CAFÉS

Albatros Via dei Mille 38 090 928 3666. Once the classic café in which to hang out
while waiting for your ferry or hydrofoil, and though the dock has moved 100m up the

street, Aeolians and old-timers still flock here for nostalgia’s sake and for the great
barman. Yummy pastries (try the nastrino, a raisin twist, or the cornetti with apple
and crema), plus good savouries and ice cream. Or make the waiting easier with a
deftly mixed martini. Daily 10am–8pm; Nov–May closed Tues.

Bar Dama Piazza Battisti (no phone). Excellent little café for a daytime snack, with a
few outdoor tables. The fruit granite are terrific. Closed Mon Oct–June.

Il Spizzico Via dei Mille s/n (no phone). Right next to the Ustica Lines office, this

takeaway does the best arancini hereabouts, including versions filled with aubergine
or spinach and mozzarella. Open daily.
