- Specie di paranza
Lumachine di mare
These sea snails are really good. The sauce they're in is amazing — I want to put it on everything. They're very tasty, but it takes forever to eat them all because I keep dipping bread in the sauce. The flavor is so rich and fresh.
- Padellaccia di crostacei e molluschi
Frittura mista di paranza
This mixed fry of small fish is incredible. The breading is super light and crispy, and the fish is so fresh you can taste the sea. I love dipping the fried fish in the sauce from the lumachine — it's a game changer. There's nothing better than this fried fish, honestly. 10/10.
