Locanda Del Marinaio In Cefalù

If you get the table at the back you get a great Seaview. The food was incredible. Three very tasty dishes not including the tuna sashimi which hit the mark. All in all a great experience

The window seat I requested is absolutely stunning but unfortunately the air con blows so hard we had to move to the table on the street - if you do not mind ice cold air blowing in your eyes, you will have the best sunset view of your life there! The staff were attentive to us and while initially it was not possible to move to a less arctic table, the main boss made it possible. We were served promptly until it came to the final bill - in the end we needed to get up to pay despite the restaurant not being busy at all (Monday evening). Now on to the food - absolutely spectacular. The mackerel special was insane. It is not cheap but the quality and flavour is fantastic.

We had dinner at Locanda del Marinaio and were very satisfied. The squid ink risotto, tuna tataki, appetizers, and side dishes were all delicious, prepared with quality ingredients and great care. The value for money was also excellent. We highly recommend this place!

We've been coming back to this restaurant every year for 10 years, and it's always a guarantee! Excellent food, quality ingredients, excellent service! The highlight of our holiday!

We had an amazing dinner at Locanda del Marinaio in Cefalù. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The service was also extremely professional, attentive, and warm throughout the evening. And the wine selection was excellent, with very good recommendations that paired perfectly with the meal. A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended if you are visiting Cefalù!

Amazing good - great service - nice location. We had a wunderful dinner enjoyed with red tuna and black Risotto with Sepia, creamiest ever. And ever the Panna Cotta with Coffee cream was amazing and special taste. Super nice plate arrangement. Will come back!!

From the beginning to the end, the staff was polite and welcoming. We were seated inside next to the window, with a magnificent view of the sea. Every dish was served with attention to detail. The ingredients were fresh. Even though it may be a little bit pricier, it is definitely worth every penny.

Locanda del Marinaio gave us a very warm welcome in Cefalù. I had mentioned my husband's birthday when making the reservation, and we were surprised with a glass of Prosecco upon arrival. A lovely and thoughtful gesture that set a wonderful tone for the evening. The ambiance is stylish and harmonious: the light, space, and atmosphere blend beautifully, creating a pleasant setting for a special evening. The oysters as an appetizer were excellent – ​​fresh, high-quality, and a true culinary highlight. For our main course, we had a risotto with pesto, octopus, and burrata, as well as ravioli. Both dishes were outstanding. The only downside was that they were served on cold plates and therefore cooled down relatively quickly. I also would have appreciated a more refined presentation for the risotto – after all, presentation is key. My husband's ravioli, on the other hand, were beautifully presented. I would particularly like to commend the service: attentive, professional, and pleasantly unobtrusive. The wine and olive oil served were also excellently chosen and perfectly complemented the evening's culinary experience. The panna cotta deviated slightly from the classic version—that's simply a matter of personal taste. The house limoncello at the end, however, was the perfect conclusion to a delightful evening. Overall, a very pleasant experience with great warmth and high quality. I would gladly return.

The food was incredible, it’s clear why it has so many accolades from the Michelin guide. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the chef was also very kind and talented. The tuna tataki was especially delicious and the beef carpaccio had a fresh interpretation I really enjoyed. I would recommend you visit if you are looking for a nice dinner spot in Cefalù.

An excellent choice for gourmets who want to escape the mass tourism in Cefalu.
