Super-fresh fish
Amberjack, tuna, red prawns and the catch of the day: raw, grilled or in pasta. Always ask for the local catch.
Where to eat in Lampedusa
Just-caught fish, flavours between Sicily and North Africa and a few historic spots: eating well in Lampedusa is easy. Here's what to look for.
What to eat
Sicilian-Mediterranean cuisine
Fish couscous, pasta with sardines, caponata: the island's cooking blends Sicilian tradition with North-African influences.
Street food
Pane cunzato, arancine and fish sandwiches for a quick lunch between one beach and the next.
Sweets and granita
Cannoli, cassata and granita with brioche: the classic Sicilian breakfast, perfect in summer.
Tip
In high season the places in the centre and by the harbour fill up in the evening: book ahead, especially for dinner. Fresh-fish prices vary, asking first is normal.
