Carusu

€€€Creative

Along the road through the archaeological park, two small rooms on different floors host an elegant and refined restaurant, born from the Mangione family's passion – nomen omen. In the kitchen, young Alen, after significant experiences in renowned restaurants, offers his reinterpretation of Sicilian cuisine, with a strong focus on vegetables, many of which are grown on the farm tended by his uncle. At the entrance, you'll find father Francesco, while in the dining room, his equally young brother Dominique is available for conversations about wine.
