Fantasy
(26 Via
Carducci Giosue,
Carovigno) A local
favourite, this
restaurant may lack
the frills but you
cannot argue with the
quality of the food,
the quantities served,
the choices offered
and the tiny bill that
gets presented to
you afterwards.

Da
Michele
(3 Via
della Torre, Santa
Sabina) An excellent,
family-run seaside
restaurant in a
pleasant setting. The
