Acqua & Sale
The enthusiastic owners of Acqua & Sale have transformed what was originally a simple fishmonger’s into a restaurant with the addition of an informal, well-appointed dining room on the side. Here, guests enjoy unfussy fresh fish dishes, including an array of raw options and Mediterranean recipes with the occasional personal touch. Recipes include grilled octopus with black broccoli and wine-fermented plums, and porchetta-style tuna with a green sauce, fried new potatoes and sweet and sour peppers. The perfect choice for fish-lovers!
