Local bar/ Restaurants:
A short walking distance up the road from the piazza of Costa is a neighborhood bar “Silvia” that serves alcohol, soft drinks, coffee and gelato and sells tobacco products and tickets for the ATC bus; it's open until midnight. This is a popular evening spot w/ Framura locals and vacationers; Silvia’s son Davide who runs the bar at night, speaks a little English and is a punk / R&R fan.
Downstairs attached to the bar is Ristorante Silvia that is known for its seafood; I personally recommend the seafood appetizer
There is another restaurant Ristorante Meri next door that is known for its fresh homemade pasta dishes and elegant service; I recommend their gnocchi w/ pesto and their pansotti w/ walnut sauce. However the latest news is that it will be closing soon as the owners wish to retire.
Parking & Shopping:
Parking on the piazza of Costa is restricted to residents; non-residents can park in the public parking space which is located up an incline near Ristorante Silvia.
Two times a week in the morning, there is either a grocery truck selling vegetables and fresh fruit or a truck selling fresh seafood that stops in the piazza of Costa.
