I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Sicilia

22/10/2025: We arrived well ahead of our scheduled time, but despite this, and despite there being seven of us, we were greeted with great kindness and courtesy by the "hostess" (I call her that because it was like being her guests, not just customers). Given how early we arrived, a long wait would have been the least we could have expected, but instead, none of that happened; we were served in a very reasonable amount of time. As for the dishes they served (all of which were very popular), I can say that the ingredients used were incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. The combinations were spot on, and the food didn't taste at all of MSG (as is often the case in some restaurants), yet each ingredient retained its own flavor, lending each dish its own contribution to a pleasant harmony on the palate. The staff seemed very attentive and eager to accommodate our requests, and all of this happened with a packed restaurant! As for the bill, we paid a little below average for a seafood lunch, but I repeat, the quality was far superior. What more can I say? I think we'll definitely return to this welcoming restaurant in the future, and I recommend everyone reading this to try it. I returned with the same group of friends after two years due to COVID, which brought the entire world to a standstill. What more can I add to what I've already written? An old saying goes, "It can get worse." Well, if you come to Vincenzo, and return after a while, you'll discover that "it can get better" too. The staff is welcoming and attentive to your every need, and the dishes are always top-quality and in keeping with the best Sicilian tradition. The owner, despite the restaurant being packed with customers, carried out her duties as if she were in the privacy of her own kitchen, not failing to exchange jokes with us and other customers, a sign of a certain confidence in the trust she has in the dining room and kitchen staff. I confirm the five stars and regret not being able to add more. I thought I could stop here with my praise for this place, but instead I'm back to heaping praise upon praise. The location had already changed a few years ago, when they moved a hundred meters or so in the direction of Messina, but returning today with the same group as always, we discovered that the place has been completely renovated. We can certainly say that their passion for preparing the food, always delicious and using fresh ingredients, has also been reflected in the care with which they have furnished the rooms, making the restaurant a refined and welcoming environment. Nothing to add to the proverbial courtesy of the staff, from the lady to her son, attentive and quick to understand and interpret the customers' needs. Last but not least, Mr. Vincenzo is excellent, an excellent chef and creator of the always flavorful dishes served. It's a shame we can't give more than five stars, but they would all be well deserved! This place definitely deserves to be included among those you should visit often! I keep coming to this welcoming and peaceful place and feel right at home. The dishes are always top-notch, both in terms of flavor and freshness. The generous portions have become legendary. The waiters, Hamza among them, are also friendly and welcoming, but the others are no exception. The five-star rating has been confirmed again this year. Always well-deserved.

21/10/2025: We happened upon the restaurant by chance. The food is incredibly delicious, the pizza super light and freshly topped. The Sicilian starter (with mortadella, pistachios, and mozzarella) and the homemade tiramisu are also highly recommended. The staff speaks good English, and the owner is fluent in German. We highly recommend this visit and would gladly return! Mille grazie!!

23/10/2025: A simple stop on a gloomy day in Erice. Genovese with freshly made ricotta and Genovese with cream, delicious and crunchy! The pistachio coffee and pomegranate juice are delicious. The atmosphere is rustic and welcoming, just like the owners.

19/10/2025: The restaurant's reputation is overrated. The quality of the dishes is uneven: good eggplant rolls with ricotta, swordfish risotto is bland and not creamy. Too bad, the meal is expensive, especially since the 3 euro cover charge is exorbitant. Service is rushed because the restaurant caters to groups.

16/09/2025: I spent a month wandering around Sicily and dedicated myself (at the risk of giving myself diabetes 🤣) to finding the best cannolo. For me, this one was the best 🙌

17/08/2025: Education, professionalism and kindness are at home, everything is delicious

04/11/2025: We were in this beautiful place, excellent food, impeccable service, much appreciated...see you next time

03/11/2025: Amazing dinner… staff was super friendly, they even provided gluten free options.

11/11/2025: The food is rather below average, especially for Italy. It's a shame. They could really improve a lot if they had the motivation. But I suppose the tourists generate enough revenue to justify the low quality.

10/11/2025: Delicious very tasty food. Lasagna and linguine pescatore. Bruschetta and limoncello. Good service and friendly staff. Love that it’s down away from the main thoroughfare. Great atmosphere too!

