Locanda del Marinaio

Michelin restaurant. Food is decent but I had higher hope. Seafood platter is great. Beef second course is just okay. Cappuccino and espresso is good at the end.

Wow! Absolutely divine! Although I had no reservation and was a solo traveler they found a table on the beautiful patio and I was given amazing service! The 3 gentlemen were attentive, kind and professional. I had the ceviche and the red Asake. It was decadent. Best food I’ve had in Sicily so far. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

you have to get the olive breaded cod, it is absolutely divine and quite literally the best thing i have ever tasted. very fresh and juicy. i also had the ravioli which was good but the cod was the star of the night. also if you are a tourist, it’s very helpful to learn some italian. our waiter was thankful we were able to better communicate

Had a great meal here in September 2023. Unfortunately there is no terrace overlooking the sea but there is outdoor seating in the street and a nice indoor space. Menu has 4 dishes per section and a great wine list. On the whole we enjoyed the pasta and mains we had but we’re less impressed with our appetisers. The spinach salad was tasty but it was €18 and my friends aubergine mousse tasted like an average tomato soup. Everything else we ate was amazing.

Highly recommendable, we had a great evening here! Me and my wife had - 1 antipasti to share - 2 primi’s (pasta) - 1 secondi to share - 2 desserts This was maybe a little more than planned but the desserts looked/sounded so good ;-) Everything was really good, including the service and advice on which wine to take with dessert

Delicious tasty food, well presented, attention to detail when plated. We had octopus and potatoes as a starter, then risotto and pasta as a main and a mango cheesecake as dessert, everything was delicious. Only thing that could improve is the service (replenish the glass of water and other small attentions that you would expect from medium high tier places) but I'm being picky. I would definitely go back.

The food and service here was amazing! It was the best pasta I ever had. Every dish has such delicate flavours. Very impressed with Francesco Guercio, Francesco Blasco, and all the staffs for their knowledge and their attention to details. We sat outdoors at the cosy romantic veranda and thoroughly enjoyed every single dish. Definitely a full fledged Michelin Star Restaurant. We will return again soon.

Beautifully prepared seafood dishes. Recommended to us as best spot in town for seafood. Little fancier vibe. We had lunch on the deck outside - daily specials of fish and calamarata pasta with local in season artichokes. Succulent, perfectly cooked squid.

One of the best meals in Sicily! The wait staff were very friendly and we really enjoyed the whole experience. All dishes were served at the same time. We had 3 dishes from daily special - sardine & tomato, pasta w artichoke and shrimp, and local fish w vegetables. We also ordered risotto with prawn and fennel and almond.

In Cefalu there´s many tourist traps, even if possibly less than in other touristy cities. Still, finding really good food is not easy. The best is, ask the locals. That´s what I did, although the local actually was my cousin, who regularly comes here to dine. We had a range of fish based dishes, all of them consistently good. The service was impeccable, and even if this restaurant does not have a terrace on the cliffs, as many other restaurant nearby, eating here is a good experience too.

No hospitality at all, bad service, food is average. It is not worth to wait. Water was really unfriendly and arogant.

Friendly staff and nice outside eating, however food is the most important thing and that was a bit of a let down. The entree was nice even though the mussel was a bit undercooked. The same issue with the clams in the primi piatti.. When asked if everything was fine I gave my feedback so hopefully the undercooking was a one-time issue. For me that left the visit a mediocre one.

I had passed away this restaurant several times and finally in July I want to look up going twice. The menu is very fresh and inspiring. The wine selection as almost anything you can think of. Though I would recommend reservations luckily on the two occasions I went was able to get a table after a short wait. The food taste amazing and service was fast and professional probably some of the best restaurant staff in cefalu' work at this restaurant. Appetizers or very tasty and you could tell that the best really was creative making the selections. From the dessert menu I chose the Citrus lemonade dessert which was amazing. If you're interested definitely don't miss this wonderful location.

This is no comment on the food as the waiters were so unpleasant and arrogant that we needed to leave this place before placing our order
