Fodor's Expert Review Hycesia

$$$$ Panarea Dinner

Open since 1979, this family-owned restaurant is now helmed by son Gaetano Nani whose cooking relies on the offerings of the sea. There is no regular menu—instead, he works with area fishermen to select the freshest fish and frutti di mare from the waters of the Panarea coast, which then informs that night's dishes. Expect fine dining tasting portions that showcase maximum territoriality. Oenophiles will revel in the wine list, which has over 1,000 different labels.
