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!!

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.

Superb meal. Very good service, incredible starters, excellent wine. The only downside (and it's a slight one): the grouper was a little overcooked.

Formica is truly a culinary experience. Carefully crafted dishes allow you to savor the flavors of everything you choose. The service is friendly and respectful of the timing. Prices are in line with the quality offered and the island. I'd go back tomorrow.

The chef's subtlety and delicate handling of the product were more than evident. The crème brûlée was incredible. We washed it all down with a Camporeale sparkling wine that rounded out the evening. Thank you!

Sicilia e Giappone ottima combinazione. Uno dei migliori ristoranti dell ‘isola. ♥️
Qualità della materia prima e della lavorazione molto alta con prezzi nella media di Favignana. Consigliatissimo!

Posto raffinato, servizio accogliente. Prezzi alti, occhio ai fuori menù! Porzioni ridotte per il prezzo proposto. Comunque buono
