SICILY
A land of drama and duality—where smoking volcanoes meet glittering beaches, and ancient ruins stand beside crumbling Baroque palazzi. Sicily is wild, magnetic, and textured, with a cultural richness that spans Greek temples, Moorish markets, and Roman mosaics. From the cliffs of Taormina to the street stalls of Palermo and the windswept silence of the Val di Noto, this is southern Italy in its most elemental form.
Where We Eat
Sicilian food is bold—Arab, Spanish, Greek, and North African flavors collide over local treasures: Etna oranges, Bronte pistachios, ricotta so fresh it barely holds shape.
Our Dinner Go-Tos
-
Refined but relaxed, this family-run favorite sits just off Piazza Croce dei Vespri, balancing Sicilian tradition with thoughtful tweaks. Expect house-made pastas, hyperlocal wine, and staff who actually care if you’re enjoying yourself. Make a reservation—it fills quickly, even on weekdays.
-
-
This coastal hideaway near Siracusa is all about the seafood—raw, grilled, marinated, or just pulled from the sea. Think plastic chairs, Aperol spritzes, and sea urchin pasta that lives rent-free in your memory. Go at lunch for peak seaside atmosphere and freshest catch.
-
Hidden under the old city in a lava-stone cave beside a Roman aqueduct, this low-key tavern serves up honest, hearty Sicilian fare with an underground edge. Locals come for the pasta alla Norma and arancini, visitors stay for the cool, cavernous energy. Go early or book ahead—this is no secret anymore, especially on weekends.
-
This old-school seafood trattoria doesn’t care about frills—it just gets everything right. Expect handwritten menus, fishermen eating at the next table, and dishes like spaghetti with sea urchin or involtini di pesce spada that haven’t changed in decades. Closed Sunday. Cash recommended, reservations not always needed but wise for dinner.
Street Food
-
This arancini-only shop reimagines Sicily’s most iconic street food with over a dozen inventive fillings, from pistachio and speck to shrimp and citrus. It’s casual, fast, and surprisingly refined.
-
What begins as a sandwich counter inside the Ortigia market becomes something of a performance. Expect ricotta straight from the ladle, aged provolone, wild herbs, and sandwiches the size of your head. Go hungry and with patience—it’s crowded, chaotic, and totally worth it.
-
This is the real-deal spleen sandwich, a Palermo street food classic that’s not for the faint of heart. Served with lemon or cheese, it’s humble, historic, and best eaten standing at the counter.
-
Famous for their pane cunzato—a rustic open-faced sandwich layered with capers, tomatoes, anchovies, and local cheese—Da Alfredo is a pilgrimage spot for anyone sailing through Salina. The granita is excellent, too.
-
Though technically a pastry shop, locals flood Savia all day long for their cipollina—a puff pastry filled with tomato, mozzarella, onion, and ham. Pair it with a strong espresso and stand at the marble counter like a regular.
Go All Out
-
A two-Michelin-star destination tucked into a honey-colored cave in one of Sicily’s most baroque towns. The tasting menus lean hyperlocal—Modica chocolate, Sicilian red prawns, wild herbs—served with wine pairings that span the island’s volcanic slopes to coastal vineyards. Refined, theatrical, and utterly Sicilian. Book weeks in advance, especially during high season
-
Set in the San Domenico Palace (now a Four Seasons), this Michelin-starred restaurant is a masterclass in drama—from the clifftop views to the polished silverware. The menu is bold but balanced, reinterpreting Sicilian flavors through a haute lens. Perfect for a splurge night.
-
Chef Ciccio Sultano’s flagship is a pilgrimage for food obsessives. With two Michelin stars and a fiercely Sicilian philosophy, every dish feels personal—layered, emotional, and meticulously plated. From aged ragusano to raw Mazara prawns, the experience is ambitious but deeply rooted.
-
Chef Pino Cuttaia’s two-Michelin-starred spot is less about flash and more about poetry. Dishes are nostalgic yet avant-garde—like a “cloud” of cuttlefish ink or a deconstructed arancino. Every course nods to Sicilian memory, delivered with restraint and brilliance.
-
With just eight tables perched above the Ionian Sea, this intimate restaurant at the Grand Hotel Timeo is one of Sicily’s best-kept secrets. It’s elegant without being stiff, romantic without trying too hard. Chef Roberto Toro blends Mediterranean finesse with seasonal island produce. Only open seasonally—ideal for anniversaries, proposals, or your most dressed-up night in Sicily.
Best Desserts
-
This institution has become synonymous with granita, served in frosty glass cups with warm, freshly baked brioche on the side. Flavors rotate daily—almond, mulberry, pistachio—but regulars know to ask what’s just been made. There’s often a line in summer, but turnover is quick and staff are famously efficient.
