer. Highlights include tubattone pasta with clams and pecorino cheese, and a zesty mussel soup topped with fried bread and chilli. The wizened man sitting out the front was once the chef. These days he spends his evenings cigarette in one hand, glass of wine in the other, happily muttering to himself.

Da Roberto
Owners Roberto and Eugenia made the sea change from Belluno in the Veneto, an area famed for its skilled gelato makers. The proof is in the cone. Utterly superlative are the gran biscotti, crema della nonna and the Mozart chocolate and hazelnut combo. The semi-freddi (partially frozen desserts) are also made fresh on the premises and legitimise any gluttonous impulse.

Zi Carmela
Clued-up locals head here for seafood dishes such as the fritturinaepezzogne (a local whitefish baked with potatoes and herbs in the wood-fired pizza oven) or tartare di palamito al profumo d’arancia (tartar of local fish with citrus). Eat in the sunny garlic-strung dining room or on the terrace overlooking the port.

Cantine di Pietratorcia
Set among vines, figs and rosemary bushes, this A-list winery is a foodie's nirvana. Tour the old stone cellars, sip a local drop and eye up the delectable degustation menu.

La Baia el Clipper
With its romantic setting at the port’s entrance, this restaurant is a crowd pleaser. The waiters are friendly, the service slick, and the day’s catch is proudly displayed in the entrance. Try the linguine con gamberetti e rucola (with shrimp and rocket), one of the more interesting specialities. Dress up – it’s that kind of place.

Ristorante il Ponte
Inexpensive, no-frills grub just up from the car park. The pizzas are good, if unexceptional, the seafood satisfyingly fresh and the salads large and varied. Order a margherita, a jug of icy beer and laze away the afternoon under the palm-thatched terrace. Popular with the sun-bronzed boys and babes from the beach across the street.

La Brocca
Across the road from the beach, this unadorned trattoria serves simple, superlative seafood to in-the-know locals. Mamma cooks out the back, nonna polishes the cutlery and the spunky sun-kissed son serves salubrious seafood straight off the boat. Do not miss the spaghetti with mussels, but tuck a napkin into your collar!

Ristorante la Pantera Rosa
Good choices and prices for those suffering from black-tie burnout at this laid-back restaurant on the port's savvy suppertime strip. The menu has all the traditional pasta and pizza choices, plus meat dishes such as veal with wine, which comes warmly recommended.

Da Ciccio
Just the spot for ferry-weary arrivals, this much-loved bar does cheap, light meals, luscious pastries and dangerously good gelato. Eat in or take away, the calzone (pizza folded over to form a pie) stuffed with spinach, pinenuts and raisins is divine.

Lo Scoglio
Jutting out over the sea beside a gorgeous beach cove, Lo Scoglio dishes up brilliant seafood. The ingredients are as fresh as the day’s catch, appearing in dishes like mussel soup and grilled sea bass. Sunday lunchtime is a popular weekly event.

At the chic end of the port, this elegant, wood-panelled café has been spoiling customers and waistlines for more than a hundred years with its irresistible cakes, pastries, coffees and cocktails, all served by old-school, bow-tied waiters.
