Restaurants cuisine du monde Sicily

Beyond the plate, which is remarkable here, one appreciates above all the inner courtyard full of palm trees and plants of this restaurant. A place where you can dine quietly in the coolness at lunchtime and in the evening. The jazzy music contributes greatly to the relaxed atmosphere here. The interior room is also finely decorated, the dishes are delicate and the kitchen is decorated in the same spirit. The penne al pesto are succulent, as are the tiramisù or the granita alla mandorla. We heartily recommend this restaurant.

A friendly Sicilian family offers simple, tasty home cooking and excellent pizzas at modest prices. Try the delicious parmigiana (fried eggplant, tomato and mozzarella in the oven), the polpette (meatballs with vegetables and tomato sauce) or the home-made cannoli and tiramisù. A very pleasant terrace will welcome you with a surprising view on the bay of Taormina and on Etna. A very warm welcome, you would think you were in a family or even at the theatre, as the members of the family are real characters!

A rustic place inside and magical outside since you can eat on the terrace, in front of the beautiful cathedral of Cefalu: you can't find a better view. The terrace is often crowded, and for good reason! All summer long, a piano is installed there and the artist who plays there every day comes back to the great classics of Italian music. We enjoy this acoustic musical atmosphere. On the plate, we recommend the house speciality: the fish carpaccio (a real delight).

In this small air-conditioned restaurant, rich in colors and atmosphere with its beautiful stone vaults and red walls, one sits down willingly to spend a good culinary moment at an affordable price. The menu is limited but effective, we like the concept of the chosen menus: meat or fish, declined according to the season and the local ingredients, as the rabbit in the oven, the home-made tournedos or theinvoltini of swordfish, a delight. The recipes are simple but tasty, that's the main thing. The wine list is also very Sicilian and harmonizes the tastes.

Within the Hotel Sicilia, this restaurant, which has existed since 1960, is an institution. It has a large and bright room. Of course, the cuisine is Sicilian, served copiously. We recommend the "earthy" menu, with meats from the island's interior that change from the fish dishes of the coast, including the unmistakable house specialty: wild boar chops from the Nebrodi Mountains, in a red wine sauce. We like the piano bar atmosphere here, which changes restaurants without a musical atmosphere. Good wine list, terrace and even garden.

A family trattoria with a rustic atmosphere serving refined Sicilian cuisine, this is what you are looking for on holiday to discover the local specialities! On the menu, a wide buffet of home-made antipasti that allows you to taste a little bit of everything and dishes around seafood and fresh fish of the day. The dishes are of quality, the service and the welcome are extremely pleasant, but above all the quantities are gargantuan, especially the pasta dishes, prepared to perfection and generous in ingredients. A good address.

An address made especially for lovers of good pizza. Its success is such that many Palermitans don't hesitate to line up for dinner. The pizzas, served generously, are really delicious and one understands the craze for the place. The thin dough is soft and crunchy at the same time, the mozzarella and the cold cuts are Sicilian. In addition to the perfect cooking, the service and above all the owner's welcome are very pleasant. We also like the white tables and colourful chairs of the restaurant.

In a simple and sober setting (varnished panelling on the walls and tablecloths with plasticized tiles), you can meet a clientele of regulars, attracted by low prices and the quality Sicilian popular cuisine as found in the pots of the island's mammals. The menu is rich in seafood products. You can also eat a very good dish of Sardinian pasta con (with sardines) or small sardine paupiettes with sweet and sour sauce(polpette di sarde in agrodolce) for a few euros. The address is almost a hundred years old and the service is cordial. Picturesque.

A very good address with a very large terrace overlooking the sea. The map is rich in local specialities (mainly fish). Ideal for a romantic and chic dinner at sunset.

In a modern decor, this place offers a tasty and creative cuisine. The address is also a wine bar. The lower floor features comfortable benches ideal for an evening drink, while the upper areas are perfect for a chic dinner. On the menu, copious squash and pistachio risotto, trilogy of tuna, grilled fish, squid stuffed with olives and capers, fillet of beef with green pepper or pork fillet with almonds? : a selection of products handled with inventiveness. Attentive welcome and reasonable prices.

