I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Sicilia

15/07/2025: ControCorrente is a gem in the heart of Mazara del Vallo, capable of surprising even the most discerning palates. The refined location, with an atmosphere that blends elegance and Sicilian authenticity, right in the piazza, is perfect for a special dinner or a moment of pure gastronomic pleasure. The dish that most impressed us? The red shrimp tartare: simply superb. Extremely fresh and expertly crafted, it highlights the authentic flavor of the sea without ever overpowering it. A perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication that showcases the value of local ingredients. The service is attentive, friendly, yet never intrusive. The staff knows each dish well and offers expert advice, enhancing the culinary experience. A place you'll gladly return to, especially if you love seafood prepared with passion, technique, and respect for the local area. Highly recommended for those seeking high-end cuisine, without excess but with heart and the highest quality.

09/07/2025: Centrally located restaurant. Very elegant and well-maintained. Excellent service. Good food quality. The wine recommended by the waiter paired perfectly with the selected dishes.

24/06/2025: Very nice and well-kept place, super prepared and helpful staff. We took the 4-course tasting menu with 3 glasses of wine; everything was very delicious, each dish is taken care of in the smallest details and a journey to discover the various flavors well balanced and harmonious with each other, the pairings with the wine simply perfect. I recommend it, a beautiful experience in a very relaxing place

22/06/2025: A culinary gem in the heart of Cefalù. Not your average tourist place where you get your pasta with a sea view but without soul, no, this is a place where the chef greets you with a smile when you enter the shop. In a charming street we discovered CortilePepe, where Sicilian cuisine is not folklore, but refined to an art form. Today we are sitting in the courtyard, a hidden oasis of taste, style and tranquility. The service? Attentive without that forced fuss, just warm and knowledgeable. And the dishes? No standard arancini or margherita, but surprising creations with a modern twist, here you can taste the culinary journey of discovery that the chef wants to share with you. Yes, it is a bit more expensive, but every bite is worth the investment. For those who want to treat their taste buds and really experience Cefalù: CortilePepe is your destination. Put on something nice and be surprised 🍷

09/07/2025: Delicious steaks, tasty pizzas, and pastas. Delicious desserts, and a stunning view from the terrace. One of the waitresses speaks Polish.

08/07/2025: A delightful indoor and outdoor venue, complemented by excellent and varied cuisine. Gianluca and his team have never disappointed me, either in terms of the quality or the fair price of their food.

16/06/2025: We chose the Appaloosa Ranch to celebrate our daughter's First Communion... and we couldn't have made a better choice! Everything was perfect: an original location, surrounded by nature and with attention to detail, with an atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The staff was friendly, helpful and super prepared, accommodating all our requests. A special mention for the cuisine, truly excellent: genuine, high-quality dishes, many of which were made with zero-mile products. Each course had the authentic flavor of things made with love. We received sincere compliments from all the guests, who were enraptured by the original setting, the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. We initially discovered the Ranch while looking for a place to go horseback riding, and we discovered much more: a simple, true reality, with the flavor of the old days. A place that really deserves to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site for how it manages to combine authenticity, hospitality and tradition. I wish there were more places like this! We had a great time and it will definitely remain our point of reference ❤️

10/06/2025: We went with about twenty children to spend a day in contact with nature and animals and we had a great time, the activities are well organised and the owners are welcoming

01/07/2025: Delicious local food! Extraordinary service! Obvious choice in Palermo 😃

30/06/2025: A restaurant recommended on Google, but worth every penny. Very good food, impeccable service. I don't recommend the draft beer, it's local but not very good. Instead, I recommend the food, the wines and the service.

25/06/2025: I like the boss. When the boss works the rest follows.

24/06/2025: Very good restaurant in Ragusa.

07/06/2025: Nowadays, finding a dish that surprises you and makes you discover totally new flavors is definitely not easy. For this I am grateful to the chef. For example, I think that the spaghettoni with anemones and sea urchins can only be tasted here and it is really worth it! And in any case, all the dishes are prepared with care and attention to the raw materials. Just to give an example, for each dish the oil with which it is prepared is mentioned!

01/06/2025: Excellent. I don’t have a lot to say but this: The service is exceptional, the chief comes to present you your dishes, and everyone is nice. When it comes to the food, it’s simply amazing. And for the place itself, it’s decorated with taste and the place is calm.

23/06/2025: One of the best restaurants we've tried in Sicily! The food was super fresh and everything was cooked just right. The timing between dishes was perfect, so we could really enjoy the whole meal. Even though we stayed past their closing time, we never felt rushed at all. Great food, great wine, great service — highly recommended!

22/06/2025: I returned after three years to this restaurant in the historic center of Agrigento and I was more satisfied than the last time: I found a greater variety and refinement in the menu, high quality of food, genuine flavors and elegant dishes with new and original combinations. Elegant service and attention to detail. Highly recommended and, obviously, promoted:)

12/07/2025: We had the Sicilian piada and were very pleased. The one with anchovies and Sicilian cheese was excellent, while the one with tuna and cherry tomatoes was good, but you could taste the oil from the canned tuna, so it didn't taste as good. The piadas are reasonably priced, but we stayed a while, and with drinks, coffee, and the 10% service charge, the price became the same as at a restaurant. The owner and his wife are very kind and friendly.

11/07/2025: So happy we stumbled upon this little gem of a place. Seems like a family owned place. The food is simple, healthy and delicious. Their home made bread is yum! Love the texture as well. Had a piada with Parma, buffala and tomato with a little Limonata 👌🏼 perfect combo

09/05/2025: The top Excellent cuisine and service

16/04/2025: The food excellent. Very good service.

02/07/2025: Very nice place with attentive staff

29/06/2025: A place that takes you pleasantly back in time, excellent and professional staff, they welcome you like friends, exquisite food

21/06/2025: Fantastic place. Excellent traditional food from Catania. Staff over the top.

20/06/2025: Great food, friendly staff, will definitely be back 😜

02/07/2025: The dishes are not tasty, they have no pronounced taste I ordered a dish with swordfish - I didn't taste anything except raisins I expected much more from other people's comments

29/06/2025: One of the best meals of our Sicily vacation. Highly recommended!

24/06/2025: Happy to have met Catania Ruffiana!!! I highly recommend it. The food is divine!! You will thank me. For refined palates!

28/05/2025: We spent an entire evening there, drinking, laughing and eating food that was so good, that it became our scale to compare other meals in Sicily to it :). The fish, the meats, the salads, the pasta, everything! The staff didn’t speak much English but our Italian was enough to communicate. But when it was too difficult to explain what a meal is, the waiter just told us to wait, went to the kitchen and came back a few minutes later with a plate of meats and other ingredients and showed us which is which, while being so nice and funny, that we wanted to try everything 😂. We did have to wait quite a bit for everything and they did forget a few things (brought them later when we asked) but they had a few big groups and were taking care of everyone so it was understandable. They also did it in such a nice and friendly way that we didn’t mind. Every group spent their entire evening there so it’s not just your typical touristy order-eat-leave in an hour. You go there to spend the evening and trust me, you won’t be disappointed. You will have a great time and eat one of the best meals in your life 👌

02/07/2025: We had dinner with friends who know the place Beautiful evening.. Very good dinner.. Spectacular location in the evening with a postcard sunset! Excellent service.. Delicious dishes served.. Appetizers.. Mussels in soup.. Abundant and well-prepared first courses..! Recommended!
