I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina siciliana in Sicilia

28/10/2025: A welcoming restaurant overlooking the harbor with an outdoor seating area. Excellent dishes with generous portions. The staff is helpful and attentive.

26/10/2025: Absent, unprofessional waiters, terrible service, coffee and drinks served without a table set. Coffee served without water, drinks brought to the table without a tray. Prices inflated at checkout by a rude cashier and company. 100% not recommended.

08/10/2025: Very nice, historic place located in the center in a historic building. It was a 250-year-old cellar. Excellent quality food, not exactly cheap, but quality is paid for. Excellent wines, very kind and qualified staff, I recommend it.

08/10/2025: Nice restaurant, nice waiters & Very Good wine

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.

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.

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.

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!!

30/06/2025: The most delicious pasta I've ever eaten, all 5 stars

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!

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

05/08/2025: Ho mangiato in questo ristorante consigliato da varie persone. Tutto molto buono, porzioni molto abbondanti rapporto qualità prezzo fantastico e personale cortese. Da provare

01/08/2025: Non eravamo mai stati a Portopalo e dopo una visita al centro città ci siamo spostati in zona porto. Per puro caso ci siamo fermati in questo ristorante. Sono stati gentilissimi a farci accomodare nonostante non avessimo prenotato in quanto la sala era piena e molti non hanno avuto la nostra stessa fortuna. Abbiamo mangiato del pesce freschissimo cucinato e marinato sapientemente. Abbiamo dovuto chiedere dei contenitori per portare a casa quel ben di Dio che non siamo riusciti a mangiare. Abbiamo preso un Piatto Mare per 2 persone veramente abbondante. Ottima anche la pasta fresca ripiena, una grande differenza rispetto al classico raviolo pronto congelato per non parlare del fritto misto che ha preso mio figlio. Alla fine è rimasto spazietto per un ottimo sorbetto al limone. Lo consiglio vivamente e consiglio di prenotare.

08/10/2025: Friendly and fast service, abundant dishes (even too much), everything excellent!

06/10/2025: Nice place Terrible food The only good thing was the octopus The seafood salad was inedible
