La Nicchia
A long-established seafood restaurant in Scauri, open since 1987, where you can eat sea urchin pasta and pizza in a garden inside a stone house.
Located in Scauri Basso on the island's southwest coast. Opened in 1987 in a traditional dammuso stone house, it was listed in the Michelin Guide for many years and is recommended by Fodor's. Dine in the garden under a vine-covered pergola, or visit the adjoining Dispensa Pantesca next door for a sunset aperitivo. The menu is fish-focused, with sea urchin pasta, amberjack with short tube pasta, and pizza, all well received. Book ahead in high season. About €35–60 per person.
