La Cantina del Polpo

$$

This cozy former cantina with wood paneling, a fireplace, and local maritime memorabilia serves some of the best dishes in town. Using the bounty of the two bays that frame the village, its chefs create inventive menus with standout mains, which include expertly seasoned fish, as well as such starters as spaghetti with anchovies and gnocchetti alla Sorrentina (with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil) and some great desserts. The wine list is primarily Ligurian. The nearby Polpo Mario, on Via XXV Aprile, is under the same ownership and has the same menu.
