Then in addition, the prosciutto with melon, also the carbonara which had thicker noodles. I dont know that I necessarily care for that, but it was yummy, and so flavorful. I loved it. The service was very direct slightly pretentious in a feel good way. So fun and such a good way to end your night in Italy.

Accept for the vongole truly mediocre food! This restaurant was very highly rated here on Yelp…read more Maybe by ignorant tourists from podunk but. I would say this was one of two very disappointing meals we ate in 2 full weeks in Palermo and Rome. Drab interior which is fine but when the food matches it. Ugh! Service? While the waitress tried hard, meh. Last, we were the sole patrons, even in the centro storico.

This pizzeria has been serving good pizzas for the last 40 odd years. The pizza base is crispy but…read morerelatively thick, which is typical for Sicilian pizzas. They offer more than 50 different toppings, some of which include local produce like: goat cheese with mint, sun dried tomatoes, saffron-cheese, sausage with fennel seeds. The restaurant is scenically housed in the stables of a medieval manor perched on top of a cliff. The summer terrace has spectacular views over a valley with a lake and surrounded by rugged mountains. The pizza and scenery are well worth a drive on the curvy and winding road up the hill.

Everyone was very happy with their orders, which varied across the menu. I ordered the sampler, which the waiter said was for "one." Now, I'm a big guy and could eat half of what they brought. Not a problem though, as it was delicious and I had a full meal to take home. The appetizers were fantastic from the meats to the bruschetta. All dishes had wonderful flavor and we were sharing across the board. We wouldn't hesitate to go back or to recommend this spot.

Absolutely the Best. From the time you walk in until your departure you will like you are at home…read more We arrive a couple of minutes prior to their opening and there was one couple in front of us. We basically went right in which was very nice. We sat in the front room as you entered. There were about 7 or 8 tables and another room off to the side. Don't know how big but it seemed to be about the same size. After about 30 minutes the little restaurant was packed. They turned many people away. Sad for them. We ordered the Pasta with Pumpkin, Pecorino, and Ricotta Cheese and the Pasta with Pistachio Pesto, Stracciatella Cheese and Sun Dried Tomatoes. Both dishes were perfectly prepared. My pick was the pistachio one and it was addictive. I couldn't stop eating it. The pumpkin one was equally as good but that addictive kept calling my name. We both had to finally give up because we wanted to try the dessert. The dessert was definitely the finale. A deconstructed cannoli. Best we had In Palermo. This place nails it. The atmosphere is hip. The music is great. The service is the best we have had in our three weeks in Sicily. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend. Make a reservation!!!

I was in this restaurant during a recent visit to Cefalu with my girlfriend and 2 of my friends…read more The choose was suggested by an inhabitant of the city and it was a great suggestion. The restaurant is located in the centre of the city, on the sea (exactly on the sea). There are some tables reserved for romantic dinner which are located exactly above the water. We went just few minutes after 20:00 and we could enjoy as well a spectacular sunset. Main food is of course the fish even if they are offering as well fish. We had Spaghetti with Ricci (Sea urchin Spaghetti) and we really enjoyed it since the Sea urchins were really fresh. The main course was really a masterpiece Tuna fish with pistachio. As well in this case, the fish was really fresh and well prepared. My girlfriend made the choose to have a prawn cocktail: unluckily in this case she was not lucky since there was too much sauce, which killed the taste of the prawn. I think that it is better in this restaurant to choose something which is linked to the tradition of the place rather than to have a look at something of international. Really nice was the service as well, the owner was really careful and he took really care about us.

Came here with higher hopes. First off I came for the linguine con vongole! Prices from the menu…read moreboth online and reviews seemed cheaper - the linguine con vongole was not on the physical menu but they said they could make spaghetti con vongole for me. This should have been the same price - but they charged me 4-5 Euro more. This cost more than all the other seafood pastas that were on the menu!! The taste was also hardly there; I could make this way better at home. I also found a small hair AFTER I had finished the majority of my dish. The wine I got was the last bit of the bottle, so I got skimped on the pour, which I was upset about. I kept looking around at others ordering wine and they all got 3/4 of an inch more in the wine glass than I did. I was expecting him to come back with a new bottle to finish the acceptable pour - but nope. With the cooperto to charge and charge for tap water (which I know is everywhere in Italy) this bill cost me a lot more than I was expecting for the service and quality of the food. I had more food at lunch with a nicer ambiance which cost me less than this spot! Don't think I would recommend this spot to friends visiting unfortunately.

You can fill your belly with delightful traditional Sicilian fare from La Lanterna. The courses are a la carte, so you can choose where you begin (unlike many other places with no menu where they just bring food and you don't know what's happening). They also helpfully have a menu in English (!) so you can figure out what you are eating. Antipasti and bruschetta to begin, or skip to the pasta dishes; you will find some that are familiar (spaghetti carbonara or penne Arabians) and you will find something new (spaghetti montanari, my choice-so good, or spaghetti alla caprese, my husband's selection). For second dishes, there is a wide selection of meat dishes, such as veal scallopini, Milanese cutlet, or pork chops. Then there's the pizza menu. There's about 30 different pizzas! They also have several sandwiches. There are side dishes (side salads and French fries) and finally, desserts (gelato, semifreddo). There is wine, beer, soda. Tip: order to share. Portions are huge and designed for sharing. We are learning... The restaurant was actually crammed full of the locals. You could literally eat here every night of your trip and have something different and delicious. You cannot go wrong at La Lanterna.
