With footpath tables under umbrella awnings on a low-key Capo piazza, this local favourite makes thin-crust pizzas in a variety of shapes, including quadri (square, picture-frame-shaped pizzas) and vulcanotti (named after famous volcanoes and looking the part). Toppings include Sicilian specialties like tuna, capers, pistachios, mint, aubergines and fresh ricotta.
