Trattoria Amatulli
( 080 432 29 79; Via Garibaldi 13; meals €16; Tue-Sun)
Excellent trattoria with a cheerily
cluttered interior papered with photos of smiley diners, plus superb down-to-earth dishes
like
orecchiette scure con cacioricotta pomodoro e rucola
('little ears' pasta with cheese,
tomato and rucola). Wash it down with the surprisingly drinkable house wine, costing the
lordly sum of €4 a litre.

Although tourists have discovered this place, located to the side of a little
Doric temple, it has maintained the high standards established back in 1958. There are just
seven tables (book ahead), and it serves delicious meals made with fresh seasonal pro-
duce.
