Il Bavaglino
Although this restaurant now occupies new premises in an old building once used for salting fish, its style of cuisine (featured on three tasting menus, “Storie e passioni”, “Mura di Casa”, and the vegetarian “Erba Terra Foglie”, from which dishes can also be chosen à la carte style) remains unchanged. Inspired by regional traditions, chef Giuseppe Costa creates personalised and imaginative dishes that are influenced by local flavours and his past culinary experience, proving himself to be equally at ease with fish and meat options. Our inspector particularly recommends the local purple prawns
TripAdvisor review sample · 3.6/5 · 100 reviews
Il Bavaglino in Terrasini offers striking sea views and sunsets, though dining experiences vary widely. Food quality receives mixed feedback; while some praise the creative 'Mura di Casa' menu and fresh ingredients like red shrimp sushi, others criticize the use of supermarket snacks for aperitifs. Service is inconsistent, ranging from professional and welcoming to arrogant or unresponsive, with reports of denied restroom access for bar patrons. Ambiance is generally praised for its strategic window seats, but noise from nearby tables can detract from the experience. Although once highly regarded for unique dishes, current reviews suggest declining standards in both cuisine and hospitality, making the scenic setting the primary draw rather than consistent culinary excellence.
Suitable for visitors prioritizing sea views and sunset scenery over consistent culinary quality.
