A very pleasant spot, slightly tucked away from the tourist crowds. I enjoyed a really good glass of wine here, and my wife still talks about the “7 pistachio wonders” to this day :) Funny enough, she didn’t even want to order it at first! Highly recommend – a great place to relax and enjoy quality wine.

Fantastic wine bar that we stumbled across while staying a couple of nights in Cefalù. The owner was very welcoming and talked us through different (mostly local and organic) wine options—a great selection by the glass as well as by the bottle! The food and atmosphere was also fabulous.

Came here based on the positive reviews and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is located in a small quiet alley with just occasional foot traffic. We sat on the patio, but the interior of the restaurant looked very nice, if not a bit warm. Our server was very knowledgeable of the wines on their extensive list. He guided us towards an amazing Barolo that paired very well with our dinner choices. The food was delicious. I would definitely come back on a future trip.

My husband and I are visiting cefalu today, after enjoying the sunset I find this restaurant on google with high score and we decide to have a try. It turns out that this is really an awesome restaurant, every dish including appetizer, main course, sparking wine and desert all of them are out of my expectations with reasonable price. Like this place very very much! The atmosphere is also very welcoming and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Don’t miss La Cave Enoteca hidden in the side alleyways in Cefalu. EST alfresco under the stars or indoors in a historic building with glass floors where you can view the wine cellar. The service was amazing our waiter helped us with our wine choice, which we were happy with. A Nero d’Avola from Agrigento and a Tenuta Ferrara from MT Etna. The menu is amazing and simple where you won’t be bombarded with hundreds of choices. Where each piece in the plate was a hero. Fresh, delicious and a slight edge to the traditional pasta and pizza eateries. We had found this on our last night otherwise we would have revisited.
