vacation apartments, and all kinds of local residents who appreciate the low prices
and plentiful portions. You'll find breakfast platters that range from international (all
kinds of bacon, egg, pancake, and waffle dishes) to West Indian (codfish with potato
fritters). Your best bet involves scheduling lunch here, but not necessarily dinner.
Meals focus on burgers, salads, sandwiches, and daily specials such as roast turkey
or chicken platters, oxtail stew, lamb or pork chops, or curried chicken. No alcoholic

Trattoria Café
ITALIAN This family-oriented restaurant is tucked away in a nar-
row alley 2 blocks north of the City of Hamilton's harborfront. There's not a single
cutting-edge or glamorous thing about it, and that's just what the loyal regulars like.
The decor is straight out of old Naples, with a wood-burning pizza oven (the only one
in Hamilton) and hanging Chianti bottles. The attentive, if somewhat harried, wait-
staff serves generous portions of rather standard, well-flavored Italian food. You'll find
17 kinds of pizza, and the kitchen is happy to create variations for you. Pastas include
lasagna and spaghetti
pescatore.
Veal can be ordered parmigiana- or Milanese-style,
and there's a revolving array of fresh fish. If you're very demanding of your Italian
cuisine, you'll fare better at
Little Venice
