Ruga Reali, Agrigento

A casual osteria , frequented by locals. Under large arches and wooden beams or on the terrace sample a small menu of fish and meat dishes.
Ruvido, Marsala

A new restaurant with creative, fresh dishes based on either fish or meat. A mix of Sicilian and mainland Italian traditions.
Sakalleo, Scoglliti

The menu depends upon what the owner’s fishing boats bring in. The animated owner may also have a glass of wine with you.
Santandrea

In the Vucciria market, Santandrea offers dishes with a twist, such as pasta with squid, fava beans and orange peel (see Santandrea, Palermo).
Santandrea, Palermo

In a narrow lane a few steps from Palermo’s Piazza San Domenico, Santandrea is set in a renovated building where the exposed terracotta, antique rugs, wooden floors and tables create a warm atmosphere. In fine weather tables are set in the piazzetta under the crumbling façade of the church of Sant’Andrea. The friendly staff explain the menu and the Palermitan food is excellent, including interesting pastas, simple and well prepared fresh fish and good desserts (see Santandrea).
Taverna del Pavone, Monreale

A selection of Sicilian favourites with an emphasis on Palermitan specialities in a cozy interior, a stone’s throw from the cathedral.
Trattoria da Pina, Vulcano

Good Aeolian cuisine is served on a dockside terrace at Gelso, with views all the way to Mount Etna.
Trattoria dei Templi, Agrigento

This family-run trattoria has a reputation for its Sicilian menu: try the pasta with swordfish and mint.
Trattoria La Foglia, Syracuse

Eat well in this quirky restaurant where opera blasts out of the speakers, menus are hand-decorated in fake luxurious fabrics, and the decor is homely.
Trattoria Stella

Making the most of the situation, Stella is set in a former hotel in the bombed-out La Kalsa neighbourhood. Spend the evening in the crumbling yet romantic courtyard under palms and jasmine.
