Porta Terra Ristorante In Cefalù

You're not in Cefalù if you don't sit at Porta Terra to drink a coffee in the morning and have a snack with granita and brioche... and the rest disappears

A great restaurant with a lovely terrace and dining room, pleasant and attentive service. The dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. My only slight complaint is the individually wrapped Parmesan; I would have preferred natural Parmesan. Overall, a very good restaurant that I highly recommend.

We booked a post-theater dinner at this charming restaurant in the historic center on TheFork. The service was extremely courteous; we were even served a bottle of extra virgin olive oil with a different aroma, which we enjoyed on our bread (which I received in a gluten-free version, which I greatly appreciated). The dishes we ordered did not disappoint in the slightest: whether seafood or meat, we could definitely taste the quality, both in the cockerel my girlfriend ordered and in my octopus on mashed potatoes. If I really had to make a comment, I wouldn't go overboard with the capers (I think they were those) in the latter, because the very strong flavor risks overpowering the flavor of the octopus. In my case, it didn't, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Highly recommended!

The restaurant consists of two parts, facing each other. One is a café. Delicious coffee. The other is a bar serving traditional food. Empty. No customers. Polite and friendly service. Great location. 400 meters from the train station. Beautiful views.

Everything was wonderful, thank you 🥰

My husband and I came here for the Immaculate Conception long weekend, and even though it was a chilly evening, we sat outside. The warmth and friendliness of the maître d' Antonio (I think that's his name) immediately put us at ease and warmed us up. He brought us an excellent aperitivo, where the homemade arancini were a real treat, and the cocktails we ordered were truly delicious and well-balanced. It's one of the places we'll definitely return to when I return to Cefalù. I highly recommend it!

Real Italian cuisine, great service, highly recommended

Thats how you run a resturante!

​"A truly charming find! The kitchen excels, as evidenced by the wonderfully fresh ravioli in a delicate butter sauce. The lamb shank with Marsala sauce, which my husband thoroughly enjoyed, was nothing short of amazing. Beyond the delicious food and appropriate portion sizes, the service—especially from Antonio—was impeccable, making our visit feel genuinely special." Complements to the chef...

Impeccable service, pleasant environment, original and balanced dishes. We will definitely return without hesitation.
