Tips for Eating Well
- 1.Ask for the catch of the day: serious restaurants display it or tell you. Avoid those with overly broad fixed menus.
- 2.Book in high season: the best restaurants are full. Book at lunch for dinner.
- 3.Via Roma after 9pm: it's the heart of nightlife. Stroll and choose where inspires you.
- 4.Bring cash: some small places don't accept cards or have connection problems.
- 5.Try beach kiosks: sandwiches, salads and fresh fruit at honest prices.
