I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Sicilia

15/10/2025: Fantastic sea food restaurant! The food and wine here were delicious - every dish was was thought-through without overthinking, original and experimental without overdoing it. Every ingredient made sense and the flavours were amazing! We were served delicious bread along with our dishes which we used to sweep up the last bit of sauce on our plates. Sitting at the "chef's table" we could watch the magic being done right in front of us. The only weak point was the service which seemed a bit overwhelmed - it wasn't always possible to get their attention. If we ever come to Palermo again, we will definitely come back!

14/10/2025: Suck the brain. A bold motto - as is the tasting menu. Unfortunately, bold does not mean good in this case. The menu started off with a small fried triangle that contained burning hot oil to burn your entire mouth. Taste was fish/prawn - alright. Off to a good start. Next up were raw prawns with an oyster mayonnaise that didn't taste like oyster at all. Actually quite good but more focus on the prawns would've been great. Next we had to "suck the brain". The question is: Why? Just putting two severed prawn heads on a plate and telling us to suck it is just low effort. There was no special taste, smart modification or even spice on it. Just cooked heads. This is their statement dish and it just doesn't make sense. The mackerel with tuna was good although the oregano sauce was tasteless and thin. Then it got worse. Pasta with cocoa sauce, a slimy piece of prawn (intestines?) and a few pieces of lobster. Terrible dish. Unbalanced, way too rich. It is not fun to eat and it tastes outright bad. I get the idea but the execution is just not right. The pasta itself was on point though. Next up squid. The 100% guarantee of sea-based food didn't matter anymore apparently. Chicken jus and sweetbread. This dish was pure fat and two of us couldn't finish it because it was so rich. Even the mushrooms tasted just like fat. Again, not enjoyable at all. The fish of the day was more mackerel and it came with sardella and raisins. The sauce tasted like the cocoa sauce from the earlier dish again and didn't harmonize with the fish at all. Bitter, unpleasant. Then we were served some blueberry(?) sorbet with olive oil and capers. We got no explanation what it is (even though we asked, they just left). The sorbet wasn't sweet and adding the capers made no sense. It was neither good nor enjoyable. The highlight of the menu was the dessert. Not only because you're finally done with tasting the menu but because it's actually good. Buttery, sweet, smooth with a nice crunch. The staff was unmotivated, unfriendly and most of all absent. We weren't served any drinks for well over an hour. They just put the plates on our table, read the dish name and left immediately without any explanation of what we were served and what the chef wants us to experience. At least we got more cutlery for every dish than we could ever use (two forks and a knife for the pasta?). The wine recommendation was a frizzante which was fine. Overall I recommend staying away from this restaurant and go find another one. Palermo has so much more to offer.

27/10/2025: In the simplicity of the setting, excellent service, friendly and professional, fair prices, and the best is... the food. They do their job, quality and quantity are excellent... There's no other like that caponata... a pleasure for the senses, thank you.

07/10/2025: Really good pizza, excellent quality, perfectly cooked. It's a Roman-style pizza dough.

01/12/2025: Park on the road next to a bar and walk down towards the beach bars. Follow the beach to the right and you can admire the Scala dei Turchi up close. The scenery is magnificent, especially at sunset. To climb the Scala, you apparently need to book online for only 5 euros. It's inaccessible for wheelchairs. The descent and ascent are very steep and not level.

21/10/2025: I had to change rooms because I had ants coming out of the shower drain, and when I flushed the toilet in the other room, the toilet water came out of the drain. But luckily they fixed the problem quickly and gave me another room that was perfect. We received excellent service 😉

27/10/2025: Nice Sicilian style with great atmosphere

05/08/2025: Delight 😋 Exquisite flavor 🙌👍👌🍕 and excellent location 🥰

09/10/2025: Everything was great, delicious food, family atmosphere, beautiful place, the owner Roberto is an excellent person, congratulations, we will definitely be back

01/10/2025: This restaurant has become a must-see for us. For the quality of its regional products and the flavors of yesteryear. The macaroni, a typical Calabrian dish, and the pipi and olives (dried peppers fried in a pan) remind me of the dishes my grandmothers used to make. Highly recommended. The welcome, the owners Roberto and his wife And their daughter Giada. The future is assured. I'll be back next month. Yet another trip to Calabria.

