The Best Seafood Near Trippini, by the Record

Rank 1. Ottavi Mare

Rank 2. San Lorenzo
Seafood
Black truffles turn up with genuine generosity here, which tells you something about how this family-run restaurant in Spoleto's historic center operates. It sits inside the Clitunno hotel, but the mood is its own: an intimate, recently refurbished dining room with seasonal meat and fish, and a terrace on the small square for warmer nights. Park outside the restricted zone and walk in; the stroll through the old town is half the point.

Rank 3. Pepe Nero
Modern Seafood
A small, modern seafood restaurant on the western shore of Lake Bolsena, where the terrace puts you close enough to the water to feel the logic of eating fish here. The menu leans almost entirely toward the sea, which takes a little faith this far inland, but the kitchen commits to it. You can follow a themed tasting menu or pick your way through the carte, choosing at least two dishes and letting the quiet, unhurried service do the rest.

Rank 4. La Trota
Freshwater Seafood
The Santa Susanna canal runs right outside the door, and on good days you eat on a wooden bridge above it, which is only appropriate given that trout, tench, pike, and freshwater crayfish are the whole point here. This one-Michelin-star country restaurant in the Lazio hills has been around forever, treating freshwater fish with the seriousness usually reserved for the sea. They send you home with wild herbs to steep.
