I migliori ristorantinella città Cefalù della Palermo

23/08/2025: We looked for places in Cefalù through the Michelin Guide, they were all full except this one, and we understood why! The dishes were bland, but the worst thing of all was the service, very slow, even though there were only 4 people in total, and also never a smile and total listlessness on the part of the waiters. Absolutely not up to the standard of the Michelin Guide.

09/08/2025: A slightly critical five stars. There are some real strengths here, but it's not a perfect experience either. We tried five dishes (two starter, two pastas, one main) and the pastas were by far the strongest element. I feel like (non-Italians, at least) are constantly chasing elusive highs when it comes to pasta, where the textures and richness just come together into completely satisfying mouthfuls. Both pasta dishes we tried achieved this in different ways, for me the spaghetti was the standout. Both were elevated but not a huge departure from tradition (nor, sadly, huge portions - I could have eaten five times as much and been taken home strapped on the back of a vespa). The main was solid - grilled squid, came together nicely with the chickpea miso and other elements. I think you could probably do more with squid this good, but it's a strong dish. Oh I'll also mention the bread here - whoever is in the kitchen really gets their carbs, they're making absolutely fantastic bread as well as pasta. Where I was more skeptical was the starters. This should be the space where the kitchen is having the most fun - smaller portions and the fact that if someone doesn't like it, you have multiple courses to make them still leave happy means that you can really push the envelope if you want to. But here, the envelope remained pretty unpushed. The raw shrimp with citrus was fine, but only fine - fun presentation (I honestly thought they were baby carrots at first) but ultimately not more than the sum of its parts. The grilled onion was in theory more interesting - taking typical Sicilian ingredients and adding umami sources - but in the end there was nothing hugely unexpected about the taste and textures and you're just kind of sitting there thinking "damn, I just paid more than 20 euro for an onion". The price/quality ratio just isn't quite there for the starters - honestly just order an extra pasta for the same price. The question of fun is also important because while the service was professional and attentive, the vibe is currently dour. This is the height of the tourist season, and the restaurant is mostly empty in a Friday night, and the staff know it. That sucks, and they deserve better tbh - there is much worse food for not that much less to be found in crowded restaurants all over town. But this year at least, people are willing to pay for sea views over better food. Lastly, the wine was very good, and accommodating of ordering by the glass. Not the biggest cellar in town, but if you like your wines more natural or offbeat it's a well curated list. Overall, I'd recommend Qualia - but it probably needs to reinvent itself soon. I'd go back tonight if they agreed to sell me a bigger proportion of pasta and a glass or two of well-sourced wine, and honestly that feels more like the restaurant Cefalù needs.

16/06/2025: Mister Yogi (Carmelo) is such a nice genuine guy. Crepes and Gelato (and other desserts) with a huge smile. Absolutely a must stop when visiting Cefalu!!

09/06/2025: I know in the land of gelato it seems ridiculous to rave about frozen yoghurt but that’s exactly what I’m about to do! Mister Yoggi has the best frozen yoghurt I’ve ever had! It’s extremely well priced- 4 euros for a grande. The service is exceptional! Although we’ve only had the frozen yoghurt (which we ordered an obscene amount of times during our stay in Cefalu) they also have bubble waffles, crepes, pancakes, granita and gelato. All of which look delicious. When ordering the yoghurt you can choose between 3 sizes and then choose 2 sauces (one for the bottom of the cup and one for on top of the yoghurt) as well as a topping. The pistachio sauce is to die for and an absolutely must try!

27/07/2025: Très beau décor et accueil chaleureux. Plats typiques et délicieux. Cuisine traditionnelle à ne pas rater. Nous avons également apprécié la musique qui apporte une belle ambiance.

04/07/2025: Visitamos este restaurante para una agradable cena el sábado por la noche. El restaurante estaba lleno, pero llamamos para hacer una reserva. La comida es un poco más cara que en otros lugares pero vale la pena, todos los platos estaban excepcionalmente sabrosos y claramente bien planificados. El personal hablaba muy bien inglés lo que ayudó a explicar las especialidades, también fueron atentos con el servicio. En general, recomendaría al 100% una visita aquí.

21/08/2025: Excellent food, very kind staff and very helpful even with small gestures.

15/08/2025: Inspired by the excellent reviews, I came to try this focacceria, and what can I say? I was honestly a little disappointed. I tried the panino cunzato, and for €4, I honestly expected a slightly larger sandwich. And when I asked my friend from Palermo to try it, he confirmed that it was okay, but nothing more. Of course, I don't question the quality of the ingredients, because the bread was good, and even the pieces of rotisserie I saw on display were beautiful. Regarding the service, I find it really rude to show a clear preference for local customers and less attention to tourists. The price is the same. And even being rude, as happened to me (for no reason, by the way), isn't good publicity.

