I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Sicilia

08/03/2026: Nice place, but the quality/price ratio was absolutely absurd for what we ate. The €3 cover charge and €3 per bottle of purified tap water were already a bit of a turnoff, but it's okay. The prices are clearly written on the menu, and as soon as we saw them, we wondered for a moment whether we were in Milazzo, in front of the ferry docks, or in Portofino. Prices were definitely above average. But that's okay, if the product, quality, and quantity are satisfactory, no problem; we decided to give it a try. We ordered four calamaratas (€22 per dish), a spaghetti dish with clams (€25), and a pasta dish with tomato sauce and burrata (€18), two bottles of water (€6), a bottle of wine (€25), a cover charge of €3 per person, and we had to ask for the bread ourselves. Calamarata: a giant dish, but only 80 grams of pasta inside. Each dish literally had 3-4 shelled mussels, 3-4 shelled clams, and 2 pieces of squid. Furthermore, the mussels and clams were definitely not freshly cooked because they had the consistency of pre-cooked food. Taste? Absolutely average. 22 euros for a dish like that is absolutely outrageous, really! 10-15 euros is more than fair for the quality and quantity. Spaghetti with clams: arrived later than the other dishes. And if you want to position yourself in a high price range, you can't make an 8-year-old wait while watching others eat. But that's okay, that's not the problem; they apologized, and that happens. The dish: for the first time in my life, I saw spaghetti with clams without shells, but only with shelled clams. So the question is: were they fresh and did the chef bother to shell them one by one, or was it something from a can/frozen? Because if we order 7 spaghetti with clams, I'd like to see where he finds the time to shell them one by one while other orders arrive from other tables. The question remains, of course, but 25 euros is way too much for a dish like that. Maniche with tomato sauce and burrata... 18 euros. The kid liked them, but it was 7 sleeves of pasta 🤦‍♂️ We all had bread with the pasta to fill up a bit. Final result for 5 adults and 2 children: 7 first courses, 2 bottles of water, a bottle of wine for 25 euros: 200 euros to leave the table hungry. Given the quality of the first courses, we decided not to continue at this restaurant, but to finish lunch with granita and brioche at the restaurant next door. Around €30 per person. For the same quality...I repeat...for the same quality of food we were served, in almost all of Sicily, for this price, you'd eat at least double. Because if the quality had been worth it, we definitely would have ordered a second course, despite the above-average prices. In conclusion, I don't feel comfortable recommending this place for its quality/quantity/price ratio.

26/11/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent seafood, and very friendly staff. My wife and I arrived without a reservation, but luckily there was room. We ate deliciously overlooking the harbor. Recommended.

16/04/2026: Excellent coffee and very kind staff. I highly recommend it.

07/11/2025: Delicious coffee, insanely good cornetti al pistacchio. Cool local atmosphere, close to the Catacombs. Very friendly service 👌🏻

16/09/2025: Good spot with a great price:quality ratio. Redommended to get a quick bite such as a brioche or granita.

17/05/2026: Food was good, View amazing. But the waiter was condescending. Then asked if we would like to leave a percentage for a tip. "No".

13/05/2026: Great view, very good food, friendly service.

23/05/2026: I was only there for lunch and the restaurant was perfectly fine. It's a bit far from town but has lovely views.

23/05/2026: The hotel is about a 25-30-minute walk from the center of Cefalù. Both breakfast and dinner are a 5/10. The rooms are tiny, and you can hear everything from the hallway. The mattresses are springy and uncomfortable. The refrigerator doesn't cool, there's no drinking water in the room, and the bathroom needs a complete renovation. The shower cubicle is 60x60 cm, so bathing is quite a challenge. The shower water is uncontrollable, running hot and cold alternately. The biggest draw is the train tracks right outside the fence and the trains that run every hour or two, 24 hours a day. There are no hotel towels at the pool, so relaxing here is generally quite a challenge. On the plus side, there's a supermarket opposite the hotel.

13/06/2026: Beautiful view of Mount Etna. Good meal.

13/06/2026: Fantastic pizzas, staff and view from the indoor seats! Will absolutely come back, highly recommend

20/05/2026: We had a great meal and the atmosphere on this street is wonderful. The service was very attentive and friendly.

10/05/2026: Thanks Andre for his service and recommending the dishes for us, which let us have a best meal since visiting Sicily.

17/04/2026: Overpriced, small portions and one of the worst meals I’ve had in Italy. I’ve never had a plate of pasta and immediately needed to eat a second to fill remotely full. I questioned paying €11 for aubergine parmigiana that was smaller than a deck of cards.

09/04/2026: Vincenzo and Gabriela, as always, coming to you is an absolutely wonderful experience. Food made with love and top-quality ingredients to enjoy authentic Sicilian cuisine ❤️

10/09/2025: We stumbled upon this restaurant for lunch. It's a beautiful location, literally on the seafront. The dishes, however, aren't particularly exciting. The cherry tomato, eggplant, and swordfish starter was good.

29/08/2025: The staff were incredibly kind; we were treated exceptionally well and treated to delicious seafood. The quality-price ratio was unbeatable.

28/01/2026: If it weren't for the €5 they stole... the prices on the menu probably don't match those on the bill. I'll keep my eyes peeled when I return to Syracuse. You can't trust them!

01/11/2025: We had lunch here. It was delicious and they even gave us a small complimentary dessert. Great! 😊

07/06/2026: Service times too long, food ok

20/04/2026: A lovely homely restaurant near Alcantara. Delicious food. I loved the salmon pasta.

08/06/2026: Everything was delicious, we'll be back soon... Daniele was very nice 😉

08/06/2026: Amazing horse meat and fast, fun service. The staff were all friendly, smiling, and welcoming. Daniele made our dinner unforgettable! Thank you so much.

15/04/2026: Ate here 3 nights ago. I had the fresh tagliatelle with ragu which was very tasty and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. I paired it with a glass of red wine that was recommended by the server and it didn’t disappoint. The decor is very tasteful and the bar stocks a wide variety of drinks for cocktails etc. Antonio who looked after me, was friendly, chatty and very personable. Overall a very pleasant experience.

02/03/2026: Nice food and atmosphere. Good service

10/11/2025: The place is small but welcoming, and the staff are friendly and professional. The pasta with creamed peas and guanciale and the braised beef ravioli are delicious.

03/10/2025: Kindness and gastronomic mastery
