Trip to Sicily!
A sensory journey through my Sicily awaits you in my little world.
Here, you'll taste authentic homemade cuisine, rich in Mediterranean flavors and aromas that speak of family, tradition, and love.
Every dish tells a story — mine.
A Sicilian story, made of memories, passion, and a deep connection to my land.
From the famous arancino to pasta alla Norma, from caponata to rolls Sicilian-style, from fresh pasta with swordfish to the beloved cannolo — every bite is a little piece of Sicily.
Welcome to Sicily. Welcome home, Lilli
Sicily in the heart,
Sicily in the heart,
taste in every dish!

Book in advance!
Book in advance!
Every dish is prepared fresh, with care and passion, to offer you an authentic taste experience.
My place is a small, family-run restaurant where every recipe takes time, attention, and fresh ingredients.
Reservations mean a lot to me!
They help me plan better in the kitchen, reduce waste, and most importantly — make sure your favorite dish is ready at the time you prefer, without the wait.
Thank you for your support, and for choosing food made with love.
Eat in or Take away
Eat in or Take away
My restaurant was born as a takeaway, but I also wanted to create a cozy space where you can sit down and enjoy my dishes at your own pace, if you wish.
There’s no table service — you simply order and choose where to sit, in total freedom.
You can even reserve a table and pre-order your favorite dishes, so everything is ready for you when you arrive.
It’s a simple concept that allows me to reduce waste, keep quality high, and offer you authentic food at a truly fair price.
Whether you choose to eat here or take it away, the goodness is always the same.
Every dish is freshly prepared, using carefully selected ingredients — because that’s the only way I can truly share my Sicily with you.
And as I take you on this journey through flavor, I do it with care for the environment too: all the packaging and utensils I use are compostable or recyclable, so your experience is not only delicious, but also conscious and sustainable.
