When they're not working at their own restaurant, Straight Wharf (6 Harbor Sq.; 508-228-4499), Gabriel Frasca and Amanda Lydon hang out at the following spots. Here, Gabriel tells why:

Sfoglia This ambitious trattoria delivers Italian peasant cuisine with an island bent. We love their olive-oily, salty bread—perfect for mopping up Bolognese (130 Pleasant St.; 508-325-4500).

Pi Pizzeria Evan Marley's new autentico wood-fired pizzeria offers outstanding homages to both Italy and Nantucket; try the remarkable local clam pizza (11 West Creek Rd., 508-228-1130).

Black-Eyed Susan's Don't miss their brunch, especially French toast with orange–Jack Daniel's butter. We prefer our whiskey on the rocks, but in a pinch, we'll take it on our breakfast (10 India St.; 508-325-0308).

Nantucket Bake Shop The Portuguese sweet bread here is so good, no one should be allowed off the island without two loaves of it in his or her luggage (79 Orange St.; 508-228-2797).
