| Wow! An excellent local Primitivo at Cibu in Ceglie Messapica. It had 16 1/2% alcohol, the highest we've ever drank. |
 |
| The menu at Cibu in Ceglie Messapica, notable for its listing of horse and donkey |
 |
| Sheep entrails on the left (compacted into a sort of sausage shape. Part of a tasty meal at Cibu in Ceglie Messapica. |
 |
| Fried veggies at the honest and satisfying Alle due Corti restaurant in Lecce |
 |
| Mostly eaten before I remembered to take a photo, this superb pasta dish at Corte de Fiore restaurant in Trani shows just a few pieces of pasta and the thin shell of succulent Mantis Shrimp which Emma later spotted on the waterfront in the photo below. |
 |
 |
| Spaghetti with sea urchin at Corte de Fiore. OK but not the dish we would have liked. Unfortunately there were not enough sea urchins in the day's catch to have it alone. |
 |
| Fine octopus with potato and fried anchovies at La Pergola restaurant in Positano |
 |
| White wine at La Pergola |
 |
| Excellent local fish at Next2 restaurant in Positano. Shown below as served |
 |
| A great pasta dish at Il Pirata in Priano (after our five and a half-hour hike on the Path of the Gods from Nocelle) |
 |
| Excellent fried anchovies at Il Pirata in Priano |
 |
| Another good white at Il Pirata |
 |
| Dessert fridge in Alberobello cafe where we unsuccessfully sought a bottle of water |
 |
| Antipasto at Cibu in Ceglie Messapica. Very good. |
 | |
| Success! Fish sausage at the Michelin one-star Don Alfonso restaurant in St. Agathe, high above Sorrento. The 6 photos below are from that restaurant.. |
 |
| Success! Smoked turbot |
 |
| Biggest disappointment of the trip. Risotto with sea urchin and caviar lacked flavor. |
 |
| Failure. A bland ravioli construction |
 |
| Failure. Overly geometric fish dish |
| |
 |
| The kitchen staff at Don Alfonso |
 |
| Good restaurant right next to church in Anacapri (second town of Capri) |
 |
| There was a good restaurant right next to this church on the island of Ischia |
 |
| My only ice cream of the trip |
 |
| This is a lemon |
 |
| These are lemons |
 |
| The fresh figs were excellent |
 |
| Amuse bouche at Trattoria Antica in Sorrento |
 |
| Pasta e Fagioli - three types of pasta plus beans, a staple dish at Trattoria del Golfo in Naples |
 |
| Tomato treasure |
 |
| Cheese treasure |
 |
| The volcano which destroyed Pompeii is now a pastry sculpture. |
 |
| Reputedly the best pizza in Naples at Starita on Via Materdei. It was good but is based on a softer dough base than we are used to. |
 |
| Hotel rooftop picnic in Naples featuring fried artichokes, stuffed pepper, pickled mushrooms, sauteed peppers |
 |
| Possibly the best pasta dish of the trip. Spaghetti with anchovies, nuts, raisins and a mild curry dressing at L'Angolino in Naples |
 |
| One of the many tests of virtue which I passed |
