Feisty Concetta serves a set menu for lunch and dinner from her long terrace, located near the Chiesa San Bartolo. You can expect a large selection of antipasti (such as wild fennel, sautéed shrimp, and roasted eggplant), a pasta course, and some variety of roasted fish. It's true island home-cooking, done in abundance and served with incredible hospitality.
For a relaxing aperitivo at the port overlooking the sea, Bar da Carola has a generous and delicious little spread with your drink of choice, not to mention a supersweet staff.
A native of Naples, Ciro Aragione has called Stromboli home since the 1990s. From his home, he cooks lunch for visitors to the island, usually a set menu of pasta and fish he's bought straight off the boats that morning. In addition to the home restaurant—really a long table on his terrace flanked by lemon and mandarin trees—he can arrange catered picnics for your boat excursions or beach days, and will deliver to you.
