( 081 896 99 18; Via Salette 10; meals €28)
Behind a veritable jungle of lemon trees
lies the venerable kitchen of Signora Battinelli. Along with husband Franco, she whips up
classics such as
fritelle di basilico
(fried patties of bread, egg, Parmesan and basil), and
homemade aubergine and provola ravioli (€10). They breed their own rabbits, make their
own
falanghina
and it's all yours to devour under a pergola of bulbous lemons. Located
near the centre of the island.
Shopping
Low-key Procida isn't a shopping heavyweight. Good buys include flouncy beach wear
and wine.
Enoteca Borgo Antico
( 081 896 96 38; Via Vittorio Emanuele 13, Marina Grande)
This slick little bottle
shop stocks the best of Campanian vino and a smattering of other Italian drops. The
friendly owner will advise you (in Italian) of the best local wines and the best deals.
Li-
moncello
and a wide choice of traditional and more modern flavoured grappas also avail-
able.

This is a sweet
little boutique which sells brightly coloured accessories, including jewellery that looks
good enough to eat: necklaces strung with what resemble M&Ms, brilliant sherbet-yellow
earrings, gobstopper sized rings, as well as pretty sandals, raffia bags and totes for the
beach.

wispy fine cotton, perfect for those sizzling summer days. Floaty dresses patterned like a
