TERRA & MARE
Read moreHere you can enjoy organic and gluten-free, but above all delicious pizzas. There are also fish and seafood pizzas on the menu... Strange combination found in the Terra & Marre signature pizza: smoked salmon, shrimps, cream of asparagus and sundried tomatoes. If you're looking for less confusing experiments, try the Burrata pizza, with mozzarella and a ball of burrata certainly, but also bacon, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and pistachios, or the Radicchio: mozzarella, chicory, porcini mushrooms, bresaola and balsamic vinegar.
IL BAROCCO
Read moreWe love the frame with its large vaulted and very lively room. Long pizza card and local specialities. Try the ricotta ravioli alla or the broccoli cavati. Excellent wine cellar. The small terrace is very pleasant and more intimate than the room. Counsel: book!
LA BETTOLA
Read moreThe house has existed since 1979. Good value for money and good value for money. The boss speaks French.
LA BETTOLA RESTAURANT
Read moreA restaurant appreciated by the natives and even an institution: the house has existed since 1972! The plates are elegant. Excellent homemade pasta dishes, fish and seafood to the fore, especially the famous red Mazzaro prawns, famous all over the island, served with a slice of grapefruit or the famous seafood couscous, generous in seafood. As a bonus: succulent desserts, carefully selected wine list with a beautiful range of island wines... One of the best addresses in the city and even in the region.
'NNI LAUSTA
Read moreBeyond its high quality Mediterranean cuisine served in a nice indoor garden, it is the nightlife of local youth. The deco is awesome! Cocktails and concerts animate the evenings. Only 50 meters from the port. Very good street address honestly gastronomic. Too bad the reception is a little cold.
SAN GIORGIO E IL DRAGO
Read moreWell situated in the heart of the medieval village, this old tavern offers a pleasant welcome for tasting local specialities such as hot antipasti or rabbit alla Paolina (capers, tomatoes, olives, onions, white wine). The great speciality is beef, which is available in various recipes. We recommend the slices of beef on a bed of rocket with local cheese and a green pepper and rosemary sauce. The restaurant also offers an interesting vegetarian menu. Very nice wine list. Friendly service. Not to be missed.
ANTICA FILANDA
Read moreRecognized as the best restaurant in Sicily in 2013, Antica Filanda has nothing to prove with its @ chefs. And yet it never stops innovating on your plate or on the order with menus on tactile shelves.
RISTORANTE MANNA
Read moreProbably one of the best tables in Noto. The setting is classy and stylish, the lighting perfect, the atmosphere trendy, especially with the architect lamps screwed to the bar. Sicilian ingredients are celebrated here in the form of an inventive cuisine composed according to seasonal and market products. The menu is constantly renewed so that the regulars don't get tired of it. The creativity of the dishes both in taste and presentation is a marvel. A beautiful palette of flavours of modern gastronomic Sicily.
ANTICO ORTO DEI LIMONI
Read moreAn old lemon press from the last century, converted into a restaurant with a charming decor. You are immediately impressed by the size of the press and its massive wooden beams. The restaurant serves traditional local cuisine, including fresh pasta and mushroom specialities, which are a real treat. Lemon is a favourite ingredient of course! The prices remain affordable, especially the unique evening menu. Here we like simplicity and family recipes. Ideal for a hearty dinner after an excursion on Etna.
RISTORANTE IL GALEONE
Read moreThis restaurant, located in the heart of Lipari next to the harbour, offers a typical, seasonal, simple, fresh and high quality cuisine. Among the culinary specialties of the Aeolian Islands, you will find antipasti della casa, involtini di pesce (fish rolls) or totani ripieni (stuffed squid). Their pizzas are among the best on the island. Specialities: Tavoletta (three types of pizza in one) and Cannolo (cannolo-shaped) pizzas. There is no lack of choice and the welcome is very friendly. A sure value!
RISTORANTE CENTRALE DI PIRRERA
Read moreA family restaurant in the heart of the old town. The table offers six menus of local cuisine (Proserpina, Ennese, vegetarian, central, fish, etc.), some of which include an excellent antipasti buffet, perfect for a taste of everything! We recommend the maccarruna alla castrugiuannisa, an ancient dish prepared with a sweet pork and cocoa sauce called "u'sciabbò". Beautiful interior room with high ceilings and a small terrace to refresh yourself. Pleasant welcome.
AL TRAMONTO
Read moreWhen you come to lose yourself in Acquacalda for lunch or dinner, you are looking for the exceptional in the setting as well as in the plate. This is what this quiet restaurant, located on the outskirts of Lipari, promises you, with a sublime panorama. The sea and the volcanic rock set the scene in front of the tables. Its menu suggests a wide variety of fresh products from the waters of Lipari... and only from the waters of Lipari. It's so much easier to serve yourself on the spot! The swordfish is a delight. Menu only in Italian but the staff is English speaking.
