  2. A

    Trattoria Pescomare

    Near the cathedral, the Pescomare serves up a pleasing selection of local fish dishes and a wide range of pizza. Grab a spot in the vine-covered courtyard and feast on the spaghetti alle cozze (spaghetti with mussels).

  3. Trattoria Maniaci Pina

    On the south side of the Vulcano, beside a black-sand beach, this atmospheric, down-to-earth trattoria serves hefty portions of fresh-caught fish at affordable prices. Try the spaghetti with nero di seppia (cuttlefish ink).

  4. La Nassa

    Genuine Aeolian cuisine is served in this family-run trattoria away from the main drag. Favourites include fish such as cernia, sarago and dentice, or try the Aeolian sausages, which are a house speciality.

  5. Trattoria-Pizzeria ‘da Salvatore’

    Charismatic Salvatore (who speaks German, French and some English) has run this popular, Slow Food–­recommended trattoria in ‘upper’ Petralia for 25 years. The wide-ranging antipasti selection (€9) includes grilled seasonal vegetables and a delicious fresh ricotta frittata (omelette). Everything is prepared in the wood-burning oven, including pizzas (from €4), which are an evening-only treat.
