Restaurants cuisine régionale Sicily

Here the aesthetics are perfect, both on the plate and in the decor. This restaurant at the entrance to the Valley of the Temples has a chic, vintage and graphic setting: from the lighting fixtures to the floor ceramics and the wall china cabinet, every detail has been thought out. The terrace offers a beautiful view of the countryside, the sea and the temples. Inspiring and invigorating à la carte: swordfish carpaccio with orange sauce, ravioli with eggplant and basil pesto, pistachios and parmesan, or red scorpion fish faggots with prawns. Let's eat!

You'll come back to it like a boomerang. This restaurant, known as a secret well preserved by the locals, offers a unique menu every evening at a fixed price, including antipasti, a variety of dishes, a dessert, a coffee and even a pitcher of wine. And what dishes! Here we only come out with a full belly and a short breath. It is impossible not to finish these red mullets, or this octopus salad, or these squids, the most melt-in-the-mouth squids ever tasted. An overbid of fish and seafood dishes prepared in the local style, that of the fishermen's houses of Selinunte. A great experience but try to fast a little before!

Where to have lunch or dinner in the tourist streets of Syracuse? Many tourist attractions and other addresses, certainly touristy, but tasty, authentic and copious! The antipasti buffet is exquisite, the pasta with sumptuous clams, as well as the fritto misto with mini red mullet and sea urchin bruschetta, the pleasant service, the perfect micro-terrace, the taste of Sicilian family restaurant cuisine in the dishes.

There is unanimous agreement on this address! The name of this restaurant refers to a poem by Baudelaire. In a street of Ortygie, near the sea, Salvo in the kitchen and Saro in the dining room offer Sicilian and French dishes. Tournedos Rossini, tuna with caramelized onions, lean fillet with pesto, eggplant mille-feuille, tuna carpaccio, red mullet fillet with basil... It's all tempting. Two terraces in the heart of Ortygie. Numerous Sicilian and French wines. Homemade desserts (e.g. panna cotta with basil infusion and a touch of chocolate), regular evenings.

Let's talk about the setting first: outside, tables under romantic trees lit by candles. Inside: climbing plants and pretty lamps under high ceilings. Finally, the plate: the menu is also different from the usual, everything here is prepared with local or organic ingredients, depending on the season's products. Tasty and creative dishes, which are recommended as a change from traditional Sicilian specialities. Because here they are revisited according to healthy and balanced recipes, but also vegetarian and vegan.

This is a great place to stop for lunch. Como Como offers beautiful salads, puccia (traditional rolls topped with original and local products, homemade drinks (made with Sicilian lemon for lemonade) for a reasonable price. In addition, there is a terrace at the gates of the main street and a relaxed service.

Like any self-respecting Sicilian city, Trapani has small street food stalls to eat island specialties on the go. Look no further, here is the best place to taste the famous Sicilian arancini! This rotisserie is ideal for a quick bite to eat for just a few euros and serves several different kinds. Those with speck and pistachios have proved to be delicious. Ideal for a picnic before taking a boat.

This pizzeria is unmistakable on a square of the Belvedere and the church of San Giovanni, with its terrace that extends its arms to you. It is full of hungry tourists who have stopped under the parasols. Open every day almost every hour, it has the merit of offering simple pizzas, but some too watery, too bad!

The elaborate menu promises delicious dishes but the quantities are not there for seafood (the grilled octopus on its potato cream was microscopic) and the pasta lacks taste. Too bad because the terrace is beautiful, the design of the dishes worked, but at this price it is not enough.

Here, no tourists, but a rather deafening Sicilian noise level because the restaurant room, quite large with a part in green terrace, is filled every evening with locals. For those with sensitive eardrums, there is a terrace. The pizza oven is running at full speed and the choice is quite wide. Fine and crunchy dough, abundant toppings, local atmosphere, speed and friendliness of the waiters, contained prices, everything is there! Special mention for the Pizza San Domenico: tomato, mozzarella flower of milk, roasted cooked ham, artichoke and basil.

This restaurant spreads out its terrace on a small square away from view. Beautiful wooden tables are scattered throughout the space and a sweet smell of Italian films from the 1990s sets the mood. A delicious antipasti buffet is served at a low price. The menu is typical, fresh and tasty, with a lot of meat and fish offered simply grilled at low prices. This is the signature of this house: simplicity and taste above all, worked according to family recipes. The Catania pasta with swordfish caponata are little marvels.

On the seafront of Giardini Naxos, this is one of the restaurants where you can enjoy dishes meticulously prepared with noble ingredients, in copious quantities for a price within the standards of the seaside resort. The steamed sea bass is extraordinary, the prawns with pistachio, the swordfish alla griglia, the tuna Sicilian style with caramelized onions, the linguine with prawns and for dessert the panna cotta are highly recommended. Don't forget to book your table, as the address is very popular with the locals.

A great lover of regional cuisine, Angelo has worked in several Sicilian restaurants, after several experiences abroad. He decided to share with the general public his love for his land and local produce. Its vocation is to introduce dishes from the Sicilian tradition, from the "tavola calda" to more elaborate dishes, at a reasonable price. This young restaurateur with a smile to his ears will warmly welcome you in Italian and French (he speaks very well)! It is a very beautiful address that we recommend for an afternoon in town!

This restaurant serves homemade food in the pure Sicilian tradition in a setting renovated in 2020. Too bad, we liked the 60's atmosphere with its speckled tile floor and rustic wooden chairs and the food seemed better before. Now it's all white modern furniture! No matter, here happiness is in the plate. For starters, think of the triptych of octopus salad, sardine balls in sweet and sour sauce and swordfish caponata. Then spaghetti with squid ink and the famous fish couscous.

Terrible privilege: in this new restaurant we have a view of the sea, especially from the terrace shaded by palm trees, because the place is on a pontoon surrounded by water, a little happiness. But the address is also worth a visit for the plate and the decoration. Colourful, cosy sofas and well laid out tables whet your appetite. You can simply have an aperitif and share a delicious gourmet pizza in front of the sunset or opt for a more consistent, but also more expensive dish because here you pay for the view, the style and the novelty.

The address is touristy, no doubt, just in front of the Norman palace. But the food is delicious, the prices are standard and the terrace is very pleasant, with the view on the building and the garden. In antipasto: octopus à la grecque fondant, in primo piato homemade seafood ravioli (prawns, mussels, fish, squid) followed by a fillet of swordfish with black truffle, divine. Passing through an ancient porch you will also find a room inside the restaurant, air-conditioned and a lifesaver during the hot summer days.

Don't be fooled by its name, it's not just a wine bar. When you pass the well stocked plates, you stop! The Cuban chef at this unpretentious address draws inspiration from the seasons to create creative dishes with an exotic touch. A bistronomy cuisine for gourmets. On the slate, at reasonable prices, dishes with lots of greenery, fresh fruit, fish and seafood cooked to perfection or in generous tartars. The wines are of course excellent and the waiters are smiling, efficient and friendly.
