Il Normanno In Cefalù

A very warm welcome, a smiling waiter, and quick service. They changed our wine because there was a problem with the one we were initially served. They didn't charge us for it and even offered us a complimentary digestif.

The perfect place, a discovery of the 2025 season. Local, seasonal, and top-quality ingredients. The bruschetta tomatoes are aromatic and fragrant, with a touch of good extra virgin olive oil. The mussels are of excellent quality, fresh, perfectly prepared, firm, and not rubbery, with a delicious sauce of their own, seasoned so that the seasonings don't overwhelm their flavor. Next time, I'll ask for a spoon, because it would be a shame to leave such a wonder on the plate! The raw red shrimp from Mazzara del Vallo served with a drizzle of citron sauce and pink peppercorns. A masterpiece! The grilled swordfish is simply divine... The new team, led by Carlo and Mauro, make every effort to ensure guests feel comfortable and satisfied with the service. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. I consider this a prime example of how customer service should be. Attentive, kind, and genuine. I will be back, and I highly recommend it! Grazie di cuore e a presto 😘

I've had lunch and dinner here several times. Always a fantastic experience. The staff is very kind and friendly, especially the waiter, Matteo. The busiata trapanese with red prawns is fantastic. A kiss!

Fresh, high-quality fish. I recommend the raw Mazzara red shrimp. The Salina wine pairs wonderfully.

If you're looking for a quiet restaurant with quality food, this is the best I've ever had. The fish of the day is a must, and the tartare lets you savor the freshness of the sea. The wine recommended by waiter Matteo, a very young man with a passion for his work, is also excellent. I'll definitely be back.

If I could, I'd give it 6 stars. This restaurant is located on a small, quiet street in Cefalù's historic center, 50 meters from the cathedral. I'm sorry I only found out about this restaurant on the last day of my vacation; I would definitely have come here every day. I recommend the smoked swordfish and tuna carpaccio for an appetizer, the tuna tatali for a main course, and the Cuore Caldo chocolate cake for a finish.

Beautiful restaurant, very polite and helpful waiters, beautiful service

Very nice restaurant with friendly service and a great terrace in a beautiful alley!🤩

We visited several restaurants in Cefalù. All were good or very good. But Il Normanno was the highlight, from the quiet location in a side street to the masterful cuisine with all the richness of Sicilian flavors to the personal and humorous service from a competent team. The price is absolutely reasonable. Highly recommended!

The Norma and Carbonara are amazing! Great location on a narrow street. Service is excellent! Make a reservation or come early :)
