🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 La Stiva – A place with heart, flavor, and a wonderful history
An absolute insider tip in Sicily! If you don't just want to enjoy excellent food but also experience genuine hospitality, La Stiva is the place for you.
Run by Antonella, who is originally from Germany and made the move to Sicily out of love for her father – and what a gift that is for guests! Her passion, warmth, and sense of quality can be felt in every detail.
The ambience is charming, stylish, and typically Sicilian – you immediately feel welcome, almost like you're at a friend's home.
We were fortunate enough to enjoy a delicious Sicilian-style menu. The side dishes and local wines were also perfectly matched. Here, they truly understand taste and hospitality.
We were particularly impressed by the emphasis placed on fresh, regional ingredients. And the service? Top-notch! Friendly, attentive, unobtrusive – simply a place to feel good.
👉 Conclusion: La Stiva is more than just a restaurant – it's a heartfelt project steeped in history, run by an impressive woman who combines German precision with Sicilian joie de vivre. Anyone who doesn't stop here is missing out on a true piece of Sicily.
If you're traveling in Sicily and want to experience something truly special, you absolutely shouldn't miss "La Stiva." A true insider tip for connoisseurs!
Grazie mille, dear Antonella – we'll definitely be back! 🇮🇹🇩🇪🍷❤️

We had lunch at La Stiva and were thrilled with the food, the attentiveness, and the friendliness!
The appetizer menu was simply incredible. Our highlight was the pear carpaccio with Gogonzola, honey, arugula, and walnuts. Fantastic!
The waiters were all very attentive and always present without being intrusive. We felt very comfortable and will definitely plan to eat at La Stiva for future visits to San Michele.
My tip: It's worth the trip even from further afield!

We had a wonderful evening at Antonella's. The restaurant is somewhat hidden away and is a real insider tip.
We were very impressed with the typical Sicilian food and highly recommend it. The ratatouille and lemon tiramisu are world-class! We'd love to come back.

De eerste avond dat wij bij La Stiva gegeten hebben was zo lekker, puur en gastvrij dat wij avond twee en drie hier ook zijn geweest. Antonella en Angelo komen van Sicilië en koken met de producten uit de regio. Je krijgt geen menukaart maar een tafel vol kleine gerechtjes. Vooral proeven, delen en genieten. Goed om te weten; wijn en water zijn bij de totaalprijs inbegrepen.
Je proeft dat hier met liefde is gekookt. Antonella en Angelo hebben onze vakantie tot een feestje gemaakt.
