Toto pass me the oil

The chef has spent time in the UK and north Italy. He has returned to his home town to deliver a spectacular modern menu. The food is impressive, the staff very professional. It stands out amongst the competition. Being Australian, we turned up at 7 and watched everyone else arrive after 9. They were treated like friends at a wedding, which can only be another good sign. A great wine menu. An all round surprisingly good find in rural Italy!

Creative restaurant with exceptional ingredients, heart-warm service and excellent wine list. One of the culinary highlights where we would gladly return to again and again.

I found this randomly while walking in the streets and it was absolutely incredible. The food delicious, original and beautiful (I ordered the carpaccio with mushrooms and topinambour chips, and the homemade tagliatelle with mushrooms and pears). The service was excellent, with good wine recommendations, and the atmosphere was also very nice and cosy with an outside covered deck. My photos don't give the food justice, but if you go to Milazzo, this is a must do!

*Totò Passami l’Olio – A Masterclass in Sicilian Hospitality* From the moment you walk through the door at Totò Passami l’Olio, you know you’re in for something special. The setting is warm and inviting, blending the charm of Milazzo’s historic old town with a modern sense of style. The menu reads like a love letter to Sicily — each dish carefully crafted, beautifully balanced, and made with ingredients that speak for themselves. This is not just food, it’s storytelling on a plate. Every flavor feels purposeful, every detail considered. The welcome is unforgettable: fresh, warm bread straight from the kitchen with golden crusts and a soft center, served with silky Sicilian olive oil — the kind of simple pleasure that tells you the meal ahead will be exceptional. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, anticipating your needs before you even ask. And the chef… not just talented, but genuinely passionate, sharing his craft with a mix of professionalism, charm, and humor that makes you feel like you’re part of something special. Dining here is more than just eating — it’s an experience that stays with you. If you’re in Sicily, make sure Milazzo is on your map… and that this restaurant is your destination.

Excellent. I don’t have a lot to say but this: The service is exceptional, the chief comes to present you your dishes, and everyone is nice. When it comes to the food, it’s simply amazing. And for the place itself, it’s decorated with taste and the place is calm.

This restaurant deserves 5 stars all around! I had the best experience from the service to the food and setting. The dishes are refined and original, with quality ingredients. The service is personalized and attentive. I would go again in a heart beat!

I rarely give less than 5, 4 or even 2* but I had too here... The food itself was not that bad but quite blend, we had to wait 1 full hour to get our main dishesw ans we finished with a big bill (40eur per person, which is a lot in Italy). Bad experience, really.

The restaurant is really cozy, good wine and the service was super friendly and helpful. The presentation of the food also gives the impression of an upscale restaurant. The problem, for us at least, was that the food did not live up to the expectation. It’s not bad, it’s just not really good either. Besides that, the food took a long time to arrive, would have been ok if it tasted better.
