Al Tramonto

Pantelleria


As the name implies, this hillside-hugging restaurant is the perfect place to watch the tramonto (sunset) – but the food here is equally radiant, from traditional ricotta-mint ravioli to creative seafood concoctions and veggies from the garden outside. It's all served in the childhood home of Pantelleria-raised owner Oscar, whose mother used to host large dinner gatherings in these same rooms.