04/08/2025: PERFECT- Great food and service. Beautiful view of the Duomo, even a pianist to entertain us. The Spaghetti Vongole was the best I have had in Sicily.

03/08/2025: Delicious food in a beautiful location, for a great price. When we placed our order, the server advised us not to overorder. The portions were indeed generous. Live background music from an excellent pianist, and fast and friendly service.

25/08/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, good food, and a very friendly owner. Recommended ☺️👍🏼 (From Neapolitans)

23/08/2025: Really nice original drinks. We enjoyed the søl, passionfruit/maracuja spritz and the popcorn cocktail but will def go back to try more.

20/07/2025: Very good, very nice and great service, very tasty food, well prepared as befits a restaurant of its category.

19/07/2025: If you are looking for a reasonably priced Michelin-worthy restaurant, this is a good choice. If you are expecting the quality of a starred restaurant, you may be a little disappointed, but overall, in Cefalu, where prices are high, this is a satisfactory level.

17/07/2025: Locale carino ed accogliente sia per la sala interna che per i tavoli all'esterno. Personale cortese ed alla mano, menù molto vario con una gran varietà di cibi sfiziosi. Consiglio l'aperitoast, piatto ricchissimo do varietà di sfiziosita' con aperitivo alcolico a scelta ad un prezzo veramente irrisorio. Da uno a 10,consiglio 11!

17/07/2025: Adoro il locale si mangia benissimo, personale eccezionale Salvo e Lina sono meravigliosi, consigliabilissimo sia da soli o in famiglia.

14/08/2025: Seven of us had lunch, adults and children, and we were served excellently. The staff is professional and knowledgeable, and we saw a true Sicilian passion for traditional products and fine local wine. I recommend it if you're looking for a good, traditional yet sophisticated meal.

14/08/2025: Alessandro, you're young, but if culture and passion can be conveyed through a gastronomic message, thank you for helping us understand the essence of your dishes. Studied and thoughtfully crafted to savor the local area. With pride and love. Make a note and come visit.

01/07/2025: too expansive actually. 21 euros for tartare di tonno (tuna tartar)? 24 euros for mixed seafood spaghetti??And the pawn i think is not fresh.. Although the waiter is nice, but thats too much...

30/06/2025: Very nice place located in the center of Cefalù, we had dinner with two first courses and two glasses of local wine, welcomed very well by the owner who is in the dining room and his son who is in the kitchen. Very fresh raw materials and excellent value for money for being in Cefalù.

06/08/2025: Great server and great service. Friendly atmosphere, attentive to customers. We highly recommend this pub. Go there with your eyes closed 🍻

05/08/2025: A lovely place in the center of Cefalù, but the sandwich was a real dilemma. The rich and flavorful interior was a symphony of fresh, beautifully paired flavors. But the bread... well, the bread was rock! Hard, almost untamable, it made every bite a challenge. A bizarre contrast that left a bitter taste in the mouth, because if the bread had lived up to its precious contents, we would have had a masterpiece.

10/07/2025: Very good pizza 10 out of 10! Delicious and fresh🤍

10/07/2025: This pizzeria is perfectly located near the beach – ideal for grabbing a pizza to go. The quality is excellent: perfect dough, fresh ingredients, and very fair prices. Service is quick and friendly. Highly recommended for a tasty beachside meal!

15/06/2025: Spectacular trattoria with a terrace overlooking the sea. Tasting the appetizer and spaghetti with clams, I felt the flavors of the foods my grandmother used to cook. Wow, what a thrill. Almost rare to find a place so authentic in the Cefalù area! 🌹

09/06/2025: Very friendly. We were given a child seat right away. Excellent seafood spaghetti and a fantastic fish platter. One of our best dinners in Sicily. A dream sundowner on the way to Cefalu.

09/08/2025: Nice place, clean and welcoming. The staff is very kind and friendly. The food is beyond reproach... SPECTACULAR.

09/08/2025: nice place, kind waiters and excellent food

14/08/2025: A lovely setting with paintings and soft lighting that create a lovely atmosphere. The attentive and attentive service, and the friendly and helpful staff make you feel truly pampered. The dishes are delicious, with excellent quality ingredients and an excellent value.

14/08/2025: A wonderful discovery! A romantic dinner, the menu was so tempting that we returned the next day to try other dishes. The decor was clean and bright, making it a very pleasant place to spend a pleasant time. Delicious dishes, superb presentation! We were very well received by the managers. And a special mention goes to Florly and Pasquale, two attentive, smiling, and very professional servers. It's so rare! Take care of them! A big thank you; we'll be back, I promise!
