Monte San Giovanni In San marco d'alunzio

14/04/2026: The food was generally decent, but nothing special. The bruschetta was really good and definitely the highlight. The caprese salad, on the other hand, was nothing special, just average, the kind you get everywhere. I was a bit disappointed with the pasta, as the portion was far too small for my taste. What really spoiled the visit, however, was the service. It felt like a classic tourist trap. Everything seemed extremely rushed, like they were trying to get the table clear as quickly as possible. If you just want a quick bite at lunchtime, this place is okay. But if you're looking for a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere with good service and high-quality food, I'd advise against it. For a relaxing evening, I'd recommend going somewhere else.

12/04/2026: The only restaurant we visited during very short stay in Cefalù. I saw many waiters, working fast and for me that is a good sign. Excellent vongole with spaghetti, I would say not freezed, but really fresh. Bruschetta with tomatos, simple, but with great taste, obviously quality ingredients. Spaghetti Norma, first time for me - excellent. Vincenzo was our waiter. Fast service, the way I like, just service, no fancy talking and bullshiting, (excuse my French). Excellent food and that is all that matters. Nice spot, lungomare. All in all recommendation.
