Every local will tell you to not leave Salina without trying a granita from Alfredo's, in the small seaside community of Lingua. I was skeptical (it sounds touristy) until the icy concoction, topped with strawberries and cream arrived on the table. It's hands-down the best version of this classic Sicilian dessert that I tasted during my two-week trip there. Order from the long list of fresh fruit and nut flavors (including fig, lemon, mulberry, peach and almonds) or, if you cannot decide, get two flavors in one.
Da Alfredo also serves incredible pane cunzato, tasty flat round bread topped with a variety of ingredients, including ultra-fresh tomatoes, tuna and mozzarella. Share the pane (they're massive) but get your own granita. Lunching al fresco at Da Alfredo, with a sea view, is indeed a Salina must.
