Osteria del Pozzo
( 071 207 39 96; Via Bonda 2; meals €25-35; Mon-Sat)
Unless you've booked ahead, you'll
be lucky to grab one of the cheek-by-jowl tables at this inviting
osteria,
which overflows
with regulars. They are here for the spot-on seafood: generous helpings of pasta with
shellfish, beautifully cooked sea bass and the like, all washed down with inexpensive
house wine.

Enopolis
( 071 207 15 05;

; Corso Mazzini 7; meals €35-45; Wed-Mon)
A visit to this
restaurant and enoteca is worth it simply for the tour of the labyrinthine cellars of the
18th-century Palazzo Jona. You can sit among contemporary art or next to an ancient well
as you sample fresh fish (the main event) along with recommended wines for each course.

Drinking
Piazza del Plebiscito is one of the most relaxed spots for an al fresco drink, with tables set
up on the pretty square.
Liberty Cocktail Lounge
(Via Traffico 7-10; 11.30am-2am Thu-Tue)
Hidden on a back alley and identified only by a
discreet sign, this art deco-inspired cafe is an atmospheric spot to kick off a night with a
cocktail (€8). Tiffany glass lamps and a bohemian crowd will make you want to paint the
scene and sell it as a framed poster.
