The Top 19 Restaurants Near Zàghara Restaurant

1. Michelin Guide Selected Restaurant

The dining room still has the old water wheel from when this building actually moved water, and it sets the tone for a restaurant that takes Sicilian tradition and quietly does something personal with it. The chef leans hard into vegetables from the kitchen garden and builds seasonal, creative menus that draw from both the island's coast and its interior. The wine cellar runs to over 1,700 labels, which is a lot for anywhere, let alone Canicattì.

Two small, minimalist dining rooms in a Licata side street are the setting for some of the most quietly confident Sicilian cooking around, backed by two Michelin stars. The chef's approach is unfussy: he lets the island's ingredients argue for themselves, from shellfish pasta to black Nebrodi suckling pig with Sunday gravy. The wine list leans Sicilian too, with serious bottles for the kind of people who notice.

Tucked along the road through Agrigento's archaeological park, this intimate family-run restaurant spreads across two small rooms on different floors. The kitchen leans hard into vegetables, many grown on the family's own farm, folded into a personal take on Sicilian cooking. One brother cooks, another talks wine with real enthusiasm, and their father holds the door. It reads like a passion project, which the family name, loosely meaning "beloved," quietly confirms.

Aged cuts are displayed like exhibits before they ever see the grill, which tells you what Al Pilèr thinks the main event is. It's a meat-forward Sicilian restaurant in the hill-town centre of Nicosia, where the menu rounds out the charred headliners with generous, colour-forward classic dishes that lean slightly creative. The name comes from an old boundary stone that once split the Arab and Norman quarters of town, still partly visible nearby.

Bread that takes four days to leaven tells you roughly where you stand with this rustic Sicilian trattoria, tucked into the pedestrianised centre of a medieval village inside the Parco delle Madonie. The kitchen keeps things firmly regional, letting the surrounding countryside dictate the menu. Antipasto arrives as a rotating spread of local vegetables, cheese, meat, and mushrooms. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and priced like the countryside it cooks from.

Nangalarruni is named for an ancient Sicilian mouth instrument, the kind of folk-music detail that tells you this place takes its roots seriously. It's a regional restaurant tucked into Castelbuono's historic center, with stone and wood inside and a courtyard for summer. The kitchen works through traditional Madonie Park recipes, and the mushrooms that come out of those hills earn real attention. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand.

Fine dining in a garden overlooking the bay, the Caldura sea stacks, and the Rocca above Cefalù, with the kind of view that makes you forget you ordered three courses. The kitchen works Sicilian ingredients through a genuinely creative lens, running a vegetable-focused menu that moves through local herbs and flowers without ever tasting virtuous about it. The sustainable approach extends to using every scrap of each ingredient, which sounds like homework but shows up as flavor.

A beach club restaurant on the Sicilian coast where the loungers and umbrellas are part of the deal, and in summer the windows fold back so the whole room becomes a terrace. The kitchen follows the lead of multi-starred chef Perbellini, reworking Sicilian flavors, seafood and otherwise, with a modern hand. The vegetarian dishes get the same serious attention as everything else, which is not always a given at the seaside.
