Osteria Ballarò

Bare stone columns, exposed brick walls and vaulted ceilings set an atmospheric, evocative scene at this buzzing restaurant-wine bar. Approved by the Slow Food movement, its graze-friendly menu celebrates island produce and cooking, such as artisan cheeses, salumi (charcuterie), crudite di pesce (local sashimi), seafood primi and memorable Sicilian dolci (sweets). Quality local wines top it off. Reservations recommended.