The Razmataz spreads its beautiful shady terrace in the historic centre of Catania. Very lively in the evening when the latter is taken by storm ataperitivo time, this place is a wine bar appreciated for its trendy bistro atmosphere, its simple but tasty cuisine and its low prices. Try the copious red wine risotto! The desserts are just as enticing as the dishes. It is also a good address to discover the local wines or sip a good cocktail. The service is a bit rushed, but that's understandable given the crowds in high season.

Nice osteria where good Sicilian dishes are served around fish, but also panelle, arancini, local antipasti. Lots of fried fish à la carte, don't miss the frittura mista di pesce : a mix of fried prawns, squid and other fried octopus, a delight! The pasta with squid ink, sardines or pesto and shrimps is also worth the fork. Recipes of authentic accuracy, with a strong taste. The terrace is appreciable but the service is a little long. Come early because the restaurant is very busy.

A gastronomic institution of the brothers Andrea and Alberto Rizzo, where the dishes are particularly refined. A true delight for gourmets, to whom we can only recommend the vanilla fried lobster on a pine nut sauce with candied ginger and red pepper mousse . For the record, scenes of the Cheetah were filmed next to the restaurant. A very top-of-the-range table, where the addition is salty. There is also a dizzying wine list, with many Sicilian wines. The setting is intimate, under stone vaults.

A classy table, with elegant white tablecloths and dishes with a refined aesthetic, without being stilted in the heart of the Kalsa. The plates are spectacular. Typical Sicilian cuisine revisited, to discover the Palermo flavours in particular, raw or cooked. Fish fillet in sweet and sour honey sauce with red onions, raisins and dried apricots, or a carpaccio of scottona, a meat from a heifer of the best Italian breed, renowned for its tenderness, marinated in lemon-lime with mushrooms and plums.

Located in the historic centre of Modica, almost opposite the Teatro Garibaldi, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city. The attention is focused on quality raw materials and respect for Sicilian culinary traditions, flavours of yesteryear that can only be found in the pots and pans of the nonna. The rabbit alla stimpirata with carrots, celery, garlic, capers, mint, olives, fries, vinegar and white wine will long be remembered. And the room is just like the plate, a rustic-retro setting with chequered tablecloths.

It is located in the heart of the tourist centre of Monreale, in the main square in front of the Duomo. Moreover the view is wonderful to admire its architectural beauty. But it is not a tourist attraction. It serves a wide choice of honest and cheap pizzas, which even Sicilians themselves come to eat here. For a quick and tasty lunch break. And no matter what time of day you linger in the cathedral, here the service is continuous.

Below Piazza Duomo, in the heart of a small fish market where fishmongers sometimes sing bel canto. The chef also tells you the dishes "by voice"! Typical Sicilian cuisine with seafood specialities. This restaurant enjoys a good reputation. The terrace is next to the fish stalls. Very picturesque. Best to book in high season. Of course the fish is extremely fresh. The antipasti are worth the detour. The house has also created its own brand of delicatessen that promotes local products.

Simple, friendly, tasty and cheap. In the high season, the restaurant is open every day non-stop. The house is run by a family. Everyone pitches in, and it works! The cuisine is that of Sicilian grandmothers. Try the risotto with fish from the day's catch, or a famous fish fry, delicious. The pasta is also appetizing. The reception is very friendly, the owner will always have a little story to tell you, and in French please. The terrace overlooks the port.

This is a very reputable institution and frequented by the young people of the city, because the pizzas are gargantuan, delicious and inexpensive. The perfect address for broke travelers who want to eat on a tight budget. Good lasagne in the oven and above all excellent pizzas made over a wood fire, the house speciality. Warm welcome. The popularity of the address makes booking more than necessary, or plan to order take-out to devour your pizza on a picnic in the city.

