Al Grottino
In a 14th-century building close to the Piazzetta, this small, friendly, family-run restaurant has arched ceilings, autographed photos of famous patrons, and lots of atmosphere. Specialties include scialatielli ai fiori di zucchine e gamberetti (with zucchini flowers and shrimp) and cocotte (house-made pasta with mussels, clams, and shrimp), but the owner delights in taking his guests through the menu of regional dishes.
