This is a stylish modern space with warm service and great food. We went for the 3 course €60 menu ( you can just choose from the main menu), everything including amuse boucle and pre-dessert was inventive and delicious. We're not wild about the 'log in to WiFi scan QR code ' for the menu but fortunately they actually take your orders and you pay in person, not all done online. What's wrong with proper menus?! A great experience nevertheless.

My party and I had an exceptional meal—flawlessly executed dishes and an amazing staff. Thank you!We will definitely be back.
This is a really high class restaurant. The food is fabulous and inventive and the service engaging and....fun! I spoke with the chef afterwards and he's massively committed and enthusiastic. One starter didn't quite sit with me. A raw fish dish that I was expecting to taste salty had a tang of vanilla..... But that's personal taste.Truly memorable and maybe, just maybe the best restaurant ever....
The waiters are so friendly. We got the Amuse-Bouche twice because we loved it so much! Quality of food and atmosphere top! Happily paying 28€ for the cutlery at a table of 7! Would definitely come back!
If you want a meal that leaves you bursting at the seams this is probably not the restaurant for you; if you want to try inventive and delicious dishes, based around local ingredients, it most certainly is. We had the 3 course dinner which took in for starters shrimp and mozzarella and marinated amberjack; for mains shrimp and pistachio bisque and linguine with octopus before finishing off with creamy chocolate and tomato and basil (really). All were a flavourful treat with superb choices of ingredients, making it our best meal in Cefalu so far, washed down with a fine house white wine and a Messina beer. Enjoy.