According to the locals, it is one of the best trattorias in Cefalù. In fact, the restaurant is always full and it is better to make a reservation, especially for dinner. The setting is rather chic, just like the plate. The octopus salad with asparagus sauce as a starter, the plate of "crudi", seafood in carpaccio and tartar, will whet your appetite. The fresh pasta is marvellous, well prepared, and the swordfish rolls succulent. We love the attentive service and the Sicilian family atmosphere.

The house has been in existence since 1877, that's saying something! In an authentic décor of an old 19th century wine press, this restaurant offers traditional seasonal cuisine. Specialty risotto, meat such as Nebrodi pork or game; here, everything is homemade and Antonella will often surprise you with pleasant culinary attentions. The risotto with pistachio or the caponata with bitter chocolate are worth a visit. A good address at low prices.

Castello Cameni is the hotel restaurant of the same name. Sicilian cuisine of local and seasonal cuisine with Italian and international influences. Fish and game specialities not to be missed, including the Fameux black pig. Sausages and homemade cheeses such as the ricotta di Vizzini (molle cheese) or ennese ennese (saffron cheese). Among Chef Anna Sinagra's specialities, we will note his paccheri to calamari and cherry tomatoes on eggplant cream, his thousand-sheet to swordfish and tomatoes, capers and olives, or his black chocolate cake 70% and conference pears topped with hazelnut foam. The wine list is of quality.

This grocery store of local gastronomic products turns into a lunchtime restaurant as the market closes. You can then let yourself be tempted by all the specialities on display, each one more tempting than the next. And you don't even need to know how to speak Italian: you just point and you're tempted! The assortment ofantipasti is delicious, all accompanied by a good wine. Cheese boards with pistachios and jams or cold cuts are also recommended.

It is the restaurant of the Eremo della Giubiliana - a 5-star Relais & Chateaux hotel - run by the chef Giorgio Ruggeri. It offers a revisited cuisine of territory inspired by the aristocratic tradition of the Iblean highlands. The result of research into the original products of this region and their quality, this cuisine is in the image of its setting: refined, full of history and evolving. The menu is varied, the chef works admirably with meat and fish. Impeccable service, sumptuous setting. Cooking school. Wine cellar.

A restaurant, a brasserie type very close to the sea. Good service and excellent dishes. Ideal for quick snacks or pizza.

Here is an address a little far from the hustle and bustle of the main street and therefore less touristy, and that's good! With a micro-terrace, and its small room always well filled, this trattoria offers plates of local and delicious fish such as busiate (fresh pasta from Trapani) with clams and mussels or squid ink, the traditional fish couscous which here is sprinkled with saffron, very successful, or the stuffed squid. An unpretentious good address where it is good to make a reservation in view of the few tables available.

It is one of the best restaurants on the island, not to say the best. The restaurant serves good traditional local food, stuffed calamari and Sicilian macaroni. The redfish tartar served with the fish on the plate is delicious. The presentation is that of an international fusion cuisine, with little crunchy treats that spice up the dishes. The white setting is very classy, the terrace is furnished with benches decorated with cushions. And what spoils nothing, the view on the neighbouring islands is superb.

Located a little before Ortigia, here is a brand new establishment, managed by Fred and Fiora in the kitchen. The super star of the menu here is the pizza! The restaurant regularly wins contests because it pays special attention to the levitation of the dough. And you can find it in all its forms: tasting pizzas with spontaneously fermented dough, wholemeal pizza, or with organic Sicilian flour, the choice is already original. The toppings are also original because here the pizza can be broken down into small toasts. An original concept!

A small address known to the locals, hidden in a recess near Piazza Cutteli. A large room and a small patio-like courtyard nearby allow you to enjoy delicious pizzas cooked over a wood fire. The house's signature pizzas are particularly original, such as the Santa Daniela, which is particularly good, with mozzarella, philadelphia, tomatoes à la carrettiera, speck and pistachio kernels. You can also order take-away to eat in a park. Friendly service, fresh and well prepared products.

Enjoy excellent cuisine on a shaded terrace. Very good restaurant from the antipasti to the tasty and refreshing granite. You are advised to book.

