Da Miro alla Lanterna
Seafood, Traditional Cuisine
€€€
Buoyed by a long tradition that has made it a true institution of the city over the years, this historic venue overlooking the tourist harbour continues to stand as a point of reference for seafood cookery.

Crustaceans, deep-water fish and catch of varying size are handled with respect and expertise, giving rise to dishes capable of conveying genuine Mediterranean emotion. Among the preparatio
