Dodge the tourist crowds and duck into this traditional eatery, complete with fish-net-strung walls and B&W action shots of island fishermen working their trade. Fresh fish is brought to the table on metal platters for diners to size up and select, and the short menu features all the typical fishy primi and secondi alongside a dozen variations of busiate (the local cork-screw pasta).
