I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina siciliana in Sicilia

28/10/2025: Friendly welcome. There were five of us and all the dishes we chose were tasty and generous.

28/10/2025: We dined outside on a street overlooked by stunning baroque balconies, but the interior is also very beautiful and evocative. The table service is professional, courteous, and friendly. The dishes we ate were delicious. The highlight of the first course is the fresh pasta; we had ravioli with ricotta cheese and pork sauce, and macaroni with veal meatballs. For the second course, there was a mixed grill and a boneless grilled chicken leg. The wine selection was also excellent. A surprise was the opportunity to visit the family museum on the first floor, featuring period objects, furniture, and clothing, and a small balcony from which to photograph the street from above. We returned two evenings.

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.

18/10/2025: We arrived at this restaurant by chance, prompted by Veronica Via Etnea, who led us to this trattoria. We ate very well there and the chef offered us Marsala liqueur. Giuseppe, the waiter, was very attentive. We recommend it.

10/10/2025: Very friendly staff and excellent food.

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.

15/08/2025: It was much better before...over the years there have been no improvements.

15/08/2025: Everything was good, from the starters to the main courses and side dishes. One flaw: for ready-made meals, a 15% service charge at the end of the bill in Catania is way too much, especially considering you're already paying for the cover charge. If I'd looked at the receipt first, I definitely would have done or said something.

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 :)

04/11/2025: Il Barcaiolo è un'incantevole ristorante immerso in un paesaggio molto particolare, si potrebbe dire quasi un delizioso "nascondiglio" armonioso tra mare e montagna.La sublime qualità del pesce, gli ottimi antipasti, la bontà dei primi e la genuinità delle pietanze vi stupirà piacevolmente!Il tutto "condito" da un servizio impeccabile: personale attento e davvero gentilissimo.Lo consiglio a tutti, credetemi sarà un'esperienza indimenticabile!

17/10/2025: As fresh as it gets. Amazing food, beautiful location
