I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Sicilia

04/11/2025: Absolutely avoid this place, it's a tourist trap!!! What a rip-off at the end of our trip to Sicily! We were with friends and ordered four Spritz cocktails with a large plate of grilled fish as an appetizer! We had this dish several times during our week in Sicily (we usually budgeted 15 to 20 Euros each time). What a nasty surprise to find that this dish for four cost 80 Euros!! What a disgrace!! After this bad experience, we checked the reviews, which are all too common.

04/11/2025: A beautiful Sicilian trattoria with insanely delicious seafood and a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The owner is very helpful, serving, greeting, and bidding farewell to guests himself.

13/08/2025: The location doesn't match the actual location of the restaurant. When we called to ask for directions, the lady told us they'd moved, assuming we (tourists) should know by some well-informed science. "I thought you knew!" How is anyone's guess? We ordered mussel soup and two mixed grills with a side salad: the mussel soup was really good, while the grills were absolutely not worth the price; the salad was a tiny plate and cost €5. We then ordered two sorbets, served in little plastic cups and also costing €5 each. We paid practically the price of a full menu despite not ordering pasta and only having one appetizer, for two people it came to €92.

06/08/2025: Siamo stati i primi clienti nella nuova location, nella Valle dei Templi, e si percepiva chiaramente che il locale non fosse ancora pronto per l’apertura: mancavano i menù cartacei e c’erano ancora tecnici al lavoro. Ci vengono proposte a voce tre opzioni di menù: uno di carne e due di pesce, rispettivamente a 30 e 45 euro. Chiediamo informazioni sul menù di pesce da 30 euro e ci viene spiegato che comprende un primo, un secondo, un contorno e un sorbetto. Tuttavia, il primo piatto previsto non conteneva pesce, e per avere un vero primo di pesce abbiamo dovuto aggiungere 4 euro per persona. Nel complesso, il menù ci è sembrato pensato più per turisti, sia per qualità che per quantità.

11/11/2025: The restaurant is run by an Italian and a Polish woman (both serving customers). The menu is in Polish. It's tucked away in a quiet area. It's quiet and peaceful. Plenty of tables. The food is delicious, just like in Italy. I highly recommend it.

10/11/2025: The ambiance is wonderful, located in a dreamy area, very close to the Greek Theatre of Taormina, and across from the small Church of San Domenico. The atmosphere is very welcoming; there are always musicians wandering around the restaurants, adding a vibrant touch to the dining experience. I enjoyed the food; I tried three dishes: eggplant parmigiana, pasta with shrimp, and grilled clams. My favorite was the grilled clams.

15/11/2025: On the other side of the world, traveling through Sicily, we had lunch in a heavenly place! Fresh ingredients, excellently prepared... we were very satisfied, a place we'll definitely return to!

13/11/2025: I've never had such delicious grilled tuna with pistachios! The risotto was also delicious. The view is fantastic and the staff is very friendly.

23/10/2025: Top restaurant/pizzeria for quality and service.

15/10/2025: Excellent cuisine Pleasant setting Friendly staff I recommend it without hesitation.

19/07/2025: Bel locale con piatti molto curati e ottima qualità del cibo. Pesce freschissimo. Buon rapporto qualita/ prezzo. Lo consiglio

19/07/2025: Un bel ristorante, camerieri veloci e cordiali. Mangiato bene, sia la carne che il pesce. Antipasto di pesce buonissimo, secondo di tonno buono ma purtroppo troppo salato. Ma capita, ci torneremo

24/08/2025: Great place, excellent sandwiches! The only complaint is the paid parking until 1 a.m. It's unfair that those who go to eat have to pay for parking.

24/08/2025: Really good. The sandwiches are 500g each, so I recommend getting one for two people. The sandwiches are made with excellent quality ingredients and are nice and filling. The staff is very young and friendly.

17/09/2025: Extremely good! The price is well worth the quality.

14/09/2025: We had two wonderful evenings there. Excellent fresh fish. Great atmosphere. A very special thank you to the two very friendly and attentive staff, Ignazio and Bilal. Keep up the good work... Derya and Volker

08/11/2025: Excellent, quality service!! The waiter was very good and super helpful!!!

23/10/2025: Very nice view. Average frying. The noise of a wine cellar motor in the dining room really spoils the experience 🙄 A comment to the server doesn't change anything. What a shame!

26/10/2025: A typical seaside restaurant, with a simple yet welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are well-maintained, clean, and tidy; it's not overly detailed, but it's not minimalist either: it conveys a sense of authenticity and familiarity that immediately puts you at ease. The restaurant stands out for the quality of its ingredients, with well-executed, tasty, and well-balanced seafood first courses. The second courses are also excellent, especially the shellfish, carefully cooked and elegantly presented. The service was punctual, friendly, and always available, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The pizza is also worth a mention: light, well-cooked, and made with good-quality ingredients: an added bonus for those seeking an alternative to seafood without sacrificing flavor. The prices are reasonable and perfectly in line with the quality and level of service offered. I highly recommend booking, as the restaurant is very popular, especially on weekends. Kudos to the owners for their management and their evident commitment to maintaining the overall high quality of the experience. A place worth trying and, probably, revisiting.

24/10/2025: The staff is friendly, very attentive, and always ready to serve. This is my third time here, and they never mess up a single dish. The excellent hermit crab appetizer makes you want to cancel your first or second order. Well done.

21/10/2025: I really ate well! And I had a wonderful time, dishes that were simply exquisite, plentiful, and inexpensive for the quantity served on the plate, I highly recommend it, plus the welcome was warm, thank you!

21/10/2025: Arrived late but welcomed with a smile, friendly and attentive waitress Hearty and delicious dishes Fair price... Bravo, we'll be back

18/05/2025: Avevamo l'appuntamento alle 21,30 siamo arrivati in orario ci siamo accomodati,dopo mezz'ora di attesa sono venuti per la comanda,dopo ancora mezz'ora si presenta la cameriera e ci informa che era finito il pomodoro, certo non è stato bello visto che era già l'ora tardi e molti di noi avevamo nella pizza il pomodoro,ma come si può in una pizzeria finire il pomodoro!!!! Abbiamo terminato alle 24,30, brutta esperienza non ci torneremo più!!!!

17/05/2025: Congratulations for everything,

02/09/2025: Fantastic pizza and other Sicilian street food.

07/10/2025: Well...my friends reading this, my expectations were high, in the sense that when they tell you about a gourmet restaurant, you don't just expect a beautiful plating but something more. Punta Lena is a charming restaurant, nothing extraordinary, right on the sea. Perhaps the downside was that when we went for dinner, it was already dark, and we couldn't tell we were right next to the sea. In any case, the dishes were well-cooked, but like pretty much everywhere else in Stromboli. It didn't stand out compared to the rest in terms of food quality. One flaw I absolutely didn't expect was the peppered mussels, which were so salty it tasted like seawater. And we Sicilians know how to cook mussels...when we pointed this out, we were simply told: oh...strange... Anyway, my calamari was good, but it was frozen. Maybe it's because I'm used to eating fresh fish; I can tell right away. The flavor was very good, anyway. That said, I can't give more stars because, guys, it's truly impossible to mess up a Pepata... The prices are truly outrageous for the type of food.

26/09/2025: Decent dishes, very friendly waiter, nice location.

08/10/2025: Great place, excellent food, great service.

02/10/2025: A little expensive (logical given the location) but very good, great setting.
