Charlie Brown In Castellammare del golfo

18/11/2025: Formica is undoubtedly the best restaurant on the island, boasting a location and offering top-quality dishes. The restaurant occupies a typical Sicilian historic house, comprising a central space and two side alcoves, expertly renovated in terms of finishes and furnishings. The atmosphere, with its soft lighting and light, warm colors, exudes a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. The menu features primarily seafood, but vegetarian options are also available. Everything is meticulously prepared, from the warm sourdough bread with extra virgin olive oil served at the start of the meal to the beautifully presented and generously portioned courses. For our appetizer, we chose raw red prawns, snuffbox peaches, tomatoes, capers, and lemon, and for our first course, risotto in fish and shellfish broth with raw red prawns and nduja, and spaghetti with tuna bottarga, potatoes, and lemon. The freshness of the ingredients, expertly crafted by the impeccable kitchen, is immediately apparent. The prices are higher than average, but justified by the type of venue, the service, and the quality of the ingredients served. We were very impressed that the waitress listed the off-menu items with their respective prices; it's a sign of extreme elegance and transparency. Recommended for those who want to indulge in a dinner in a refined, quiet setting with top-quality cuisine. Congratulations, we'll be back! 5 stars overall!!

25/10/2025: The only high-quality gastronomic experience in Favignana in October. All the dishes are refined, true taste experiences. A beautiful blend of contemporary Sicilian-Japanese cuisine, and this is what a difficult person said at her birthday dinner. 🫣 I wouldn't come to Favignana in August.
