1. 22 Cucina Isolana

£34Reservation AvailableSeafood

TheForkUserThis is a stylish modern space with warm service and great food. We went for the 3 course €60 menu ( you can just choose from the main menu), everything including amuse boucle and pre-dessert was inventive and delicious. We're not wild about the 'log in to WiFi scan QR code ' for the menu but fortunately they actually take your orders and you pay in person, not all done online. What's wrong with proper menus?! A great experience nevertheless.

2. Porta Terra Ristorante

£10Reservation AvailableWestern-styleOpen Late

TheForkUserExcellent and comfortable terrace. The first staff member was extremely knowledgeable on Sicilian wines and a terrific discussion ensued on wine selection. The three apps we shared to start our meal were beautifully presented and were super fresh…fish and seafood. Excellent pasta followed and the dessert. Many thanks for a wonderful evening. Highly recommended.

3. Cortile Pepe

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserImaginative and beautifully presented dishes, attentive and friendly service. We dined early evening (so British) so the restaurant was quiet and lacked atmosphere, however a memorable meal none the less.

4. Il Normanno

£26Western-style

TheForkUserGood, honest local food, served in a generous portion sizes, which tips this area over from 4 stars to 5, as it was also at a very reasonable price. Service was fast, informative and cheerful. Ambience, was fine, but very hot inside, when we visited.

5. La Siciliana

Reservation AvailableWestern-styleOpen Late

TheForkUserWe went on a cold rainy night so could not make use of their lovely front terrace. The restaurant inside is simple and pleasant and the service is friendly and warm. Their menu is typical but our dishes were all delicious. A great bitter negroni! We’d be happy to go back.

6. Passafiume Cantina Bistrot

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserThe location is lovely ; right next to the Cathedral overlooking the town . We had the daily set menu and it was great value ; fresh and tasty and with a glass of wine ! Our server was really friendly also . I’d definitely return and recommend to anyone in Cefalu .

7. Tivitti

Reservation AvailableBars/Bistros

TheForkUserThe Pizza was amazing, not a coincidence that almost everyone at the bottega was having one as well. Incredible crust and dough, crispy on the outside yet chewy inside and excellent fresh local produce for the topping 10/10. As it is a bottega, there was a lot of noise and some parties around us behaving less than cordial - Ok for a night out to watch a football game, less so if going for dinner together and expecting to have a conversation without needing to speak out loud. Copper to was charged without offering bread or anything else, which might be a cultural difference, but comes across a bit deceitful as it’s a charge for a service that’s not being offered.

8. La Botte

TheForkUserThis is a great find! The food was excellent and the service was attentive and lovely! We sat outside on a lovely night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

9. Al Porticciolo

TheForkUserHad the an amazing table directly facing ocean crashing over the rocks. Definitely appreciate booking through the Fork and getting this table. Food was outstanding, and value for the quality of food was incredible. Great choice if your in Cefalu!

10. Tentazioni Mediterranee

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserAfter seeing the reviews we jumped at the chance to book. The welcome was unusual as it seemed like a seated outside member of the public telling us to sit down at any free table.The other thing, which I am putting down to different culture, is service without a smile or image of not wanting to be there. What I will say is the quality of product and outside area in a beautiful street is a combination that with a friendly welcoming and a smile now and again will complete the experience. I wish you all the success. Amazing cheese and cold meat platter.

11. Il Carretto

Western-styleOpen Late

TheForkUserRestaurant in an alley that leads to the cathedral of Cefalù. Fine cuisine and very kind staff. They prepared swordfish Messina style without garlic for intolerance and excellent seafood salad

12. - Winery & Putia

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserSuper tasty food in a great location at Winery and Putia in Cefalù. The menu offers a wonderful selection of traditional Sicilian dishes, all prepared with authentic ingredients that truly capture the essence of the region. The pizza is really good, with a nicely balanced crust and flavorful toppings that complement the overall dining experience. The owner is friendly and local, adding a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. The service is perfect, with attentive staff who ensure that your dining experience is smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're craving classic Sicilian cuisine or just a great pizza, Winery and Putia is definitely worth a visit.

13. Tatiana Melfa Bakery (Cefalù)

TheForkUserThe taste of pizza is a personal thing… I really liked this one. Neapolitan-style dough, but slightly crispier. I went for dinner in the low season and the kitchen was closed, so only pizza… too bad I would have liked to try something else

14. Vallegrande ristorante La Quercia

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserThe restaurant name was given to me by someone who I knew loves good food. I brought my brother as he was in Sicily visiting me. We are Irish and love our beef, while he liked Italian food I knew he was missing a good steak. We had such a lovely experience with lovely lovely waiters and the food was outstanding, my brother said it was the best beef he had ever had. So any excuse to go again and I will!

15. Mas Que Nada

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserEverything was just right. Friendly welcome and servicen delightful food presented very well, good wine recommendation, pleasant setting and ambience.

17. Duomo Gelatieri dal 1952

£2Western-styleOpen Late

摆渡修行This old ice cream shop is located in front of the Cathedral of Cefalu, with a great location. The ice cream is just average. Huzi ordered two flavors of ice cream sandwiches. The hazelnut one is more fragrant, and the pistachio flavor is too light, with a mellow texture. 2.5 euros/ice cream sandwich. If you want to talk about ice cream shops loved by locals in Cefalu, L’Angolo delle Dolcezze is one, but it is not in the old town. You will pass by it on the way to the train station. I checked in when I went to Cefalu for the first time with my friends. I wanted to check it again this time, but when I ran to the door of the store, I found that the store was closed for a few days.

20. A Cantunera

TheForkUserFound this restaurant through TripAdvisor and was not disappointed. Our group of 4 are on a sailboat so no need for a water view. With not much time and most top restaurants fully booked, we were happy to get a reservation.Friendly staff, Italian/ English on the menu, local wine, great value, family run with mama as the chef, linens at the table and great background music appropriate for the experience. We had mussels and grilled octopus appetizers, pasta with eggplant, pasta with seafood, and two fish entrees, all delicious. Happy to experience a real local place, not a tourist trap. The menu was small but the variety was perfect. On TripAdvisor the price point is incorrect. It was printed with $$$$, I sent a correction and I hope it gets changed to $$.
