Gelsonero In Savoca

Love this place. Everytime we visit the food keeps getting better & better. Menu changes according to what’s in season and the chef knows exactly how to use the freshness of what she has available. This time we went for the Angus Carpaccio followed by amazing pasta with a donkey meat ragu and another pasta with black pig and fresh fennel sauce (this was absolutely devine). As seconds, my wife opted for the veal with artichoke sauce while I had the red snapper in tomato sauce. As you can imagine, the sweets were insane, you can hardly go wrong in Sicily with sweets. Giovanni and Francesco made sure that everything went smoothly throughout our meal. What a gem of a restaurant. If in Savoca doing the Godfather Tour or just passing by, this place is highly recommended. We even had the honour of meeting the proprietor Antonello, a very friendly and interesting person.

Unforgettable lunch on Christmas day

Giovanni, the head nurse, welcomed us with kindness and professionalism as rarely happens nowadays. Excellent dishes, especially the first courses, accompanied with delicious wines, all in a glassed-in room with a wonderful view. A thousand thanks!

Good welcome, inventive Sicilian cuisine and beautiful view

What a beautiful way to spend the evening in Savoca. One of the highlights of our stay. A quiet Sunday night, but the friendliness and helpfulness of the host, the exceptional food and the excellent location made it such a memorable evening. Highly recommend a visit or even a special trip.

We had a wonderful lunch! Homemade pasta was some of the best we experienced in Sicily. Friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere.

We visited twice in October 2024. Loved the food (especially the smoked beef carpaccio) and the friendly staff. The photo shows Ristorante Gelso Nero from above.

Delicious wine, you give great advice. Beautiful view. It's worth sitting down for a moment and absorbing the landscape!

Very nice and sweet staff, excellent food. Even on a quiet evening, patience and humor. If you're in the area, definitely go there!
