Take a seat in this relaxed family-run place surrounded by vibrant artworks and chatty locals to enjoy tasty homestyle Sicilian cooking. The daily menu is displayed on the blackboard outside, and it leans heavily to classic Italian seafood preparations, as well as some meat and vegetarian dishes, all reasonably priced.
For a cornucopia of baked goods, the Lamonica-Ricciardello family operates the best-value bet in Capo d'Orlando. There's no seating, so it's takeaway only, but you can feast your eyes and salivary glands on a bountiful choice of sweet treats like brioche and various biscotti, both soft and hard, as well as savory bites—including arancini and pizzette.
Stop here to sample every Sicilian sweet imaginable, from freshly made cannoli and biscotti to marzipan confections and gelato. The bar-pasticceria is a local favorite breakfast spot, as evidenced by the crowds who fill the outside terrace, consuming great coffee with their cornetti or brioche with granita.
This is a great spot for breakfast and popular with locals. Stand at the bar for your caffè fix, or pay extra to sit outside and savor a traditional Sicilian breakfast of granita and sweet brioche.
This local institution, which has relocated to the town's new tourist port area, serves gourmet Italian classics—mainly fresh seafood but also few meat options. It's a mile or so out of town (and pricey), so perhaps it's worth the trip if you crave having some fancy food while watching the yachts of the modern marina location.
