The best restaurants Nicolosi

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.

The traditional cuisine typical of the region is honoured in this restaurant nestled in a historic building in the heart of Nicolosi at reasonable prices. The menu is rich, with for example a platter of local antipasti: homemade olives, dried tomatoes, panzanella, fresh sheep's ricotta, caponata, parmigiana, pieces of fried tuma (cheese), orange salad and omelettes with seasonal vegetables... as well as good red wine from the Etna hillsides. The owner will be happy to help you with your choice. Music concerts sometimes on Saturday evening.

An 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.