-
This legendary pasticceria is home to what many call the best setteveli cake in Italy—a seven-layered masterpiece of chocolate, hazelnut, and gianduja mousse. They also do a refined take on cassata and cannoli.
-
A low-key gem that locals flock to for flawless almond pastries, handmade marzipan, and gelato stuffed into brioche. Their pistachio granita is especially rich, made with Bronte nuts and minimal sugar. Don’t skip the almond milk granita—it’s pure Sicilian nostalgia.
Where We Wake Up
-
A pilgrimage-worthy pasticceria where Corrado Assenza crafts almond granita, pistachio brioche, and pastries that feel more like philosophy than food. This is the beating heart of Sicilian breakfast culture, refined and deeply rooted. Go early in the morning for still-warm brioche and fewer crowds.
-
Art-filled and effortlessly stylish, this all-day spot pairs espresso with international café culture. Locals come for pistachio croissants and oat milk lattes, creatives linger on the patio with sketchbooks.
-
Set against the windmills and salt flats of western Sicily, this understated café delivers simple espresso with cinematic views. The vibe is low-key, but the setting is pure magic—especially at sunrise.
Aperitivo Hour
-
Set in a leafy, candlelit courtyard in the heart of Palermo’s old town, Cortile Spirito is effortlessly cool without trying. It draws a local crowd, mixes excellent craft cocktails with Sicilian flair, and feels like the kind of place you just end up at, night after night.
-
Buzzy, unpretentious, and loved by locals, this corner café in Palermo delivers classic aperitivo with laid-back energy. Spritzes flow, the crowd spills onto the sidewalk, and apericena (think aperitivo plus small bites) is generous and well-priced. A go-to for an early drink that turns into something more.
-
Tucked into a narrow alley near the water, this Ortigia institution serves unfussy cocktails, great wine by the glass, and aperitivo boards that showcase local cheese and charcuterie. Grab a table outside and let the people-watching do the rest.
-
Old-school Sicilian charm meets lively street scene. Tucked behind the Vucciria market, this no-frills spot does strong drinks, casual vibes, and an always-packed crowd. Come early for a seat or lean into the chaos and drink your aperitivo standing on the cobblestones.
-
A beautifully designed natural wine bar that feels both low-key and elevated. Everything is locally sourced—from the biodynamic wines to the olives—and the service is genuinely warm. Best just before sunset, with a glass of something mineral from Etna.

Sample Itinerary
If You Have 48 Hours
PART ONE: Arrive In Ortigia
Check in at the elegant countryside estate Monaci delle Terre Nere, perched on the slopes of Mount Etna. Or, for a city-meets-sea alternative, base yourself at Caportigia Boutique Hotel in the heart of Siracusa.
Drop your bags and head straight for Ortigia Market, where local pecorino, pistachios, and freshly fried panelle fill the air with salt and spice. Meander through Ortigia’s golden-stone alleyways and baroque piazzas, ducking into churches and courtyards, and pausing for a casual lunch at Ai Bottai — laid-back, lively, and perfect for people-watching.
PART TWO: Aperitivo & A Slow Dinner
As the afternoon sun stretches long over the rooftops, stop into Spina Bar to browse their curated natural wine selection and pick up pantry souvenirs like preserved capers and fig jam.
Rest, refresh, and then dress up for dinner at Cortile Spirito Santo, one of Ortigia’s most refined dining experiences, where delicate seafood is served in a candlelit stone courtyard. Walk home slowly through the quiet, lantern-lit lanes — Ortigia after dark is its own kind of magic.
PART THREE: Etna Exploration
Rise early for an espresso and granita at Dal Barone before heading inland. Join a private off-road experience with Sicily Spot for a deep dive into the shifting terrain of Mount Etna, with panoramic viewpoints, volcanic craters, and lunar landscapes.
After the trek, head to Benanti Winery for a tasting of wines born from volcanic soil — expect Carricante whites and complex reds alongside ricotta, olives, and fresh-baked pane cunzato.
PART FOUR: A Final Taste Of The Southeast
Take a scenic route back to Siracusa, detouring through sleepy hilltowns like Zafferana Etnea or Milo for a roadside espresso. Arrive back in Ortigia in time for aperitivo hour — settle into Vespa Café with a negroni and watch the light shift over the Ionian.
For your last dinner, book a table at Don Camillo, a Sicilian institution hidden in a 15th-century palazzo, where traditional recipes are plated with poise. If you have time the next morning, take a seaside stroll or detour to Marzamemi — a coastal village that pairs rustic charm with just the right dose of glamor.
