What It Is

Vicolo Stretto is a restaurant-pizzeria located in the alley of the same name, a side lane that opens just after Piazza IX Aprile. The outdoor tables fill the lane itself — in summer you dine between stone walls with hanging lights, in an atmosphere that works.

The cooking is Sicilian with a broad offering: seafood starters, fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, grilled fish, meat. It's not a creative-cuisine restaurant: it's a good old-town restaurant with a well-judged location.

Why Go

• Location: the alley with outdoor tables is photogenic and pleasant. Dining there in summer has its charm
• Versatility: a broad menu, from pizza to fresh fish. Good for couples, families, groups
• Value for money: for such a central location, the prices are reasonable
• Fish: the seafood first courses (pasta with clams, spaghetti with sea urchin when available) are the strong point
