Mandralisca Sedici (16)

Authentic high quality fresh delicious food. The bread that came out at the start was a warm straight out of the oven. The pasta was divine. Beautiful setting. Affordable. Great service. Great wine. Very good value (€60 euro ish for two, with a starter to share, a glass of wine each, and a pasta dish).

Amazing food and service! We came for a late lunch and sat inside to enjoy air conditioning. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful 😊

Food here is extraordinery good, we went for octopus salad served with slices of orange, tasted heavenly good, same pasta with clams. The only disadvantage was not enough efficiently working air conditions.

Tucked away in one of Cefalù’s charming alleyways, Mandralisca Sedici is a notch above your average trattoria—both in style and quality. We kicked things off with an outstanding octopus salad and a generous portion of beef carpaccio, both packed with flavor. The mains? Ravioli with pork, creamy risotto with scampi, and perfectly done spaghetti vongole—all delivering above-average deliciousness. Prices are a bit higher, but if you’re into great food, it’s worth it. Definitely a spot for those who appreciate quality over just another touristy meal!

The restaurant has a dining room and outdoor seating (see photos). Service was very friendly and efficient. The special of the day what grilled whole fish (sea bream) for €25. It was well prepared but unfortunately, it was not descled so one could not eat its skin. The Sicilian salad was surprisingly small and consisted of tomatoes, some olives, and capers. Their bread basket offer in-house baked rolls, which are truly amazing! The washrooms are sparkling clean, well stocked, and smell great. If not for the rolls and washrooms, my rating would have been lower...

The pasta con le vongole was very very good. The staff were kind and made the experience enjoyable. I would recommend this bistrot!

We recently visited Mandralisca in Cefalu. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Restaurant offer a variety of delicious dishes. The portions were generous and the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. We waited for the food a little bit longer than we expected but in the end it was worth the waiting time. The service was really good. Mandralisca’s waiters were friendly and professional. The prices are the best in Cefalù. We would definitely return back.

Easily the best food we had in Sicily. We had the squid rings fried in bread crumbs, the grilled lamb, and the sea bream. Every dish made our taste buds dance in blissful delight. Our only regret was that we didn't have space for dessert. Service was great, the staff is very professional and kind.
