Il Ciliegio dell'Etna In Giarre

10/01/2025: I discovered this place at the end of December during a lunch to celebrate the baptism. The place is beautiful, it is an ancient Palmento (a place where wine was produced) typical of Etna, it has clearly been renovated but maintains much of its original appearance and inside there is still the enormous (original) press for the must in heavy oak. In the press area there are tanks for collecting grape juice and part of the floor from the 1600s. Beautiful outside with excellent views of Etna and the sea with a view up to Brucoli. Excellent and well served land-based food with typical and local products, delicious vegetable appetizers, sheep's ricotta, exceptional first courses, meat stew and pork shank. The chef's desserts are good and the wine is good. A place you return to for a nice lunch. From what I've read, the restaurant also serves as a pizzeria in the evening

06/01/2025: Very particular location because it was built in an old millstone in Belpasso-CT, very panoramic with a view of the Gulf of Catania.
