Dining in Charlotte Amalie & Frenchtown
Frenchtown, which houses several fine dining choices, also
has casual dining places and night spots. It's a small area
and restaurants have parking areas. Charlotte Amalie's res-
taurants are busier at lunch than dinner because they are in
the heart of the commercial district. Most are closed on
Sunday when the shops are closed as well. Several of our se-
lections are on the waterfront where there is parking.
Caution:
Avoid walking through the alleys at
night when the area is deserted.

Lunch, dinner
One of Charlotte Amalie's most attractive dining spots,
Fagioli sits on the waterfront. You can choose a table in the
gated courtyard or relax in the cool brick-walled inner din-
ing room. Wine racks line one wall and ceramic floors add to
the Mediterranean flavor. Lunch specials include an assort-
ment of panini sandwiches, lots of salads, pastas, calzone
filled with chicken, vegetables and sausage and melted
ricotta cheese. For dinner there are many pasta dishes, osso
bucco, lamb shank, veal marsala with mushrooms and egg-
plant parmigiana. Tiramisu is made fresh daily. There is live
music on weekends. Closed Sun.
