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.

04/10/2025: Really nice and cozy neighborhood restaurant. Good food and very price worthy 👌

21/09/2025: Hotel near the beach, elegant and clean. Family-run, home-cooked food. I can't find any flaws.

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.

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

29/05/2026: The service was great, the menu is in Polish, the food is great, the seafood is fresh

29/05/2026: The atmosphere is wonderful, as is the service. And the food is delicious! I highly recommend it ❤️

20/05/2026: Friendly and professional. A lovely evening with perfect dishes. Congratulations on your hospitality and deliciousness. We'll be back. For steak lovers... a work of art! 😄☝️

19/05/2026: The restaurant is decent. The food is okay. However, the owner offers you a bruschetta while you wait for your meal, without giving you a choice. He then charges you €2 per person for it! There's no wine list, so you have no idea about the prices. The owner is far from pleasant. We do not recommend this establishment.

03/08/2025: Semplicemente eccezionale! Personale gentile, disponibile e con molta cura nei confronti del cliente, che dimostrano in ogni piccolo dettaglio. Io sono un'amante della pizza e qui ho mangiato la pizza più buona della mia vita! Alta, biscottata fuori e morbida dentro. Lievitata perfettamente, cosa che si può vedere dalle bolle sul bordo che restano vuote (come il pane). Saporita, ma non salata, gustosa e altamente digeribile, nonostante il lievito mi crei qualche problema, questa pizza non mi ha gonfiata affatto. Ci ritornerò sicuramente, già solo lei vale tutto il viaggio!

31/07/2025: La mejor pizza que he probado. Gran ambiente! La pizza Spitfire es simplemente deliciosa. Muy Italiano - más local que turístico (lo que le dice IT es bueno) . Precios turísticos no

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.

30/09/2025: Today is Tuesday, and the entrance says "Closed Monday"! There are no other opening hours listed online either. A walk of over a kilometer is in vain!

30/09/2025: Apparently the restaurant doesn't need to update its opening hours online, and then customers find themselves standing in front of a closed door even though it's supposed to be open.

08/02/2026: The nightclub has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The music was good, and the DJ kept the beat going until late. Drink service was fast, and the waitresses were very professional and friendly. Parking could be more convenient. Overall, Villa Barile is a decent choice for a night out, but it's not top-notch. If you're looking for a place to dance and have fun, it might be a good option.

30/12/2025: I had the pleasure of attending an event at Villa Barile, and the experience was flawless. The property is a true architectural gem that dominates the landscape of Nissa, offering a timeless atmosphere that makes every celebration unique. The gardens are meticulously maintained, and the interior rooms retain a rare historical charm. The service matched the venue's prestige: the staff was professional, discreet, and attentive to the guests' needs. The food, deeply rooted in tradition yet with a modern twist, delighted everyone in attendance. Highly recommended for those seeking exclusivity and beauty.

20/04/2026: Excellent location for events, especially birthdays. Recommended!

14/03/2026: Very good restaurant, rustic and genuine cuisine, good macaroni with black pork sauce and mutton

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 ❤️

09/04/2026: As always, thank you so much for your kindness and your magnificent dishes. Gabriela and Vincenzo, we can't wait to return the favor. Hugs and kisses, Maido and Juan. 😘😘

03/05/2026: The best coffee in the city, there is vegetarian milk.

02/05/2026: Excellence in service and quality!!! Highly recommended!!!

30/04/2026: Poor value for money and forget about the toilets.

21/04/2026: Incorrect information. Closed, at least until Monday, April 20th.

10/06/2026: I gave it two stars out of generosity. There are better options out there, and definitely less expensive.

05/06/2026: We stayed at this campsite where we had a great time...from one night we stayed for 4...the managers are wonderful and make you feel at home...clean campsite...clean facilities...and pitches by the sea with enchanting sunsets...we will return
