This is a stylish modern space with warm service and great food. We went for the 3 course &euro;60 menu ( you can just choose from the main menu), everything including amuse boucle and pre-dessert was inventive and delicious.  We&#39;re not wild about the &#39;log in to WiFi scan QR code &#39; for the menu but fortunately they actually take your orders and you pay in person, not all done online. What&#39;s wrong with proper menus?! A great experience nevertheless.

My party and I had an exceptional meal&mdash;flawlessly executed dishes and an amazing staff. Thank you!We will definitely be back.

This is a really high class restaurant. The food is fabulous and inventive and the service engaging and....fun! I spoke with the chef afterwards and he&#39;s massively committed and enthusiastic. One starter didn&#39;t quite sit with me. A raw fish dish that I was expecting to taste salty had a tang of vanilla..... But that&#39;s personal taste.Truly memorable and maybe, just maybe the best restaurant ever....

The waiters are so friendly. We got the Amuse-Bouche twice because we loved it so much! Quality of food and atmosphere top! Happily paying 28&euro; for the cutlery at a table of 7! Would definitely come back!

If you want a meal that leaves you bursting at the seams this is probably not the restaurant for you; if you want to try inventive and delicious dishes, based around local ingredients, it most certainly is. We had the 3 course dinner which took in for starters shrimp and mozzarella and marinated amberjack; for mains shrimp and pistachio bisque and linguine with octopus before finishing off with creamy chocolate and tomato and basil (really). All were a flavourful treat with superb choices of ingredients, making it our best meal in Cefalu so far, washed down with a fine house white wine and a Messina beer. Enjoy.

Excellent 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&hellip;fish and seafood. Excellent pasta followed and the dessert. Many thanks for a wonderful evening. Highly recommended.

Imaginative 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.

The food with matching wine nd initial service was good, but after we finished main course it was like we finished existing, no question about desert, coffee etc. Finally we left.

We 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&rsquo;d be happy to go back.

The 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&rsquo;s a charge for a service that&rsquo;s not being offered.

After 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.
