I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina siciliana

28/09/2025: Mediocre welcome, the pizzas are better in France! It's a shame because the view is incredible.

23/09/2025: This time I didn't have a great time, and neither did my guests. It's a shame to waste such a beautiful place. The food was definitely not up to par.

12/11/2025: Discreet and helpful staff, delicious food served with warm bread. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: Located in the heart of the historic center, the restaurant boasts a refined and intimate atmosphere. The number of tables is limited, but expands outside during the warmer months. The menu consists mostly of seafood, although there are also some options for vegetarians and meat-eaters. From Tuesday to Friday, the restaurant offers a lunch menu that changes weekly. Good value for money.

31/10/2025: The place is nice, even if it's overcrowded with items, but still nice. Unfortunately, despite the high expectations based on the numerous positive reviews, the dishes are absolutely not up to par: pretentious but not much. Even the stuffed eggplant rolls or the sardines a beccafico, which should be the signature dishes, barely make it above average. The service is poor, pretentious in its manner but completely inadequate: young and disinterested people constantly pass by without attending to the tables. They're even rude in their manners: when an adult woman asks if they have caponato in addition to the stuffed eggplant, they point to them without saying a word. The prices are high, considering what has been said. A negative experience for a place that from the outside is attractive and even has potential. If this is Sicily in Milan, well, poor Sicily.

19/10/2025: Very nice location in Milan to taste Sicilian food. In addition, you might be lucky and have the pleasure to listen to piano songs . But stay away from the table close to the piano..:-)

13/11/2025: Very good home cooking. Very nice place, excellent service.

10/07/2025: A must-see every year!! Their couscous is spectacular; in addition to the generous portions, it's packed with fresh seafood. The staff is knowledgeable, excellent service, and friendly. I recommend it!!

05/10/2025: I went to La Corte dei Mangioni last night. There were 19 of us, including the kids. A very negative note: we had a reservation for 9:30 PM, and after finally getting seated and ordering, the food was served at 11:25 PM...it was appalling, especially for the kids who couldn't take it anymore. Plus, they didn't serve all the dishes at once. The pizza was good. As for the sandwiches, we had higher expectations, but instead, we were disappointed. The same goes for the seasoned potatoes. Add to that the fact that, after waiting two hours, some sandwiches arrived burnt and others raw inside...well, it wasn't the best!!! They offered to remake them, but that would have meant waiting I don't know how long, and honestly, NO!!!! To all this, I must unfortunately add the lack (very little) of courtesy from the girl who served us; she even seemed annoyed and very rude... I'd say politeness comes first! Then, if you understand that people wait two hours for food, at least try to be a little polite and courteous. We definitely won't be returning!!!

01/10/2025: Inedible Angus steak, served on a hot cutting board that splattered oil all over, mediocre tiramisu... mediocre service. I don't understand how they hold up the 4.5 stars... avoid.

17/09/2025: You can only eat the trofie with bacon and pistachios...the rest is to be thrown away.

12/08/2025: An almost perfect experience The place is cute, small but very welcoming. The food was truly excellent, with excellent value. The four stars are due to two small details that, in my opinion, can make the difference. As a side dish, we were offered a plate of "sautéed vegetables," but we received simply seasoned spinach. It would have been more accurate to specify that it was spinach, especially since it's not a popular side dish for everyone, and it's a shame to waste it. The second flaw was the lack of desserts. I understand the August season, but I would have expected at least a small selection, perhaps a semifreddo or a mini cannoli. Despite these issues, overall we had a very good time.

12/11/2025: Very nice location, excellent quality of products from breakfast to hot food to lunch

07/11/2025: It's late afternoon. My colleagues are working on the computer while I, fresh from a life-changing experience that altered my physical perceptions, am intent on writing my opinions on this place called "Menza." I'll begin this review by specifying that I'm a traveler and that this isn't my first time here, but my second. In fact, I think that to gain a clear understanding of anything, you need to try it at least a second time. When you're talking about an experience that overturns everything you thought you knew about life, that makes your certainties collapse like a house of cards, well, in this case, twice is definitely not enough. But I'll do my best to be as clear as possible. The restaurant staff is courteous, and the wait for pizzas is very short compared to most pizzerias I've been to on my long, hungry travels. The pizzas are delicious, the toppings are exquisite, and the sauce is probably made by pressing tomatoes freshly picked in the Field of Eden. The fries are so good that if a colleague of mine were being attacked in the restaurant bathroom, I'd continue eating them without any guilt, rather than step in and save him. The crust, often overlooked in traditional pizzerias, here is excellent even for dipping in the on-site water, available free of charge in the bathroom on the first floor. Regarding the first floor, I have a whole note to write. In fact, upon arriving at this level, which at first glance resembles the dining room on the Titanic, we notice how physical perceptions begin to become distorted, the air appears almost still, and shadows begin to dance in the dim light. Exploring the floor, we can also see a door leading to another dimension, similar to a field of grass stretching to the horizon, where humans and pizzas coexist peacefully, in an idyllic and serene world. We can see women strolling around holding a Margherita pizza, a devil carrying a baby in a stroller, and so on. The only downside: ten of us entered, and nine of us left. We don't know where one of our friends ended up, but we suspect the pizza oven had something to do with it.

