"You can count on this casual beach bar in Casamicciola Terme to be perpetually busy. But you can also count on owner (who, yes, is named Gino) and his staff to keep you entertained with jokes and small talk while you wait for a table. Once you’re settled, start with the bruschettone, a large piece of toasted bread topped with things like eggplant parmigiana and finished with grated cheese. This is a great spot for a reliable caprese salad or another island speciality, the zingara ischitana, a grilled prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich, before heading back to the beach." - Gillian McGuire
