This restaurant is definitely worth a stop and can highly recommend it! A cute place with a wonderful atmosphere in the heart of the town close to the dome. The food was exceptional from starters to the main dishes. We can recommend the beef croquette and the lamb skewers for starters. We also shared a perfectly cooked Tomahawk steak. The Service was amongst the best we have ever experienced. Incredibly nice and forthcoming. Made recommendations when we needed pointers, allowed us to go to the next door wine cellar to pick out our wine and showed us the beautifully displayed meat selection. All in all, it was a 10/10 experience and we will definitely come back if we’re ever back in Cefalù!

We barely noticed this restaurant as we were walking on the main road, but I’m truly thankful I caught it enough to catch my attention. If you are looking for a great time and fabulous steak and meat this is the place you want to go to. The veal chicks were to die for, the grilled lamb was amazing and at this point I decided I couldn’t leave without trying a steak… cooked to perfection. Great selection of wines but let them choose for you, it wont disappoint. Thank you for the amazing dinner.

All of the reviews which rave about the quality of this restaurant are 100% correct. My wife and I had a fantastic experience here last night. We started with a couple glasses of prosecco and shared Herbed Pork Loin appetizer. It was terrific. Next was the Black Angus Picanha and Swiss Chard (also shared). Maybe the best tasting steak I’ve ever had. Although we did not have a pasta, we saw them at other tables and they looked amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant!

This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had, not only in Sicily but the whole of Italy! The service was absolutely exceptional! Not only are all the servers incredibly friendly but extremely knowledgeable and professional. It was definitely 5 star service! They gave great recommendations for wine as well as what to eat. The outside seating has a lovely atmosphere in a charming alley just on the other side of the duomo. The inside seating is also beautifully decorated! It was a lovely experience to be able to head to their as-they-phrased-it ‘humble’ wine cellar (it’s anything but humble) to choose our bottle of wine. They also have a great selection of wine by the glass, at reasonable prices, if you don’t feel like a bottle. The food is some of the best food we’ve ever had! We had the steak tartare and beef croquette starters (both of which were absolutely delicious) and then shared one of their dry-aged tomahawk steaks which was just to die for! Not only do they have a great selection of meals such as pork belly, ribs, pastas, kebabs etc but you can also select a steak from their dry-aged range which is not on the menu. I generally prefer my steak cooked longer than they allow in most Italian restaurants (I prefer medium to well done and most Italian restaurants only cook steaks to rare or rare to medium) but I could let my steak cook a bit more on the hot plate which was great! It was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten! We had an incredible evening and although we went for quite expensive options, you can also enjoy the experience by choosing the less expensive but equally delicious options such as the pork belly or pastas. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I would also recommend making a reservation which you can easily do on Google.

I have only one 2 words that can describe: Amazing and Exceptional Amazing staff the wine guy and the food guy Amazing sicilian wine, both white and red Amazing picanha stake and also vegetarian pasta Amazing sicilian olive oil and balsamico di Modena (the real deal) Even the tomato salad… this simple thing is often made out of tasteless tomatoes… but not the case here! And… amazing finish with Amaro di Sicilia… their own in house recipe. And all these with amazing prices. Absolutely loved the whole experience. Grazie mille!

Hands down the best steak I’ve ever had in all of Italy. 10/10 dining experience. The service here is superb, like American level restaurant service, very attentive. The quality of all of the plates and presentation is excellent, everything was gorgeously plated. The atmosphere is comfortable and elegant. The prices in my opinion were very reasonable and frankly, I would have paid more. In the US this same experience would cost at least double. We ordered the Spaghetti with garlic, olive oil, chili oil & the Truffle Egg to start. I will dream about that truffle egg for the rest of my life lol. 100% order it. My husband had the Spanish Steak and I had the Australian. Juicy, tender meat and cooked to perfection. Every single person who came to our table was knowledgeable, funny, and very engaged and interested in our positive experience. The quality of the steaks are literally some of the best I’ve ever had in my life, in the top 3 and likely the second best of all time. My husband is a Chef from Spain, I’ve traveled around the world, and lived in Rome for a period. This was easily one of the top restaurant experiences from start to finish that I’ve ever had. Really memorable, excellent service and quality and just such a lovely setting. I would come back every night honestly.

Amazing food and service. And a great change of menu from the other nearby restaurants. Wife is a serious foodie and had the Poached Egg and Truffle starter then Pumpkin and Cinnamon Ravioli both phenomenal. I had the Lamb Skewers to start which were great, but the star was undoubtedly the Suckling Pig Belly with Honey. Shout out to the waiters also both fantastic especially Roberto who selected the wine, really friendly and knowledgeable.
