We booked this restaurant for both the aperitif and the dinner, attracted by the beautiful location. Upon arrival, the terrace was undoubtedly suggestive, but the organization left something to be desired: even though there were free tables in the front row, we were shown a table in the second row with the unpleasant effect of admiring the heads of our neighbors more than the view.
The aperitif confirmed the tendency of the entire island to have decidedly high prices: 15 euros for a gin and tonic served without even bringing the bottle of tonic to the table — a small gesture that would have made the service more attentive.
For dinner we were accompanied upstairs: here too the few tables with a view of the sunset were reserved, even though some remained empty until late at night. Our table for two gave us a view that was not breathtaking: I was facing the mountain antennas, my partner was facing the entrance to the restaurant.
The food, it must be said, was of good quality, but once again the price seemed disproportionate to what was offered. The final bill of 170 euros leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, not so much for the amount itself, but for the general feeling of an experience that, with a little more attention, could have turned into a beautiful evening. It is a shame to note how in many locations on the island that little “cuddle” that often makes the difference is missing: a thoughtful gesture, a detail of courtesy, that care of the guest that transforms a beautiful place into a special place.

It is located on the highest point of Lipari from which you can enjoy an excellent view of all the Aeolian Islands, especially at sunset. Each course is a discovery and a tasting, the seared tuna with caponata is worth the climb up.
Extensive wine list, local, Sicilian and also imported.
I think it is the best restaurant in all of Lipari.

First experience for us this year in April at Sangre Rojo after many years on Lipari. The location is spacious even though we were there on a cloudy evening (it was cool and there was almost fog around the restaurant).
The idea of having customers start the evening on the veranda with an aperitif is very suggestive. Then we continued inside with delicious dishes. Elaborate and excellent first courses, among which the Calamarata with seafood ragu certainly stands out (they recommended it to us, specifying that they too had eaten it for lunch... and later I understood why). The homemade pistachio pesto dishes aren't bad either.
I could go on and on about starters and desserts... all really excellent. Wife and children thrilled with the whole dinner.
Keep it up.
Ps: when you do the evaluation it asks for "rooms" and not "food". I valued rooms as if they were food.
