Fantastic dining experience. The host couldn't be more helpful going above and beyond to explain the menu. Even took time to explain the Sicilian Gins on offer (Piazza Bologini was tasty). The food was incredible some of the best we have ever had. We had the Rigatoni Al Rustico and the Pesto Spaghetti with swordfish every bite was unreal! Reservation required as its always fully booked. 100% a must visit while in Cefalu. ????????

This was a lovely dining experience in Cefalù. Our party of four came on a Sunday evening with a 7:30 PM reservation we made earlier that day. We arrived and were promptly seated. Davide was incredibly gracious and helpful. One of the folks in our party is vegetarian and he helped us out with some swaps to make some dishes vegetarian. He walked us through the specials and the wine options as well as some questions we had about some menu items. The food we had was all incredibly flavorful and we enjoyed each dish. The standouts were the chicken liver, Sicilian stuffed meat rolls, rigatoni al rustico, and the spaghetti with pesto & swordfish. The rabbit also came recommended from our hotel concierge, but there were too many good options to pass up! Highly recommend coming here and worth making a reservation as it is a very popular spot with all of the locals as well!

Where as I will admit the pictures don't look amazing, don't be fooled! This is some of the best food I have ever eaten in all my times visiting scicily, and Italy. The restaurant itself is fantastic, and has a great art deco feel, with some great items to look at while you dine. It is a family run restaurant, and the vibe is fantastic! The pasta dish ( with a gorgonzola sauce), is hands down the tastiest pasta dish I have ever eaten! Complimenti Great place for great dining, or a special date night - don't miss this place!

The best dinner we had in Cefalu. The owner of the place is an amazing guy. He helped us a lot to pick the dishes. We ordered a carpaccio as a starter was really good. My wife had meatballs that was also good but exceptional dish was definitely the rabbit. Attached. This meat was one of the best one that i had in my life! Thank you for everything

Can’t recommend this enough. Best dinner in Cefalu by far. Would have returned if had another dinner. Need a reservation as there are only about 12 tables. Waiter was helpful and friendly. Sicilian appetizer was great. Rigatoni is the best pasta I’ve had anywhere. Rabbit was good also. Fresh tiramisu for dessert. Spectacular experience.

The best meal I have enjoyed on my trip so far. Three courses and a carafe of house wine cost €40. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. Really cool vibe. The waiter / host was top class. You definitely need to reserve a day or two in advance - more than worth it!
