"In one of Sicily’s most iconic fortified villages which once prospered as a tuna fishery and is now a popular tourist attraction, Cortile Arabo serves carefully prepared and occasionally elaborate dishes of the highest quality, with a focus on fish (the menu also features a few meat dishes). The terrace on the rocks overlooking the sea, where the sound of the waves provides a soothing backdrop, is one of the highlights here." - Michelin Inspector
We had dinner in this beautiful restaurant with my fiance'.
It was a Saturday night and we did not have a reservation, but the staff made everything possible to accomodate our request.
The food is very nice, we have ordered several courses (you can see the pictures) and everything was delicious.
Very interesting was the oil emulsion, served in a toothpaste tube..very lovely experience. Also the tomato dessert..delicious.
We also had a drink in their bar, it is a beautiful lounge area right on the see. Definitely recommended.
Staff speaks great English.

A fabulous lunch ! This rates up there with the best Michelin restaurants we have attended. We had starters, shared first course and mains. Plus dessert. The white wine was local and superb. The staff are fantastic. Very attentive and knowledgeable. Everything was super, and the towelettes were amazing!
Highly recommend.

Wonderful. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic wait staff and epic food. We opted not to do the 5 course meal and regretted it!
You can spend a reasonable amount or a lot, it is up to you. Definitely worth booking at table and trying this place! You will not be disappointed!

Seaside location is picture perfect and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Our lunch was tasty and prepared with a great deal of creativity (anchovy ice cream as a starter!). We shared our meal and some great local wine. A most relaxing afternoon dining experience.

Michelin star worthy. Local dishes with a twist, great presentation, and we sat outside with a great view to the sea. Good value compared to similar restaurants back home.

Good service, excellent view and white terrace that makes a lovely contrast to the sea. Prices and food portions however are similar to those of a Michelin restaurant still missing the complete level of taste in the food. Happy to see the effort to improve the quality in this city
