What customers say?

“ We found the restaurant while wandering around Favignana. They immediately greeted us and showed us to a seat in the garden. We ordered and were served very quickly, with very good food. An unexpected discovery. ”

“ Very friendly staff, raw fish starter 5/5, busiate with red prawns 4/5 (in my opinion they could have been "less dry") ”

“ There are a lot of restaurant choices in town and we almost made the mistake of passing up this wonderful establishment. Luckily we decided to try and had a memorable dinner in a stunning garden setting. You can't see the garden from the street but it's beautiful with water fountains and very chic with white decor. The black squid ink pasta was delicious and so were the desserts. The owner was there and went out of his way to answer our questions about the local economy and even showed us some of the very unique features of the hotel (Aegusa) the restaurant is connected to. Highly recommend. We will be back soon! ”

“ The atmosphere was very pleasant; we dined in the outdoor courtyard, which was quite spacious and bright. The menu was truly intriguing and featured many traditional Favignana dishes. The price was also very reasonable; if you want to enjoy all the dishes, I'd say it was around €40 per person. I have no particular comments to make; I really enjoyed my stay. ”

“ We dined here on the half-board plan at the Hotel Insula for a week and had a wonderful time. The location is truly charming, set in a well-kept garden, quiet, and right in the center of town yet away from the hustle and bustle of the nightlife. We tried practically every seafood dish on the menu and were always extremely satisfied. Everything was truly delicious and beautifully plated. Special mention goes to the shrimp and pistachio busiate and the shrimp tartare. Very friendly staff, fast service, and a wide selection. ”

“ The restaurant is nestled inside a side street, in a wonderful, well-lit, and refined setting. The staff is always busy and eager to please. We had a generously sized first course and a generous and delicious fried second course. Unfortunately, there were a few issues that prevented me from giving it 5 stars: the wine arrived after the main courses, we had to ask for bread, and the second course we requested never arrived. I must say, however, that the restaurant's store manager was excellent at handling the mix-up and immediately made herself available to leave us satisfied. It's clear they care about doing things right, which is generally not the case on the island. Well done. ”

- Luana -

“ Returning after two years, we felt pampered by Pietro, a respected acquaintance from my time at Bar Vito, and by Erika, a young waitress, both with kind and gentle manners. Pietro served us with professional experience and discretion, while Erika entertained us with her youthful enthusiasm and friendly personality. The dishes were excellent, even for celiacs, and excellent value. Highly recommended for a quiet and pleasant evening as a couple or with friends. ”