06/12/2025: A day trip from Bologna. After visiting the historic center (wonderful), we stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. Aperitivo in the lovely lounge bar, delicious and attentive staff, and an owner who engages you and makes you feel at home. It would be a shame not to try it... Top-quality seafood. Excellent wine. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back!

04/12/2025: restaurant that never disappoints 😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

17/11/2025: A restaurant serving traditional Italian cuisine. Tables are elegantly set. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. There's a large selection of expensive brand-name wines. No casa wine. The wine is expensive—a glass costs 7 euros, a bottle about 20 euros. The elegant atmosphere was marred by a fly attacking us.

09/11/2025: The wine was good, the macaroni was good, but the spaghetti with clams was just not up to par. Sand in your mouth from the first bite to the last.

31/10/2025: Very kind and helpful with the service, the outdoor area is sheltered and very large and beautiful.

17/06/2025: Ottimo cibo quello che ho mangiato era delizioso con piatti molto abbondanti. Il posto era carino e accogliente, un po' di caldo ma niente di che. Se vi trovata al centro storico di Trapani consiglio questo ristorante, non è nemmeno troppo lontano dal centro.

09/06/2025: Servizio eccellente , qualità del cibo ottima, antipasti e primi spettacolari complimenti!!!! Si vede che fanno questo da anni e anni!!!

24/11/2025: We've always had a great experience; in fact, we always end up here for any event without even thinking twice! Friendly and professional staff, fast service, and the pizza is always a guarantee. We always leave satisfied.

13/10/2025: The portions were much too large, and it didn't taste good either. I can't recommend it; I don't understand the other reviews.

16/07/2025: A restaurant located within the prestigious Four Points by Sheraton Catania, a seductive, refined, and intimate modern setting. A terrace offers a captivating panoramic view of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. A minimalist-chic interior welcomes guests, with a mix of tables, comfortable sofas, and a bar. A beautiful panoramic elevator ensures a breathtaking view of the entire futuristic structure. A simple menu, including traditional Catania dishes, impeccably prepared, clean, and original, using seasonal and local ingredients. Delicious homemade breads, simple yet captivating. A comprehensive wine list, including Sicilian and international wineries, and an excellent selection of champagnes. The elegant, friendly, and helpful dining room staff made all the difference. Perfect value for money, obviously in line with the peers in the same sector.

16/06/2025: Nice place, attentive staff, good food.

07/12/2025: We love coming to Sikelia every year when we're in Giardini Naxos. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very welcoming, and the service is excellent. Thank you so much!

02/11/2025: The dish was delicious. Very good prices compared to the restaurant next door. The waiter was very friendly.

26/09/2025: Very warm welcome, on the road to the craters of North Etna. Room and breakfast were decent. The evening meal was excellent and plentiful. My gluten intolerance was taken into account at all meals.

31/05/2025: The best - excellent food and accommodations. Big breakfast. Small private house/cabin with own front porch with expansive views. Will come back.

01/12/2025: Cold and noisy place. A few service issues. There were seven of us at a very cramped table. The thick crust pizza is good, although there's an extra charge.

28/11/2025: Excellent pizzas and appetizers. Professional service and staff.

12/11/2025: We tried several different doughs, and they were all truly delicious: crispy dough, Roman, pinsa, focaccia pugliese, pizzolo, pizza with a crust, and finally the brioche. I found the crispy dough and the crust (just the right thickness and completely hollow inside) exceptional. The ingredients and combinations offered were also excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful, and above all, very knowledgeable. We will definitely be back.

01/11/2025: Excellent pizza, the staff and owner are exquisite people, we highly recommend!