01/11/2025: A nice restaurant in the old town of Cefalu. The food is nice but not the best we had. It's in line with the prices they charge. So nothing fancy but a good place for a nice pasta or pizza.

31/10/2025: We enjoyed eating in the courtyard adorned with fruit trees; for a change from Italian dishes, we ordered a vegetable couscous which was very good. The lemon sorbet was also excellent. Impeccable service.

19/10/2025: Not worth eating here the food is at best average mine was below average. Obviously cheap ingredients and no love in the kitchen but to be honest the pickings in Marzamemi are slim apart from the two Michelin recommended . The best part of this restaurant is the view the rest is below average don’t waste your money food is tasteless and tuna way over cooked. Totally over priced for what it offers

14/10/2025: A restaurant with a beautiful view, right on the sea. The "linguine gattopardo" (literally, "the leopard linguine") first course, with pistachio pesto and tuna bottarga, is excellent and unique. The cannoli are also delicious.

01/11/2025: Not only did my husband and I return to this delightful restaurant, we went four times during our eight days in Taoromina. On our first night there, we sat beside a couple who said they had been there three times during their stay. The entire staff welcomed us back warmly we saw other familiar faces. Our meals were tasty and always satisfying. Anna was not only knowledgeable about Sicilian foods and wines, she came to know what our tastes were and happily made suggestions which introduced us to local new delights. We highly recommend dropping in.

31/10/2025: We had a tuna risotto appetizer. The seafood risotto was horrible. It tasted only of tomato, full of sand. When we told the waiter what had happened, he suggested redoing it because he thought the problem was the pepper. Re-made it without pepper, nothing changed. The tuna was raw! The oyster appetizer was good, but everything else was normal—in fact, for Sicily, it was even average-to-low!

15/10/2025: The osteria is a bit off the beaten track, away from the hustle and bustle. Very friendly service and delicious gnocchi!

01/10/2025: Great food at reasonable prices.

02/10/2025: We had a delicious meal, fish of the day. My partner had meat, which wasn't as good. The place is beautiful, spacious, yet intimate thanks to the various nooks and crannies.

01/10/2025: Not recommended Expensive, not very generous (empty langoustine), mistake on the order Unfriendly staff and management

19/10/2025: Table booked for 4 arrived on time we ordered 4 pizzas (2 Quattro Stagioni and 2 Tropea and two medium beers and a bottle of water). After an hour of waiting we said that we had a train at 11pm they told us that they were cooking (false) we got up and asked to put them in the box.. we waited some more.. in the end the bill 40 euros..... MADNESS.. INEEDIBLE PIZZAS.... (THEY DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE)

15/10/2025: Good pizza local go here to eat chosen takeaway pizza

31/10/2025: Simone, Samuel, Grazia and all the staff excellent judgment I always feel very good

27/10/2025: We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday in late September, sitting outside. Friendly service, a decent wait, but the dishes turned out to be more than delicious. Fettuccine with bacon and pistachios, and paccheri with octopus ragù. Followed by a Mediterranean grill... all delicious. We were very satisfied.

23/10/2025: Every detail is taken care of: delicious dishes, quality ingredients, and impeccable service. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for a pleasant evening or lunch with friends or as a couple. Highly recommended, one of the best restaurants in the area!

26/09/2025: Great, friendly service and delicious food! Highly recommended 😊

26/10/2025: This restaurant was recommended by some local friends we met. Besides the beautiful location and the truly warm welcome, we had a wonderful meal! Fresh ingredients, refined, and incredibly delicious dishes, paired with recommended local wines. The experience was wonderful, highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back every time we visit Marsala.

22/09/2025: A charming and refined restaurant, with excellently reinterpreted Sicilian specialties, attentive and meticulous service, and a special mention for the maitre d' and the chef, who are always present in the dining room.

11/10/2025: Recommended by other people, we had a good dinner, outdoor terrace and indoor restaurant

07/10/2025: Without a doubt, and after a week in Sicily, this is the worst and most expensive restaurant we've ever had. The pasta, which they sold as fresh, I highly doubt was fresh. Expensive dishes. They also charged us €3.50 for a bottle of water we hadn't ordered, and they didn't serve it to us.