This café-bar-restaurant enjoys an exceptional location, opposite the mill that houses the Marsala Salt Museum. What a pretty picturesque setting with small piles of salt lined up as a backdrop! The terrace is pleasantly furnished with comfortable wrought iron armchairs and pretty pastel blue wooden chairs. There is also the possibility to pick up various snacks or have a real feast. A tip, taste the grilled cuttlefish with its lemon filet and the famous busiate alla trapanese. A real treat. A must for tourists.

One of the best restaurants in Messina, very Sicilian, simple, with 3 small comfortable and well decorated rooms. Excellent address. Think of reserving and planning your best clothes for the occasion. Chic ambience!

You can't visit the island without meeting this colourful, charismatic and multilingual character, who prepares a delicious cuisine inspired by his many trips and stays in India. Maurizio is as tasty as his food! From the aperitif alla Maurizio to the house biscuits dipped in Malvasia, not forgetting the spaghetti with windmill, perfetto! The smile as a bonus. Very pleasant garden at the end of the day. Reservation essential. We appreciate that the service, the bread and the tableware are included in the menu.

The undeniable strong point of his restaurant is none other than his terrace with a view of the sea and the Valley of the Temples. These places are also popular, you will have to reserve them. Local dishes are served here, cooked with local ingredients, and the tourist menu of culinary discovery (made with seriousness) is delicious. The house exists since... 1919, as much to say that it knows the recipes of Sicilian grandmothers! Very extensive wine list. No tourist attractions here: the cuisine is copious and tasty, the service is warm.

It's an institution in Marsala. This is the^third generation of pastry chefs since founder Benedetto De Gaetano, who opened his shop specialising in Sicilian confectionery and artisanal ice cream in the 1900s. Today it's an excellent address for the hungry and the budget-conscious. On the pastry side, you will find the great classics of Sicilian desserts: cassata, cannoli? The shop window is made up of a thousand little sweets. The choice will be Cornelian.

It is in a magnificent establishment dug into the rock that the young starred chef Vincenzo Candiano operates for a high-flying local and seafood cuisine, since the table has one star in the Michelin guide. Among the specialities, we can mention the yellowfin tuna on "caponata de Modica", the rabbit stuffed with Bronte pistachios and bacon, a kill, or the mackerel terrine with courgette leaves and dried tomatoes. There is no better place in Ragusa Ibla to discover the local and Sicilian gastronomy.

A tourist address and a great place to stay. You come here to sit on a terrace directly on the seafront, very close to the cathedral and the Kasbah of Mazaro. In spite of the world on the terrace, the service is fast and courteous. In the plate, very good fish couscous, specialty of the region, as well as spaghetti with sea urchins. The pizzas are excellent too. Some are seafood (mussels and clams) for those who would like to try this strange combination. Good value for money for all the dishes. An unpretentious address.

Address recommended by the locals. Nice restaurant of traditional cuisine, where the busiati , the typical pasta of Trapani, is excellent. It also serves fish couscous, another great specialty of the region. The spaghetti al nero di seppia (with cuttlefish ink) is a must try for seafood lovers. Served a little cold, however. One appreciates its micro-terrace which also allows to taste the popular atmosphere of the district.

This family and living trattoria is typically catanaise and serves popular fish and seafood specialties, especially: fried rolls, caponatina, parmigiana, not forgetting the essential pasta at Norma. The kitchen is practically made in the room and is very good. It is a popular address by the people of the neighborhood, so it is highly recommended to book.

Nice restaurant with a nice terrace overlooking the sea and offering a magnificent view on the bay. We already like this setting for a good lunch or dinner. Of course, with such a proximity to the elements, we expect fresh and tasty fish specialities and grilled shellfish. And we were not disappointed! We loved the traditional spaghetti with clams and zucchini, but also the demonic scialatelliwith red prawns from Mazara (in Sicily), and even more the local almond parfait.

