Top 5 Specialty Food in Sicilia

Via Salvatore Spinuzza, 33, 90139 Palermo PA, Italy

“A delicious lunch in Palermo. We had Pasta Alla Norma and another tomato based pasta which were both excellent. The salted ricotta on the Pasta Alla Norma was beautiful. We also really enjoyed the sardine meatballs. We don’t get fish based meatballs in Australia so it was a really nice change to try local sardines that way. The tomato sauce that the sardine meatballs were cooked in was also delicious. The team here were friendly, courteous and just really pleasant. A great spot for a meal”

Piazza Europa, 7, 91014 Castellammare del Golfo TP, Italy

“Incredibly tasty pizza. They have a huge menu and the ingredients are fresh and genuine. You can tell every pizza has been made with love and the ingredients had bene sorted carefully to bring the best flavours to your pizza experience. We came here with my family and each of us got a different pizza - and they were all excellent. The staff is incredibly kind and they accommodate all our requests and dietary requirements. We always come here when we are in Castellammare del Golfo cos it’s just a great (and tasty) experience each time! Highly recommended 😀”

Via Francesco Petrarca, 30/35, 92100 Agrigento AG, Italy

“Outstanding restaurant. We arrived here from the Valley of the Temples without a reservation on a Sunday. The Matrede found us a small table and was extremely helpful and friendly. The food was amazing and the best food I've eaten in Sicily, I had the Pork rib and my partner had a Carbonara. I then had the chocolate cake with ice-cream for desert and this may just be the best desert I've ever eaten. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough but please book in advance. The entrance isn't the old petrol station it is just down the road about 5m through a beautiful Mediterranean garden.”

Via Penninello, 41, 95124 Catania CT, Italy

“Nice place to eat. Great service and good food 🥘 We ordered all the starters, please don’t do that. All the starters were good, but all of them were deep fried and with cheese 🧀 so extremely heavy. But we thought we due it anyway 😎 Then we ordered a steak 🥩 and then we were not able to eat anything else. I highly recommend this place 🙏”

Via Umberto I, 69/71, 95129 Catania CT, Italy

“Some of the best sicilian pastry in town. Had the best arancini with ragu. And the host that runs the Cafe is warm and welcoming, smiling and interacting with the customers. Felt like home and also wanted to try out the entire range of pastries. Prices are also very good. I would come back there each time I'd have the opportunity to be in Catania.”

Via Giuseppe Alessi, 40/42, 90143 Palermo PA, Italy

Via Pietro Antonio Coppola, 42, 95131 Catania CT, Italy

“Great pizza 🍕 Will definitely visit again to try another when I am back in Catania. Very easy to locate and the staff were all very helpful. It can get very busy so I suggest booking but they stay open late, we arrived earlier than our booking time and they managed to find a table for us so we didn’t have to wait! Menus are also available in English for anyone who does not know Italian. The margherita was lush and the dessert was also very good 😊”

Via Bagnoli Croci, 32, 98039 Taormina ME, Italy

“Decent food, but nothing special stood out. The tartare lacked flavor, but the pastas were great and the lamb chops were awesome. Seems quite touristy, so beware.”

Via Circuito, 98164 Torre Faro ME, Italy

“From the phone booking to the actual dinner it was undoubtedly a superb experience. Service is very attentive and not intrusive. Extensive and very well selected wine list; the sommelier was at hand with knowledge and advice. Idyllic setting facing Mainland Italy, the Strait of Messina and the sound of the waves lapping against the shore. Dreamy! Food was well presented and every course had the freshest ingredients. Special requests were met with discretion and no hesitation; the chef was very understanding and accommodating. Thank you. It will be on our map for future reference. Well done 👏”

“Lovely dinner! Cod fish, pasta and pizza were excellent 💯 Lamb was a little tough but the other food were so yummy. We enjoyed this meal very much :)”

Via dei Cassari, 41/43, 90133 Palermo PA, Italy

“Food was pretty nice but definitely didn’t justify the price point for me (over double what we’ve normally been paying in Italy). Starter of tuna sashimi was the definite highlight. Service was not great with very long waiting times for orders to be taken. They seemed understaffed so might have just been a bit unlucky. A nice experience but I wouldn’t say you’re missing out if you don’t make it here during your stay in Palermo.”

Via Cardinale Dusmet, 21, 95121 Catania CT, Italy

“We went for dinner and got pizzas and I personally got the burger (no bun) with potatoes. The pizzas looked really good. Neapolitan style, fresh and colourful ingredients. The service was quick and quite good. Recommended for a quiet dinner just outside the city walls near duomo.”
