Ristorante Balìce

one of the most interesting restaurants in the area, a new location for them with a beautiful relaxing outdoor space. chef Giacomo Caravello offers excellent traditional dishes with a touch of magic, the sea urchin crostini and the grilled octopus are very good. His first delicate and great tasting balice is worth trying. Congratulations to the guys in the dining room and to the sommelier who made us try beautiful things from the slopes of Etna

It’s always a nice confirmation. The chef and his personnel are able to offer a trip among Sicilian cuisine and elegant innovations. Every time I’m in town I want to pay a visit to this restaurant.

An absolute jewel. We have been travelling through Sicily and this is perhaps the spot where we have found the best food in the island. We found it by chance, close to the harbour where our ferry from Salina left us, and it was fantastic. The tagliatelle were minimalistic but delicious, and everything just worked well. If you stop by the city, this spot is an absolute must.

Hands down the best restaurant we ate at on our honeymoon in Sicily. Pleasure to watch the artists at work in the kitchen. waitstaff and sommelier were wonderful! The experience was one witch brought back the essence of positive memories and we also learned many new things. I would recommend going early if you want more attention and going late if you like the rhythm of a restaurant. We did the 9 course tasting and wine pairing and it was worth it. My favorite dish was the mackerel with caper powder and my husband’s was the beef cheek with peanut sauce but it was all wonderful. We mostly had Sicilian wines and wished we could find them again in New York. I am grateful we chose this restaurant and will dream of it again… sigh 😌

Elegant and neat environment, great food experience and good selection of wine. Perfect for a date or a gourmet experience with a good friend. I definitely recommend the 5 (which my gf tried) or the 9 courses menù (which I chose) over some items a la cart. It worths every € spent but it’s definitely not the average seafood place you can find anywhere in Sicily. Good service and great ambience. A must to go if around Milazzo!

They might be able to reach for The star. You could sense that they are trained for a great service, willing to make an effort for you (even though they don't have everything for it) A great explosion of taste for the menu 4 services. The tuna was perfectly cooked. I usually never really like dessert unless they are exceptional, and I have to say that it was their master piece. Close your eyes when you'll eat it, it wakes you up! Small minus because they mixed our 4services with the 5 services (in terms of portions for 2 of the dishes) Doesn't really matter for us but that could have been perfect.

Spectacular meal. Delicious, innovative dishes anchored in traditional Sicilian cuisine. Super fresh, local ingredients. Great service and a good wine list. Beautiful, inviting space. Open kitchen is mesmerizing. Keep your eye on Chef Giacomo!!!

Very nice dinner at Balice - lovely ambient, great attentive service and sommelier, tasty and original dishes. We got the be classic menu and it was more than enough, we were very full at the end of it. Highly recommend the place and will def come back if I ever pass by Milazzo again
