Breakfast
Restaurant
Our cuisine is based on traditional Sicilian recipes passed down from generation to generation, which preserve the genuineness and taste of the past. This is also thanks to the careful selection of local and top-quality ingredients. Our dishes are prepared exclusively using products from the "short chain", that is, products from our own farm or food purchased directly from local farmers. This ensures freshness, quality, and seasonal products. The aromas and flavors of our cuisine are enhanced by the refinement of the extra-virgin olive oil produced in Sicily - ORGANIC. Typical Sicilian cured meats, wild boar, pecorino cheese with jams and honey.
Fresh pasta made strictly by hand. The restaurant is the ideal reference point for those who want to taste typical Sicilian dishes in a warm and welcoming environment. The use of selected ingredients for the preparation of ancient recipes allows this typical trattoria to offer customers a strong taste experience and to fully appreciate the characteristic flavors of the Sicilian region. Contact the restaurant for more information and to book your table in advance. A healthy and authentic eating experience, as our culinary tradition demands.
The cuisine of the farm offers guests typical menus of the Sicilian tradition, with the aim of reviving ancient flavors. Many of the vegetables served to guests are organically grown in our own garden. Dinner, a moment of aggregation and conviviality, takes place in the cozy dining room in winter and in the fresh air on the terrace in summer.

Great place to relax. Great location between the sea and the volcano. Great quality of food in terms of variety and portions. I want to return as soon as possible, not just for a weekend.
