Sea Salt
Sea Salt is a hot ticket thanks to Venice-born Fabrizio Aielli and his wife, Ingrid. Chef Aielli’s constantly evolving menu emphasizes seafood with an Italian accent and features wild-caught local fish and organic produce. A modern restaurant with sidewalk seating, Sea Salt serves an exceptional lunch as well, putting a gourmet twist on sandwiches and salads. We love the place for a glass of wine and a selection of cheeses, carpaccio, and oysters. But it’s dinner everyone’s raving about, and you’ll see why, with dishes such as grilled King salmon with bacon-arugula potato cake, apple and fennel in a cider sauce, or the sublime ginger scented tofu with napa cabbage, sweet and spicy eggplant in a sesame ponzu sauce. Sea Salt has a twin in St. Petersburg and several excellent Naples siblings: Grappino, serving Italian comfort food, 90 9th St. North (tel. 239/331-4325); Dorona, a modern Italian steakhouse, 2110 Tamiami Trail N. (tel. 239/529-2819); and rustic Italian trattoria Barbatella, 1290 3rd St. S. (tel. 239/263-1955).
