Nni Lausta

A fantastic experience for simple, classic with a twist Aeolian cuisine! We had a wonderful dinner while in Salina and would highly recommend the restaurant. Chef Fillipo is a genius when it comes to taking the most humble of local ingredients and turning them into absolute delicacies. Starting with the broad bean soup with herbed ricotta and anchovies a classic Sicilian soup taken to the next level with fresh herbed ricotta and salty anchovies. We both wanted meat for so we chose the black pork sausages and the house made beef spiedini both absolutely delicious and so simple and we both had the purslane salad, foraged from the local mountains and just delicious. The salted mandarin sorbet with Lemon jam was a perfect finish. We loved everything and would highly recommended you visit.

The best meal we had in Salina! The complimentary appetizer won us over instantly, and we knew we had to come back. The Pasta alla Norma was the best of my life, the Mahi Mahi absolutely unforgettable, and even the side vegetables were full of flavor. We loved the unique local salad greens and ended our trip perfectly with their delicious desserts. Warm and welcoming service made us feel like family. If you arrive at Santa Marina port, don’t miss this restaurant – it’s a true gem!

We had such a wonderful experience at Nni Lausta that we returned 3 times for dinner during our trip to Salina. The food is spectacular, our favorites being the Pasta a la Norma, the sea bream and the rabbit dish. We have traveled all over Sicily and this Norma hit different. The wines are local and delicious. The cannoli was out of this world. The ingredients are fresh and the service is great, Isham made us feel right at home. Very friendly and attentive. I could not recommend this place more

I arrived on Salina Island by sailing boat and this was my first time there. The marina costs 270 euros just to park our small boat... Then I happened upon this restaurant on a stroll. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. The owners are very strict about everything. I highly recommend it. The prices are but expensive but are reasonable for a summer resort where they can't make money year-round.

Friendly staff and a very creative menu. We enjoyed all our dishes, very local but elevated entrees and desserts and nice local wine. This restaurant is on the main pedestrian street and does not have water views but had a good vibe.

MIND-BLOWING. Meals like this will stay in my memory forever. We had mullet ceviche with sour cream and it’s just out of this world… and the pasta with barracuda 🥹and the ending is also perfect: lemon granitas 💯

We were on a sailing holiday and arrived in Salina marina for the night. We chose this restaurant because it was small but busy. We now know why it was busy even for off season. The food was fabulous. The yellowtail was especially good. Although a limited selection the wine was local and good. Highly recommended.

This is possibly one of the best meals that I've ever eaten. Simple dishes, fresh local produce, delicious local wine, and good, friendly service. The only black mark - the coffee machine decided not to play ball. C'est la vie. Swordfish ceviche, the most beautifully cooked squid (totano locale on the menu), caponata, tuna tartare, a rare steak, ravioli, and garfish. Good sized portions, especially my squid, which the knife cut through as though it were soft butter. Absolute heaven and, without doubt, the best squid that I have eaten anywhere. Coupled with local Salina bianco, then followed by gellati (the limone, again, was outstanding). Apologies for not having the primi piatti page, but it was out of focus. Delicious fresh bread served in paper bags, with a tomato/garlic/oregano accompaniment to start, with planty more "pane" turning up throughout the meal without needing to ask. €393 for 7, but worth every cent. Do not miss the opportunity to visit if you ever find yourself in Salina. The multiple Michelin awards stickers tell you all the you need to know.

Great taste! Welcoming chef & location. We drive 45 min to get there. The fresh sardines with lemon are incredible. The menue is made on the day. We went for lunch: A choice of 3 main dishes. Starter about 10,-, main 10-12,- Homemade desert. The place is in the guide de Michelin since years. In the summer season you can also sit outside.

Everything!!! We had the zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, caper antipasto, mahi fish entree, pilot fish entree, ravioli, eggplant parmesan (amazing) , prickly pear dessert and so much more. Everything was so good and the staff was great! Highly recommend.

We walked by early in the day and went in to ask if we needed a reservation for dinner that night. The proprietor took my daughter upstairs to the terrace to select a table. What a lovely spot for dinner! We were surrounded by the scent of jasmine. I had their outstanding pasta alla Norma. The best compliment I could offer -- it was my grandmother's sauce. This restaurant is a must if you are on Salina.
