I didn't know this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, the kindness and patience of the staff who were very considerate towards my celiac wife. The food, all seafood, was exquisite, fresh, plentiful, and cooked wonderfully. A minor flaw was the lack of soap in the bathroom, which was otherwise clean, like the rest of the place. What can I say? If I find myself in Cefalù again in the future, I won’t hesitate to visit you again. Thank you and compliments to everyone 👍🏻🤗

Great for high quality and not an exaggerated price. We had 2 fish dishes and drank a very special sparkling rosé prosecco, spending 112 euros. My table neighbors, all young, had pizzas and were very happy. The only downside is the paper napkins. Otherwise, it’s worth it. If you have celiacs, I recommend the paccheri; they are not just good, they are exquisite.

Wonderful location, quality food, and excellent cuisine... and an authentic added value is the particular attention to gluten-free options... I highly recommend it for celiacs and non-celiacs! TOP!

I want to leave a review as objective as possible, despite my anger pushing me to do otherwise, considering the terrible quality of the food (not even in the worst corporate cafeterias) and the absolute lack of professionalism from the manager. I should mention that before me, my companion left a review, but it was too brief and does not clearly explain what actually happened. I'll start by listing my shortcomings, for which I believe I have justifications of good faith, something I don't think the restaurateur has. My shortcoming is specifically that I did not immediately express my complaints, but I will explain why. So, yesterday I called this establishment asking if they offered gluten-free, yeast-free, and lactose-free cuisine. The girl on the phone assured me they could guarantee both first courses, meaning gluten-free pasta, and also a possible fish fry made with rice flour. Here’s the first inconvenience: we arrive today at the time of ordering and I am informed that they don’t make pasta, but can only season the rice with the condiments listed on the menu. So, although I was annoyed, I ordered it anyway since I eat rice and it’s not a huge issue. The appetizers arrive, not good at all, octopus so tough and rubbery that there wasn't enough time to say how terrible it was, fish fry of the same quality. Here’s my mistake: seeing the restaurant full and empathizing with the managers who are working, I decide not to complain, hoping for the best. The rice arrives: good flavor, but the swordfish, as my companion already mentioned, must have been left in the sea. Again, I hope for the second course. It arrives, and I can’t believe it: the shrimp is so soaked in ammonia, in such quantities that it burns the tongue. So I call the manager. His justifications: even though the girl assured gluten-free pasta, they, due to internal choices, actually only serve rice and don’t see anything wrong if the girl on the phone says one thing for another. Additionally, incredibly, it is normal for the shrimp to be soaked in ammonia because it’s Argentinian shrimp. When I counter that it’s normal to have ammonia, but not at levels that burn the mouth, he continues to insist that even in such quantities it’s normal because it’s Argentinian shrimp. I didn’t respond anymore, paid the bill (€100.50 for appetizer, first course, and second course) without batting an eye and left vowing never to return. TERRIBLE!!!!

Excellent experience on all fronts. We searched on Google for a restaurant/pizzeria in Cefalù. Via Roma Vecchia... what can I say... scenery, courtesy of the staff, exceptional gluten-free cuisine. I tasted the gluten-free pasta with clams, I found no difference... very good job... and above all, it was delicious.... (I practically finished it myself....)

A discreet seafood restaurant. Very good pizza, homemade gluten-free doughs but not very good. The quality of the fish is really excellent, almost all fresh. Strong and delicate flavors at the same time. The fixed menus are the weak point, the price is too low for the quality (€19), you find yourself facing fish dishes without fish. Raw dish only from €25, also very bare, I would have preferred menus and dishes with various prices, specifying the content. The staff was almost always kind, only one of them was a bit hyper. A place I recommend, but ask well if you want to eat fish.
