Il Girasole In Montalbano elicona

Homemade and very tasty food. A quaint and welcoming place. Generous portions and friendly service. Excellent value for money.

we had a great experience once we were in Montalbano, In fact we came here twice. They have nice food and especially vegetarian options, that around this area is a bit difficult to find. The staff is kind and friendly as the owner. The bathroom also are super clean that is something very important. We definitely recommend it. There was also a Karaoke night that was very nice! Grazie ritorneremo!

Excellent pizza and super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent place and the best service

Just like home...nice atmosphere, top-notch food Service 💯

We arrived there by chance and were seated on a small veranda with tables nestled together like a Tetris. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was welcoming, which I think was normal—since it's Sunday, they try to accommodate as many customers as possible. The dishes were really good, though perhaps a little overpriced for a trattoria. Now for the main problem: the service. I'd say it was an exhausting experience, to say the least! The people milling around the dining room looked like they were on their first day on the job, and not even... total disorganization, never a smile or a friendly word, not even when faced with the most obvious mistake! I highly recommend reviewing a few points because, given the good food, this place could offer so much more.

We ate at this restaurant recommended by the B&B where my girlfriend and I were staying. What can I say, everything was truly delicious! The freshest, most traditional, and delicious products, from appetizers to desserts, from house wine to coffee, were so delicious that we asked the owner where we could buy some of the cheeses and cured meats we'd enjoyed. She was kind enough to direct us directly to the farm where they were produced, and where we decided to go the next morning! Everything was excellent value for money. Highly recommended to anyone who has the opportunity to visit the beautiful village of Montalbano Elicona and its stunning megaliths.

The place is small (I highly recommend booking as there aren't many seats) but very cute. The food is authentic, cooked in a traditional home-style manner. The owner is very kind and comes to make sure everything is fine (they fixed an issue with the order without batting an eyelid). The prices are definitely fair (compared to the other dishes, only the appetizer is more expensive, but the lard on the charcuterie board melts in your mouth). Gluten-free appetizers, first courses, and second courses are available, but not desserts. Recommended.

Traditional & fantastic service, we are full and happy after a visit. 🌞

We had a good experience here. The local food was well prepared (the pork tomato sauce was a big highlight). We did not try the burgers but by the look of them they looked appealing. The staff was nice (maybe a bit too fast at removing plates) and the owner kind and pleasant to exchange some words with. A nice discovery while visiting Montalbano.
