Locanda Del Marinaio In Cefalù

The appetizers are really good, plentiful, and rich in seafood. They fully justify the price of the main course. I'd give them a full 5. The first courses, unfortunately, are more disappointing, lacking in seafood or lacking in fish, and taste very, very mediocre. They're also overpriced for the amount of food served. I'd give them a 3. Overall, I recommend the place.

A good restaurant with a splendid view from the dining room. The service is generally good: the staff, while some are young or inexperienced, are attentively supervised by what appears to be the owner or manager. The food is good quality; it doesn't reach the excellence levels of a Michelin-starred restaurant, but it's still enjoyable.

Superlative welcome, Francesco was truly hospitable and attentive. The fish was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. This will be a regular stop every time we return to Cefalù.

We visited the restaurant with high expectations, given the positive reviews we'd read, but unfortunately, our experience wasn't as satisfying. The service was courteous and professional, but the food left us a bit perplexed. We ordered a first course, which, unfortunately, arrived overcooked and underseasoned, with sauces that masked the lack of quality ingredients. Instead of a rich dish, we found a sea urchin emulsion that didn't bring out the flavor of the sea, resulting in a bland dish. The cod wasn't convincing either: it was too salty, completely covering up every other flavor nuance. Finally, the raw fish, which should be the hallmark of a seafood restaurant, was very poor in both quantity and variety, and the price was decidedly high. It's a shame, because the attention to detail and the courtesy of the staff are a great start, but the food fell short. We hope for future improvements.

We had dinner at this restaurant. The atmosphere was very elegant, and the quality of the food was excellent, including the fried food, which was completely ungreased. I recommend trying the dishes on offer; they're excellent. The owner was very kind.

Very good dishes. Incredible presentation.

An apotheosis of taste...I almost fainted. Excellent.

Excellent restaurant! The dishes were truly spectacular, well-prepared, and made with high-quality ingredients. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and overall, a great atmosphere for enjoying fabulous cuisine.

Attentive service. Quality food. Great experience!

Pranzo molto buono, esperienza positiva! Cantina così e cosi ma a detta del proprietario per via del recente ri-avvio delle attività dopo la pausa invernale. Servizio ok. Location molto carina con possibilità di tavoli all aperto.
