Scoglio delle Sirene is the ideal place for long lazy lunches or romantic evenings, eating on the terrace overlooking the beautiful beach, Purity. The food is excellent local dishes made with local produce and fresh locally caught fish.

"With tables out on the ramparts overlooking Purita beach, this restaurant couldn't get much closer to the sea if it tried. The kitchen is devoted to all things marine: mussels with gorgonzola, macaroni with prawns and mint, and great big lobsters that you have to do battle with. The word is, if you can't afford La Puritate, come here instead."
And from one of our guests,
"Superb setting on the walls of the old town. Excellent seafood, raw and cooked, and fresh fish. Service from the Sirens was a bit sullen I thought. An unexpected 10% service charge for the terrace was rather cheeky."
