An unwaveringly authentic, Slow Food favourite, this centrally loc-
ated eatery just two blocks from the ferry terminal is the perfect place to try
cous cous con
zuppa di mare
(couscous with mixed seafood in a spicy fish sauce, with tomatoes, garlic
and parsley). In response to its great popularity, the dining room was expanded in 2013,
but it's still wise to book ahead.
