普拉塔尼别墅奢华套房

Park in one of the streets near this restaurant and prepare yourself for a delightful journey through Sicily and its culinary traditions! Chef Pino Cuttaia, who is demonstrably in love with his native island, highlights his ingredients in a simple and unfussy way, as demonstrated by the shellfish pasta minestra and the black Nebrodi suckling pig with a tomato-based “sugo della Domenica” (Sunday gravy). The two small dining rooms with a modern and minimalist feel offer an attractive setting for this enjoyable culinary experience, enhanced by the elegant service provided by the experienced Vince

Having moved behind its old premises during 2025 (now home to TuMa, a modern osteria run by the same team), chef Tony Lo Coco’s new restaurant now occupies the lower part of the Villa Palagonia, a large historic 18C palazzo once visited and described by the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The cuisine continues to focus on Sicilian recipes and ingredients (meat and fish alike), which are personalised and imaginative, showcased on four tasting menus and an extensive à la carte. Various elegant dining rooms, a chef’s table for four guests who can observe the chef working close at hand, a well-st

In a town renowned for its splendid villas built by the Palermo aristocracy, this restaurant occupies a small 16C tower on the edge of the historic centre. The name is a tribute to lemon, a fruit that grows in abundance in Bagheria. The restaurant has two elegant, contemporary-style floors, where dinner starts on the small terrace-cum-lounge – the setting for sampling a whole host of delicious appetisers. This is guests’ first encounter with a technical and creative cuisine that sensitively uses the finest local ingredients, while often following paths born from personal and imaginative ideas.

In the heart of monumental Palermo, set in a 16th-century palazzo almost opposite the Cathedral (after your meal, ask to step out onto the balcony: a fitting finale to a special evening), this distinctive restaurant shares its space with an exhibition dedicated to Steve Jobs. Diners are welcomed into one of three elegant rooms, beneath frescoed ceilings and surrounded by photographs and memorabilia tracing the story of the computer pioneer. In the kitchen, chef Carmelo Trentacosti reinterprets Sicilian recipes and ingredients with a personal touch: his famous caponata, for example, becomes a v

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

Once home to the I Pupi restaurant, and run by the same team, this “new generation” osteria takes its name from chef Lo Coco’s children, Turi and Emma. The cuisine here is in the hands of the sous-chef, who pays tribute to Sicily and its glorious, colourful culinary traditions: caponata, aubergine balls, swordfish rolls and the catch of the day all feature on the menu. In summer, tables are laid out in the quiet alleyway behind the restaurant.

The flavors of Sicily – and not just seafood – are reimagined in a modern way, with personal touches (such as the tuna cutlet cooked and raw with soy mayonnaise and mashed potatoes), as well as vegetarian recipes inspired by the multi-starred chef Perbellini, executed with good technique and a dedication to taste. This all takes place in a modern beach establishment, complete with loungers and umbrellas. In the summertime, the windows open, and you practically all dine on the terrace, surrounded by the scent of the sea.
