I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Sicilia

23/09/2025: We were sitting on the beach in front of the restaurant. The smell of food made us hungry. I then found cozze (mussels) on the menu. The portion was a generous €15. I've never tasted better. Slightly spicy, with garlic, tomato, and white wine. Coperto was €1.50. The cozze is a dream. Good service with a sea view. Moretti draft beer is too expensive at €6 (0.4l).

22/09/2025: Lack of transparency... a well-kept beach in an excellent location... but what we consumers cannot and will not forgive is the lack of transparency and the unclear information regarding prices for admission, sunbeds, umbrellas, etc.

21/10/2025: For me, the island of Stromboli is incredibly interesting. Swimming on the pleasant black sand in the warm sea (early October) with the volcano in the background made a strong impression on me. The town of Stromboli is unique, with narrow, walled streets, along which Piaggio tricycles travel at high speeds – both for goods and passengers. The lack of cars is a charm. From the volcano's viewpoint (290 meters above sea level), you can also catch a beautiful sunset.

30/09/2025: Absolutely enchanting and romantic location. The food was okay, but the location is included in the price, so expect to pay a lot more than in Sicily.

08/09/2025: Excellent, exceptional sandwich Thank you

15/08/2025: Very nice staff, delicious Panini and plenty of outdoor seating, even with suncovers. They just speak little English, but are willing to use online translators if they dont understand you. Overall a very authentic Italian experience.

06/01/2026: Great bar that serves excellent coffee ☕️ but the aperitifs, accompanied by various appetizers, are also excellent. The staff and owner are perfect. Well done!

06/10/2025: Friendly staff. Excellent food and service. I'll stop by Rizzo every time I return to Messina.

16/03/2026: 5 stars!!! Very beautiful and welcoming place!! The staff were courteous, friendly, and very professional. The music was very pleasant, and the location was very strategic. We had a wonderful meal, and the cocktails were expertly crafted!

22/02/2026: A place NOT to return to. When they say: "all talk and no action." When you're interested in "stealing" people's money, without caring about the customers. It's unthinkable that from 9:30 PM to 11:00 PM dinner still wasn't served, that dishes intended for other tables were brought out three times, that despite several joking requests, at 11:00 PM you still haven't let me eat. The owners/managers were also sitting at the table next to ours. The least you could do was get up and figure out what was going on, or maybe offer them a snack to pass the time, or a drink, or whatever. Instead, there were just waiters who didn't know... At which point, feeling rather annoyed, I told them they could cancel my order and that I didn't intend to pay for what I'd drunk, because that was no way to run a restaurant. "He" (I don't know if he was the owner or the owner's husband...) heard me say that the place was awful and that I wouldn't be back, and that I'd be writing bad reviews. I moved closer to the musicians, at which point he got up and started arguing with my friends, who hadn't said anything, but given the tone and arrogance with which this rude guy addressed the ladies, my friend's husband had to intervene. In short, since instead of apologizing and finding a solution, they also wanted to be accountable and right, they decided to leave. My friend wanted to pay for what we had drunk, but the lady didn't want to: at least she tried to make amends. The only polite person who apologized was the guy who brought the drinks, but I told him he had nothing to do with it, but that wasn't how you run a place. Obviously, I won't set foot in there again, and I advise anyone against it, because there are so many places to eat in Palermo, and the warm welcome that the world envies us was certainly unknown to these people. Besides, we're not talking about a little place with tables in the middle of the street, but a place that should be of a certain level (obviously only aesthetically), given the prices and the limited selection of wines by the glass and beers.

16/11/2025: The food was good, not great. Considering quality, the prices were high. BUT, let me tell you about the music. It was BAD! Some AI generated songs from a music service called StoryBeats. Awful! The kind of generic soft pop that I'm sure will play in hell. But the nature of the music wasn't the worst part. There were four songs that played in a non-stop loop! I heard Echoes in the Fireplace and When Spring Remembers You three times each! If you have any musical taste at all, and value your sanity, avoid la Risacca.

31/10/2025: Very kind and polite staff, delicious food, beautiful location. Recommended.

08/03/2026: Excellent pizza, recommended for those in Acireale!

05/03/2026: Good pizza, but the place is too crowded and noisy.

01/11/2025: Hardly any Germans. Lots of Italian families. Clear water and a beautiful view of the Aeolian Islands.

19/10/2025: A very colorful and delicious place! Super staff! 10/10!

22/02/2026: Very nice place with attention to detail. Very friendly staff. We tried both raw and cooked fish, and the quality of the food was very high. There's also a wide selection of bottled wines. The price is reasonable for the quality. Recommended.

08/02/2026: Business dinner. Lovely place and excellent food. Must try.

07/02/2026: Exceptional value for money, a family atmosphere, and friendly staff. I'll return every time I visit Catania.

15/01/2026: Extremely fresh fish, traditional Catania cuisine. A typical trattoria with good service.

01/10/2025: I stayed at this campsite and had a wonderful time! The prefabricated cabins are truly charming, meticulously designed and equipped with everything you need to feel right at home. A welcoming and functional environment, perfect for both a short stay and a longer vacation. The staff was extremely kind and always available, ready to meet every need with a smile. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for relaxation, comfort, and a pleasant atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

30/09/2025: Lovely and comfortable place, the tiny house has everything you need! Very friendly staff. Recommended

07/10/2025: Excellent gluten-free pizza and cannoli

05/10/2025: Very friendly service, average food

06/09/2025: Excellent pizza, friendly, kind, and professional staff, excellent service, and praiseworthy reviews. I highly recommend it, especially because it's in a fantastic location.

04/11/2025: A disappointing evening in every way. I had high expectations, but I left feeling bitter (and hungry). The dishes were bland and the portions tiny, especially considering the truly exorbitant prices. All of this contributed to a frustrating experience. The service was slow and inattentive: we waited interminably between courses without anyone bothering to check if everything was okay. In short: absurd prices, a terrible gastronomic experience. For the same amount of money, I could have eaten incredibly fresh fish elsewhere. Absolutely not recommended.

03/11/2025: I can't believe how exceptionally excellent everything about our experience was dining here. This is by far the best restaurant in the region! The food, wine and service is truly outstanding. We loved it so much we returned three times and when we come back we won't go anywhere else! The carbonara was delicious, the seafood was fresh and amazing and even the bruschetta was the best we have ever had. 😁 What made it most was the service, everyone was so friendly to us and the owner is the best person! We had an amazing time and would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking to have the best food and service. Grazie mille!!❤️

15/03/2026: Typical, authentic. The food is very good and fresh.

07/03/2026: Now I understand why Montalbano always returned there ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I admit I almost chose another place. A recent review had me hesitant: someone had complained about the Sicilian red prawns being "too small," the Sicilian ricotta and local cured meats being rated worse than those in the supermarket, and—the icing on the cake—the garbage truck driving by. Reading it, I thought: either this person has never set foot in Sicily, or they simply don't know what they're eating. I decided to take a chance. I was right. The fish was disarmingly fresh—you could taste the sea on your plate, the real thing, not the tame stuff from tourist restaurants. The red prawns? Small, yes, as they should be. The typical products—ricotta, cured meats—were exactly what you come to Sicily for: authentic, local, impossible to find on the supermarket shelf. Vincenzo, owner and chef, cooks with a passion that shines through in every dish. His wife and children serve: a family that manages the dining room with warmth and true professionalism. And then I discovered that Luca Zingaretti, during the filming of Inspector Montalbano, was also a regular here. After that dinner, I understood perfectly why. Some places aren't chosen by chance. I'll be back.
