Ristorante Punta Lena In Lipari

I highly recommend it, the food is very good! I had the Yellowtail as the dish of the day which was excellent! What can I say about the view and the impeccable service... Go there with your eyes closed 😉

A truly charming place. Attentive and friendly service. Truly delicious food. Well done!

Fantastic location on the sea, professional staff, good food.

We returned to Punta Lena after a few years. It was an excellent experience, a delicious dinner with the freshest fish and excellent wine. Very attentive service, a seaside restaurant with a breathtaking view. We'll be back soon. Compliments to the hostess!

Impeccable service, professional staff, top-quality ingredients, and an excellent wine list. Spectacular sea view! Truly a top-notch restaurant! If you go to Stromboli, you absolutely must eat at this restaurant! Open for both lunch and dinner! Reservations are recommended! We really enjoyed our meal! Thank you!!

Very elegant place with a view of Strombolicchio and very good food.

We went for dinner last night. The service was excellent; the waiters were kind, friendly, and attentive. The fish appetizers were delicious (a bit pricey, but in line with the quality of the fish). The grilled fish main course was also very good. It was a shame about the first course and the dessert. The spaghetti with clams was tasteless; perhaps it wasn't mixed well enough, but it tasted like plain spaghetti with clams on the side. It's a shame because the cooking and quality of the spaghetti were excellent. The dessert, on the other hand (a deconstructed cannoli with ricotta, capers, and lemon) was definitely not worth the €12 price tag. It was very stringy, perhaps because of the gelatine, but it wasn't to my liking (perhaps just my personal taste). Overall, it's a restaurant with great potential, and with a few more tweaks to the kitchen, it could be a top-notch restaurant. I would recommend not setting the prices for desserts or side dishes so high. The risk is that it would come across as overly pretentious, setting high expectations that might not be met.

I’m here at Punta Lena once again, and it’s every bit as wonderful as I remember. Authentic in every way, with flavours that truly capture the spirit of Stromboli, it is without doubt the finest place on the island. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is full of charm, and the warm hospitality makes you feel like part of the family. A true gem I’ll always come back to.

Update 2025: The years pass and the quality declines, even as the quality becomes increasingly salty. Pasta "glues" to the table, waiters take your plates but leave the cutlery behind (as if we were in a tavern), and three times we're asked if we want something else (they wanted to close at 11 p.m., it was clear). The cuisine is increasingly less "Aeolian" and increasingly striving for the prestige (useless in the Aeolian Islands) of the famous star. I've been coming here for twenty years, but next year I think I'll skip it. Previous review: 4 stars for the quality of the food and service from ten years ago. This year, I found the prices high for what they offer (though it's still the best option in Stromboli). At least the service was attentive and friendly.

Location fantastica. Freschissimo nonostante l'alta temperatura. Una cena all'insegna dell'alta qualità dei prodotti, eccezionale l'allestimento delle portate nei piatti e porzioni abbondanti. Ve lo consiglio!
