Welcome!
Mandello del Lario
A sensory journey through Sicily awaits you at my Sicilian restaurant!
Here, you’ll enjoy genuine home-style cooking, full of bold Mediterranean flavors and aromas that will win you over from the very first bite.
I’ll guide you through the traditional dishes of Sicilian cuisine, enriched with my personal touch inspired by the culinary heritage of Sicily - the place I come from, my roots, my story.
From the famous arancino to the irresistible cannolo, from classic pasta alla Norma and caponata to sicilian veal and chicken rolls, and of course, seafood specialties like our beloved fresh pasta with seafood, which captures the very soul of the sea.
Welcome to Sicily. Welcome home, Lilli
Every dish is freshly prepared, with care and passion, to offer you an authentic taste experience.
My restaurant is a small, family-run place where every dish takes time, attention, and fresh ingredients.
Reservations truly mean a lot to me!
They help me organize the kitchen more efficiently, reduce food waste, and—most importantly—make sure your favorite dish is ready at the time you prefer, with no waiting.
Thank you for your support and for choosing food made with love.