On a beautiful terrace facing the port, this renowned restaurant serves fish specialties, of course. But the style is more fusion, integrating local ingredients, such as raw swordfish marinated with lemon (from Sicily) and mint or tuna bricks with Malvasia wine (the wine of the Aeolian Islands). The local wine is also drunk in bottles... To have the privilege of sitting here and not to miss one of the best dinners on the island, reservations are highly recommended.

This small restaurant with its comfortable and elegant chairs, hanging green plants, wall-mounted enoteca and pretty crockery is chic. Yet the prices are reasonable, so don't deprive yourself! The octopus carpaccio was divine, as was the Trapani style busiate pasta, handmade with nuts, Sicilian pesto and red shrimp. The flavours are very well balanced. For dessert the Sicilian cannoli and cassate are particularly good.

Better known as "Dal dottore" (at the doctor's), this restaurant is a landmark for Palermitans who have been coming here for over 120 years to enjoy a healing meal. During the smallpox epidemic of 1910-11, it was broth (brodo) that warmed hearts, now it is fish starters and primi of all kinds that gourmets come here to order, not forgetting meat. A typical Sicilian restaurant where fish and seafood - especially sea bass and prawns - are excellent. A good dinner guaranteed!

Just a stone's throw from the Teatro Politeama and (another more recent reference!) opposite the new Disney department store in Palermo, this address is a historic institution. The house exists since 1826! It is certainly the best place to taste the tastiest cuties in Palermo. And all the other Sicilian specialties to eat on the go: arancini, krapfen (fritters), timballi (stewed pasta timbale)... Also a wide selection of sodas and traditional drinks made in Sicily. A stopover is a must during a stay in Palermo.

In the Garibaldi Theatre Square, there is a restaurant offering hearty antipasti and good pizzas in the evening. The restaurant is also open for lunch, but the heat in the square is unbearable. So it is better to eat indoors. You will then discover the two huge red curtains that decorate the room like a theatre stage. The setting and the plates are rustic, but that's exactly what you come here for, the authenticity of Sicilian family dishes.

It is the restaurant of the eponymous hotel. Adelaide's cuisine is renowned throughout Italy. She creates her own recipes and collaborates with numerous gastronomic magazines. Her specialities include tuna and fennel lasagne, baked macaroni with aubergine and ricotta, swordfish kebabs with lemon leaves and, last but not least, figs in cream sauce. The bread is also home-made. Finally the setting is pleasant, the tables are arranged in a shady garden around a small fountain. The establishment is also a charming hotel.

This restaurant exists since 1995, it is a reference in Castellammare. Its very famous antipasti are to be tasted without moderation. The house proposes almost exclusively delicious grilled fish dishes but also seafood pasta. Normal when you know that the chef used to be a fisherman and that he knows how to choose his ingredients on the market! Don't miss the famous busiate pasta of Trapani, for which this restaurant has found a unique artisanal extruder, and grilled octopus, perfectly mastered. Terrace in summer.

Pizzeria close to the castle square and enjoying a magnificent view of the sea from its pretty terrace. The products used are of quality, the flour is organic and local. A good address for the amateurs of real light and tasty pizzas. The welcome is particularly warm. We recommend the tuna and onion, tomato and mozzarella pizza, or the samaritana, with tuna eggs and mozzarella di bufala, to stay in the Castellammare theme. Also a good choice of vegetarian options.

In this traditional restaurant "the prince and the pirate", a beautiful terrace faces the sea to breathe the good sea air while admiring the sunset. Local specialties are prepared with fresh products, fish and seafood from the day's fishing. Starting with the couscous alla pantesca drizzled with local wine. Do not hesitate to ask the owner's advice, very pleasant by the way, to choose your plates. A beautiful address.

This is the restaurant of the luxury boutique hotel of the same name. It offers refined Sicilian and international cuisine under the direction of chef Giovanni Santoro. Imagine a veal cut with a Sicilian cheese fondue and juniper berries from Etna, all smoked with pine needles, homemade spaghetti with braised hare, asparagus salad and black truffle, pan-fried beef with onions, mustard and orange honey... The wine list is extensive and offers a selection of exclusive Etna wines to discover.
