I was mindblown. The swordfish carpaccio, Albacore tartare, taglioni….soo good. The winner is tuna ventresca, I will dream about it tonight and for my whole life I think, it melts in your mouth I have never had Tuna steak this good. Tasted like foie gras. Bravissimo hopefully I coule come back again. Pass my hello to the cute cat.

(We came here on recommendation of the Salina Marina’s management).

Rough manners (especially the owner) and underlying sense of entitlement, which is something you may somehow try to understand in Michelin-starred restaurants, not here. On top of everything and reason of our 1-star review, we did not like our dishes (among which, the worst one, swordfish-eggs creamy pasta). Our grilled octopus was chewy and this is inexcusable considering how pretentious and expensive this restaurant wants to appear. In all fairness, people in our group said the Norma pasta they ordered was “perfection” and the broken cannolo was really beautifully presented. (Review written in English.

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.
