You'll inevitably be drawn to eating at the Santa Lucia waterfront, in the shadow of the looming medieval Castel dell'Ovo. This spot is a little touristy but fun, with an irresistible combination of spaghetti and mandolins. The menu suggests uncomplicated, timeworn classics, such as spaghetti alla pescatora (with seafood sauce) and tagliatelle alla bersagliera (handmade pasta with cherry tomatoes, tiny octopuses, and clams).
