Mirko's Ristorante

The best food we’ve had in Castellammare! Absolutely delicious, fresh and creative and we’re so glad we’ve come across this restaurant. The staff were great, too, who made us feel so welcome, so thank you very much for this experience.

I honestly don’t understand how that place got into Michelin guide. Service is simply awful, only 1 person speaks English and that person simply does not care, as a result they got the order wrong. Menu is accessible by a QR code, in theory, In reality it was corrupted so they had to send it by air drop. Moreover, we’ve been waiting forever for them to take the order, bring our food(a part of it) and the bill as well. To be honest the food itself was decent, but the experience was completely demolished by the service and waiting time.

Mirkos in Castellmare del Golfo offers a culinary experience not to be missed. From the quality of the food to the excellent service and welcoming atmosphere, Mirkos offers an all-around gastronomic experience. The kitchen greeting a trio with fish, chips and kracker with mayonnaise was tasty and made lust to more. The first course including the mixed salad and the "Don't Call Me Caprese" salad were delicious. But honestly the mixed salad was pretty boring and the tomato not yet ripe - while the "Don't Call Me Caprese" salad was an exciting variation on the classic Caprese salad. The combination of fresh ingredients and creative flavor combinations in this dish was a testament to the attention to detail and dedication of the kitchen team. The main course, pistachio pasta with tuna tartare, was a real treat. The pasta was cooked al dente and topped with a rich sauce of pistachios and finely tuned tuna tartare. The "fish symphony" presented in the form of a pizza was a unique and creative way. Each bite is an explosion of flavor that delighted the senses. Oregano, tomato, bread crumbs, fish - I loved it. The quality of the food at Mirkos is outstanding. The ingredients fresh, the preparation expert and the presentation appealing. The food is put together with care and passion, which is reflected in each and every bite. The service in the restaurant was very attentive and friendly. The staff well trained and always willing to assist with questions about the food or recommendations. The service was efficient and courteous, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere in the restaurant was inviting and comfortable. The moody ambiance, tasteful decor created a relaxed atmosphere that made you feel at home. In summary, Mirkos Restaurant in Castellmare del Golfo is an outstanding choice for lovers of fine Italian cuisine. The quality of the food was top notch, the service attentive, and the atmosphere welcoming. A visit to Mirkos is a culinary experience. Keep in mind that the prices tend to be in a higher price range.

A must to dine here! Service was the most friendly we had while in Castallammare. They recommended Zagara: la pasta del Marinaio and we loved it. The pistachio on the pasta was a nice touch along with having a small dot (can’t remember what it was exactly) to eat to finish off the dish. The Cous cous di pesce alla nostrana was the best fish cous cous I had in Sicily. The sauce they make really elevates the dish.

Best meal we had in Sicily! Food was fresh, sophisticated but not fussy, subtle and creative while traditional. Attentive service and the chef came out to greet us at the end. They were very careful with my gluten sensitivity, even adapting the appetizer so I could have it. Chef was happy to explain some of the dishes I asked about to make at home.

Family run place. Amazing staff and food. Don't miss out on this place. They were open and delivered on both food and service even though they ere catering local food festival at the same time.

Mirko is indeed the must-go restaurant restaurant in Castellammare. A creative and well-accomplished step up from traditional Sicilian food while keeping and respecting the "memory", with generous portions and the much welcome charm that only Sicilian hosts can have. What an amazing experience! We over-ordered and had to skip dessert (next time). Our arancino al polpo and the pizzette with tuna were delicious and a revelation. Both the carbonara alla crema di cozze and the risotto were superbly cooked and served. Their wine list is extensive and our host gave us a mini lecture in Sicilian wine. We drank a lovely, mineral-ey organic Inzolia that was not only really good but also reasonably priced. Cat-lovers will also love Mirko because the much-loved resident kitty - Pinuzza - is a real character. You'll also get to meet Schizzo and Silvestro, who - by the way - are very polite and would not disturb you. Grazie della meravigliosa esperienza!

Mirkos is one of those amazing high cuisine restaurants - but not pretentious at all. Managed by a family, the service was simply top notch. We got the best advice, they waited for us despite us being very late - such stars. Food is a devine experience - cous cous was fantastic, but so was everything else. Wine included. Bravissimi, I can’t really say anything but good things about this restaurant. If you are in Castellammare is a must try experience.

Alberto complemented the exquisite food with insights, history and made the evening a gastronomic adventure!!!

We have been to Venice room Florence and the Amalfi coast on this trip. This was our favorite restaurant. Food, service, atmosphere was stellar. Highly recommend.

Mirko's has been mine favorite. Alberto is a professional with an Italian charm that made each evening relaxing and peaceful. He recommended everything I ate on multiple nights and didn't disappoint on anything. My GF Gloria loves everything about Mirko's including Pina the pregnant cat that sleeps in the boat outside the entrance.

We had an absolutely delicious meal at Mirko's. They have seating in front of the restaurant on some steps. We shared the raw fish/seafood platter which was very fresh. The shrimps in particular were sweet and flavourful. It also comes with raw tuna, bluefish and another fish that I cannot remember plus two oysters. It's more than enough to share between two people. My partner had the gnocchi with clams and zucchini which was full of flavour yet light, despite the potential heaviness of the gnocchi. I had the busiate with red shrimp, sea urchin and bottarga which was simply amazing. It was loaded with flavour and I loved the pasta shape. We shared a bottle of local white wine. The meal came to €86. A little in the pricey side but well worth it!

Are you kidding me? What a gem! This is a MUST visit if you're in Sicily. The food is outrageous and Mirko himself is warm, interesting and personable. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is pure Sicilian. Wonderful experience on the steps and worth the money. Can't wait to come back. Bravo!
