Great location, charming and friendly service. Had an excellent seafood risotto. We had a table by the window with great views and they remembered us when we returned . Very good value.

After eating at some exquisite places in cefalu, my partner and I arrived with high expectations, from the moment we entered we were rushed by the waiting staff, the food that followed was terrible,over cooked and very bland not at all what we expected from Sicily, The only good thing was the view however I don't expect to pay for...

Average food, average wine, average service. Perfect for an average couple on an average summer's night.

Lovely view out over the water from the restaurant - though I think this is typical of many of the seafront restaurants in Cefalu. I tried the Tagliatelle covo del pirata which was delicious. Good value for money compared to some of the other restaurants in the same area.
This is the best place to eat in Cefalu. The restaurant overlooks the beach with a view over the sea. We went there twice in four days - the food is great.
We have been in this restaurant with friends in January 2013. Luckily it was warm enough to sit outside in the terrace. The terrace is great, the view is very special: you sit just over the sea and under the sun. But basically it was one of the very few things we liked about the restaurant. Service and waiters were...
