Eat At These Romantic Restaurants On Your Sicily Honeymoon

It’s often been said that the way to the heart is through the stomach – if that’s true, you should ensure you and your sweetheart make the most of your meals on your Sicily honeymoon. As this part of Italy is surrounded by the sea and blessed with sunshine for most of the year, the cuisine here is legendary; with ingredients ranging from flavourful, succulent tomatoes to only the freshest seafood.

Feast on Italian foods with your favourite person on your Sicily honeymoon – here are some of the best (and most romantic) restaurants in the region.

Hostaria San Pietro

If you want to impress your sweetheart, take him or her to Hostaria San Pietro – however, you’ll want to make sure you book a table well in advance as it’s one of the most popular restaurants in Trapani (a seaside town in the west of the region). What makes this eatery so unique is that the menu is handwritten each and every day on a single sheet of paper, and only uses what is fresh in that morning, be it purchased from the market or fish that have just been caught.

Specialities include Cuscusu alla Trapanese (local saffron-flavoured couscous mixed with fresh seafood, almonds, tomatoes and shellfish), busiate alla Norma (a traditional dish of pasta in a twisted shape with pine nuts, tomatoes and a slice of aubergine), and a house-made antipasti that is served in small ceramic dishes.

I Banchi

Nothing says ‘Sicily honeymoon’ like dining on food prepared by a Michelin-star chef. I Banchi was founded by Ciccio Sultano (a renowned cook whose previous restaurant earned those stars) and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a relaxed setting. The cuisine here is the perfect mix of innovative and traditional, and features fresh-baked bread each day and unique dishes such as zuppa di pesce (a deconstructed meal of red shrimp, monkfish and mussel served on a ceramic tile). Make sure to pair your meal with one of the local wines from their extensive list.

Ristorante Hotel Signum

For an elegant evening out with your sweetheart, have dinner at the lovely boutique Hotel Signum. Their fantastic restaurant is headed up by Martina Caruso, the recipient of several Michelin stars. You can kick your night off with a cocktail or two at the bar as you and your significant other watch the sunset. Once the last rays disappear, head to the dining room for a romantic meal made with indulgent ingredients such as homemade pasta, fresh fish and caper berries. Tasting menus are also available; they range from four to seven courses and come paired with local wines. There’s no better place for you to splash out on your Sicily honeymoon.

You’ve finally married the love of your life and are about to embark on the honeymoon of your dreams – make sure you treat yourself, your sweetheart and your stomach to these fabulous and romantic Sicilian restaurants.