RISTORANTE TYNDARIS
Read moreWe love the spectacular and beautiful panoramic view of Lake Martinelli from this restaurant. Go there for lunch to make the most of the incredible panorama that the terrace offers. The food is good and generous. Special mention for the pizza alla Norma, an adaptation of the eponymous Sicilian pasta recipe (with tomato sauce, fried eggplant, grated salted ricotta and basil), for the famous seafood risotto and penne a la Tyndaris, or the orecchiette with prawns and pistachios.
RUGA REALI
Read moreThis osteria makes a very refined Sicilian cuisine, presented in pretty dishes in a cosy setting. It is a very popular place for its organic recipes, revisited in an original way. We recommend the fish couscous of the house. If you are curious, you can taste the specialities of Agrigento with tomato and cheese pasta (your taste buds will never thank you enough). Don't forget to book in high season, as this famous restaurant is often sold out. The three young managers manage in French.
RISTORANTE CENTRO STORICO
Read moreIn this rustic family restaurant, Giuseppe Cali prepares delicious local dishes such as pasta with sardines. Bruschetta topped with local products will be offered to you upon arrival and the hostess will guide you to choose from a rich menu. For dessert, don't miss the pistachio cake with its scoop of vanilla ice cream. A moment of pure delight!
LA TAVERNETTA DEI BRIGANTI
Read moreDon't be fooled by the name of the establishment and dare to enter this small restaurant with a somewhat rustic and intimate setting. You won't be disappointed! At Anna's, we eat the good dishes that she passionately concocts, following family home-made recipes, and which are brought by the very kind Salvatore. Here everything is of quality, the quantities are generous and the prices are really reasonable. Try the pasta alla norma or the antipasti tray, excellent!
IL PIPINO ROSSO
Read moreThis bar-restaurant is located in an alleyway between via Roma and via Maqueda. The welcome is warm and the cuisine is of high quality. Not to be missed for a thrifty lunch in the historic centre. The Bocconcini Belpaese, bacon rolled on a ball of melting mozzarella, are devilish. The tagliatelle of the house, with lobster bisque and a stracciatella hat, are original and delicious. All this for a more than reasonable addition. Do not hesitate to ask for a table on the pleasant terrace.
MARINA GOURMET RESTAURANT
Read moreThe hotel restaurant of the same name. The service and presentation are impeccable, worthy of the large tables, the wine list is varied and the kitchen oscillates between typical dishes and other influences of Mediterranean and international influences. A wide choice of fish and home desserts.
LA PIAZZETTA
Read moreIn a vaulted stone room or on a large terrace, enjoy a good choice of pizzas, bruschettas, salads, panini... The terrace is very pleasant. The place is often sold out because of the democratic prices and the gargantuan quantities. Pasta and bread are prepared in the basement. We advise you the plate of localantipasti (focaccia, local forms, caponata and ricotta), the pistachio ravioli, excellentissimo! And for dessert, the homemade sweetness accompanied by cinnamon with a small glass of almond liqueur...
LA BOTTE
Read moreThis restaurant exists since 1972. This Botte is located just in front of the famous Bam Bar where you can have an aperitif before a table becomes available. You can also approach the problem the other way around: go and have dessert at the Bam Bar after the pizza at the Botte. In any case, this is one of the very touristy addresses. Yes, it's crowded, but it's good and the service is friendly. The terrace under its arbour and its trees is full of charm. However, the cuisine has been very disappointing for a few years.
GROTTA AZZURRA
Read moreThe kitchen is in the dining room under your eyes. Very good atmosphere and excellent address for fish (fresh and weight according to your wishes). It is also advisable to book festive days! The boss is very supportive.
ROSSOPEPERONCINO

Try the spaghetti cà muddica (anchovies, breadcrumbs), the penne Donna Lola (tomatoes, zucchini, salted ricotta), the spaghetti turiddù (capers, anchovies, tomato filet, breadcrumbs). Or the orange salad, the tuna cà cipudolata (with red onions), the suckling pig fillet with spicy sauce, etc. Add a charming welcome and a quality wine list to enjoy a nice portion of Sicilian culture. Pleasant terrace.
L’ANTICA OSTERIA
Read moreThe hotel is a good place to stay. The specialty of the house is pizza: they are worth the detour here! A good address.
TRATTORIA AI GECHI
Read moreThis restaurant is a little difficult to find and is located on the large terrace of a hidden house on the immediate heights of the village. You have to go up via Roma, and turn off into a small path indicated. The terrace is in fact sheltered under a roof held up by pretty columns. On the menu, "slow food" dishes, prepared with the most local, organic and natural meats, vegetables and fruits possible. The seafood salad as a starter, the homemade swordfish and eggplant pasta with tomato and fresh mint and the tuna tartare were delicious.
