Seafood Restaurant, Sicily

Cephalu - Sicily - Italy
Ristorante Trappitu, Cefalu, Sicily
Restaurant in a converted oil mill with much-coveted terrace overlooking the sea (the views are beautiful but, more importantly for Italians, it's outside so you can smoke). The main attraction is the lobster, clams, sea bass, cuttlefish and just about anything else that can be removed from water with a net, pot or hook. But it's also a great place to come to watch people make idiots of themselves: get a table in the atmospheric stone-walled interior (much more room, aircon), order a prosecco and watch as the beautiful people attempt to beg, threaten or bribe their way on to the terrace. We saw cash, fags and what looked like an offer of sex, but the maitre d' stood firm: no prenotazione, no prime preening spot. Via Bordonaro 96


There's a scattering of B&Bs in Ginostra, a remote village on the Aeolian island of Stromboli. Try Luna Rossa who'll arrange for a donkey taxi to carry your luggage up to the guest house. ยท ginostraincontro.it.
