Authentic dishes cooked with love.
In an increasingly cool island, which winks at VIPs or perhaps VIPs, with the sly smile of someone who knows what they're doing, there is a little place on the small pedestrian street of Santa Marina, in a beautiful building, with a refined design and trendy. Thrill... for a moment you fear the beauty that doesn't dance, the all smoke and so on. But no! Surprise and joy, finally!
You are pleased to find real flavours, the clear and clean ones, without limping fusions and shaky balancing acts.
You find the Giarratana onion, the size of a melon, all full of bread, capers and love, and you don't leave even a bit of it.
You find beautiful pasta shapes, those that make you think of "home", farfalle, splits, because only in Italy do we demonstrate in the alchemy of the dish, how it is not true that one shape is as good as another.
You can find wild fennel, which to be the main ingredient of a dish does not need to be accompanied by anyone, on the other hand it is like this: wild, it doesn't ask permission, it is self-sufficient with dignity.
Finally you find the squid and the octopus, wrapped in the sun-kissed tomatoes, the chilli pepper in the right amount and all the skill that makes a dish that could be taken for granted, something that you will remember for a long time and that, you can swear, it will put even the most hardened influencer before the mandatory need to publish the post on Instagram with his fingers dirty with sauce from his shoe, because, as we know, in the end no one can leave good things on their plate.
Very good indeed.
You will remain in the heart like this entire extraordinary island.

Excellent cuisine made in a "creative" way and with genuine ingredients. The choice of wines is vast. More than good value for money. Absolutely recommended

Very nice place with nice music and delicious food. Probably one of the best caponatas in the Aeolian Islands! Not to mention their swordfish sausage which is outstanding. The meatballs were also delicious. We left there very satisfied!

Welcoming place and passionate host, local food and carefully chosen raw materials, above average cuisine, but with room for improvement. Absolutely worth a visit.
Let Massimo accompany you to see the internal garden, it is enchanting.

2 days and 2 memorable nights!! With my husband I tasted during the fish dinner, dishes not on the menu, an unforgettable white wine but I don't know the name of it having tasted only 1 glass of it at the suggestion of the manager who is also the owner

The best restaurant on the island!!! Food cooked with skill and fresh, top quality ingredients. Excellent wine list and a menu for everyone. The staff is competent and very kind. Massimo the owner is truly a special person who explained not only the dishes but also the history of his restaurant and hotel. We sat down to have a glass of wine and stayed until the bitter end! A wonderful experience. I recommend everyone to go and stop for dinner. Thanks again!

One of the many places on Corso di Santa Marina but the cuisine and the cellar have something extra.
A few glitches with the service at the beginning, perhaps distracted by something else, but a pleasant evening also thanks to suggestions from the staff.
We ate well and drank even better. Perhaps the best dinner of the short holiday.
Adequate account.
Advised.
