Chimera In Lipari

Very beautiful location with tasty and carefully prepared dishes. Chic!

An extraordinary culinary experience, where the excellence of the food is combined with perfect service. A true gem for lovers of good food. However, as lovers of live music, we were literally captivated, fascinated, and transported to a world of special emotions by Maestro pianist Pino Portelli, whom we had previously heard play. The evening began with a quieter, more elegant atmosphere, perfect for conversation and enjoying the company. Late in the evening, when we had all almost finished our dinner, the climax occurred. Great music, the pianist gave his best. A pure spectacle, engaging for all the guests present. Everyone listened to his wonderful performances of classical music, famous pieces, from challenging jazz to rock to classical, all with extraordinary arrangements and the addition of incredible virtuosity. This was the first time, and I'm not just talking about Lipari, that we witnessed such an extraordinary event that captured our minds and hearts. Everyone, including the chef, was in the dining room applauding the maestro, including some youngsters, undoubtedly budding musicians. A wonderful experience that was priceless and, above all, one we will never forget. If you're looking for an excellent restaurant that also features a first-rate musician and a talented pianist, look no further, Chimera is the perfect choice! We will gladly return. 100% recommended

The atmosphere and the delicious food blend together in a perfect blend of aromas, flavors, and the kindness of the staff. We will carry the memories of these evenings with us forever... warm regards to the Maître d' and the entire team who make this place unique!

Second evening at Chimera and absolute confirmation: excellent dishes, meticulously prepared. The pasta with bottarga and black garlic is unforgettable. Chef Massimo Sala is the soul of the restaurant: talent, passion, and an extraordinary sensitivity in showcasing the flavors of the island. Definitely worth a try!

Delicious place, EXCELLENT people and really good food, one of the few restaurants where I've really eaten well here in Lipari.

An excellent dinner made even more special by the magic of the full moon and the captivating music of Pino Portelli.

Restaurant with a fantastic terrace overlooking the sea. From the service, to the atmosphere, to the quality of the food: everything is excellent.

A splendid seaside setting where Maestro Portelli's captivating music harmoniously accompanies the most diverse and imaginative dishes, expertly prepared by skilled hands and served by a helpful and attentive staff. Highly recommended for a lovely evening!

The staff were very kind, excellent, and qualified. The food was excellent, although a little pricey.

Abbiamo degustato ben dieci piatti tutti ispirati da prodotti locali. Qualità altissima. I nostri ospiti sono rimasti entusiasti. Inoltre abbiamo bevuto una eccellente selezione di vini della cantina Garavaglio con il patron che descriveva i vini. Da sottolineare l’attenzione ai dettagli da parte dello chef.
