When your travels take you to Cortona, in the valley below is <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187894-d1519995-Reviews-Ristorante_Pizzeria_Cantanapoli-Cortona_Province_of_Arezzo_Tuscany.html">Cantanapoli</a>, a superb seafood restaurant.
<h3>Why we recommend Ristorante Pizzeria Cantanapoli</h3>
It's unusual to find excellent seafood this far inland, therefore this restaurant owned by 2 Neapolitan brothers should be on every seafood lover's list. The shellfish was superb, featured first on the antipasto that we shared as a starter. It had fresh cold octopus salad and several types of cured fish and as soon we finished it, out came the surprise 2nd part; a bowl of steaming clams and mussels! The pasta course was predetermined since we are dedicated to spaghetti alle vongole, and sure enough, sweet and delicious tiny clams piled high on top of hot pasta was a treat to all senses. We even had the main course that made this into a huge feast! But the grilled and lightly fried mixed seafood platter was a good way to further explore the menu.
<h3>More about Cantanapoli</h3>
The house white wine was perfect and inexpensive, and the whole meal with mineral water and coffee came to about 45 euros a head. Really good value for such high quality food. I didn't even look at the pizza menu, since good pizza is so easy to find anywhere in Italy. Service was friendly and efficient, and the menu has English translation. The setting was most pleasant in one of their two well furnished dining rooms. You MUST make a reservation, this place is far too popular to get a table without booking in advance.