02/11/2025: Sunday evening, November 2nd at around 7pm: Quite a few customers, but more arrived over the next hour. Nice lighting inside and out, relaxed and calm music, very welcoming and smiling staff! Ordered pizza (around 14 euros), they are large and they have some slightly different and interesting varieties, tasty! Large selection of beer, good red wine. Ordered Sicilian desserts, which were far too sweet for our taste.

10/10/2025: Excellent pizzas, even gluten-free! Delicious appetizers. Compliments.

04/11/2025: Buatta is highlighted in the Michelin Guide as a restaurant offering good value for money – a recommendation that initially piqued my interest and prompted me to visit. Unfortunately, I have to say: I find this recommendation completely unfounded. It became clear from the start that the evening would not be pleasant. Since I'm from South Tyrol and my Italian isn't perfect, the waiter repeatedly and mockingly referred to me as "Crucca" – a disrespectful and completely inappropriate comment, especially in an establishment that caters to an international clientele. My companion, who speaks fluent Italian, was equally baffled by this behavior. We had ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings – a concept that usually emphasizes harmony and culinary coordination. At Buatta, however, it felt impersonal and unprofessional. With each course, the waiter pressured me to "finish my wine" so he could pour the next one. When my friend briefly left the table, the next glass of wine was poured without any explanation. Not a word about the grape variety, no description, no connection to the dish. When I later inquired, I received only a flippant, "Nero d'Avola, it'll go with your dish." The wine pairing was a complete disappointment: neither well-matched nor convincing in terms of flavor. The dishes themselves were equally lackluster. The antipasti consisted of three small portions—two with fish, one with meatballs—without any discernible concept or balance. The starter was spaghetti with cuttlefish—an uninspired dish that neither looked nor tasted appropriate for a tasting menu. The main course, salsiccia with potatoes and a bit of broccoli, was simple and more reminiscent of a basic pub meal than creative Sicilian cuisine. The meal concluded with a cinnamon bun with lemon granita—a strange, unbalanced finale that lacked any culinary cohesion. In conclusion: Buatta falls far short of its reputation. Neither the cuisine nor the service reflected the quality or respect one would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The wine pairing was disappointing, the dishes unbalanced, and the staff's manner towards guests simply disrespectful. Palermo has many excellent restaurants – after this experience, Buatta is sadly not one of them.

29/10/2025: We had the ravioli and the annelletti and were delighted. The food had a special touch and, in our opinion, it still deserves its Michelin star. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

29/10/2025: Restaurant on the Castello Ursino square. Large and welcoming atmosphere, with a spacious outdoor patio. The pizza was excellent, as was the pasta alla norma. Extensive appetizer buffet.

29/10/2025: We've been here twice in two days because of the great food and the excellent service from Nicolás, a fantastic waiter! We'll definitely be back :)

26/10/2025: We stopped for lunch, and even though it was late, they happily gave us a table. The menu features dishes based on the catch of the day, excellent quality, and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

09/10/2025: We had a wonderful meal. The set menu included many tasty seafood appetizers, two seafood starters, and a mixed fish main course, all excellent and reasonably priced. The location is very central. The staff is friendly and the place is beautiful. Highly recommended.

04/11/2025: Unfavorable quality/price ratio

25/10/2025: The ingredients were high-quality, the appetizer seasoning was a bit lacking, and the wine list was unfortunately very limited and not up to par, which significantly affected my rating. The price was too high.

23/07/2025: Cibo di ottima qualità, personale gentile e ambiente accogliente e raffinato. Abbiamo consumato un primo e un secondo cadauno, tempi di attesa ragionevoli, pulizia, cortesia e qualità.

30/06/2025: In zona centrale, entriamo per puro caso, ambiente accogliente, accolti un sorriso, prendiamo due pizze (dai nomi legati alla tradizione letterale sicula). Che dire: fantastiche. Ottima farcitura, impasto soffice e leggero (sinonimo di una adeguata lievitazione), leggera alveatura, cornice elastica e pronta al ritorno. Veramente buone, complimenti. Servizio rapido, prezzi nella norma. Bellissima esperienza.

02/11/2025: The best restaurant in the Sicani Mountains!!!

18/09/2025: I had lunch at this restaurant, which offers average, home-style cuisine. The service was terrible, with staff who were indifferent, confused, and rude. They showed no attention to the customer, and instead were arrogant and judgmental.

27/05/2025: Attention to detail in the environment (even the music could not be more appropriate.) The food is excellent in quality, freshness and plating. Professional also in the service. Compliments!!!
