AlVicoletto
No sign on the door. You ring the bell.
Inside it is a stone vault, with the lights low.
The doorbell
The way in
There is no window onto the street. The day's menu hangs beside the door in a wooden frame, on the reed screen. To come in, you ring.

Whatever came in today
The sea in front of the town. The kitchen is small and there are few tables. The menu stays short and changes with the catch.
Before you order, they bring the fish out to show you.
