Acqua Pazza

Tiered terraces stack up above Ponza's semicircular port, each table with a view that stretches past Gavi and Zannone toward open sea. This is a classic seafood restaurant, and the cooking keeps its ego in check: fish and shellfish, unfussy preparations, the ingredient doing the talking. The raw seafood that opens the menu sets the tone for what follows. A Michelin star, and an impressive wine list to keep it company.
