A weekend dedicated entirely to Sicilian food - it’s the sort of plan that instantly lifts the spirits, isn’t it? Whether you’re dreaming of golden coastlines, bustling markets or long, lazy lunches, Sicily has a way of turning even the shortest getaway into something unforgettable.

To help you make the most of your trip, we’ve taken a look at the top 10 restaurant and food spots highlighted on TripAdvisor. From street-food gems to artisanal bakeries and family-run favourites, here’s a curated list of places worth visiting on your next foodie adventure across the island.

Siracusa

Steeped in history and shimmering Mediterranean light, Siracusa is one of Sicily’s most atmospheric cities. From the baroque beauty of its cathedral to the maze-like alleys of Ortigia, the city effortlessly blends past and present.

TripAdvisor recommends the much-loved Caseificio Borderi in Ortigia (via Emmanuele de Benedictis, 6), famed for its generous boards piled high with fresh “tricotta”, smoked mozzarella and local cured meats - a perfect stop for a leisurely lunch by the sea.

Castellammare del Golfo

Nestled along its namesake gulf, Castellammare del Golfo is a charming coastal town where fishing boats bob gently beneath an impressive medieval castle. It’s the kind of place where every corner seems to offer a picture-perfect view.

Here you’ll find “I Sapori Sicilian Grill Restaurant”, a must-visit for meat lovers. Reviewers praise the antipasti - especially the lean lardo and pistachio salami, both rich in flavour and unmistakably Sicilian.

Sciacca

A lively coastal town known for its fishing traditions, thermal springs, and vibrant ceramics, Sciacca is also home to some of Sicily’s tastiest street food.

Two local favourites make TripAdvisor’s top 10: Porta Vagnu (a sandwich and kebab spot) and La Focaccia dal 1990, both located in Piazza Saverio Friscia. When it comes to high-quality street food, Sciacca truly delivers.

Bronte

Bronte sits on the slopes of Mount Etna and is widely celebrated for its world-famous pistachios - the emerald-green pride of the region. With historic churches and the striking Nelson Castle just outside the town, it’s a destination rich in charm.

TripAdvisor points to “L’angolo dei Sapori” in via Duca degli Abruzzi, a pasticceria specialising in exquisite pistachio-based sweets. A must for anyone with a sweet tooth.

San Vito Lo Capo

Famous for its bright turquoise waters and powder-white beach, San Vito Lo Capo has become one of Italy’s most sought-after seaside escapes.

Come summer, the town bursts into life with festivals and events - the biggest of which is the internationally renowned Cous Cous Fest. While exploring, pop into the deli-wine shop Peraino, loved for its high-quality cured meats and traditional “pane cunzato”.

Avola

Avola is synonymous with two Sicilian icons - almonds and Nero d’Avola wine - but the town itself, with its elegant historic centre, deserves attention in its own right.

In Piazza Umberto I you’ll find “Veni a tastari”, a bakery-deli praised for its delicious takes on “pane cunzato”. A well-loved stop for both locals and visitors.

Paternò

Paternò, with roots reaching back before Greek times, sits at the foot of Mount Etna. Today it’s a bustling town and an excellent base for exploring the volcanic countryside.

TripAdvisor recommends the pizzeria “Rimini” (via Gianbattista Nicolosi), run by the Camonita brothers - award-winning acrobatic pizza champions. A fun and flavourful stop.

Comiso

A pearl of Sicilian baroque architecture, Comiso offers elegant streets lined with churches and palaces, including the Naselli Castle and the Basilica dell’Annunziata.

In via G. Di Vita, 17, you’ll find Cantunera, a beloved spot appearing in TripAdvisor’s top 10. As one reviewer beautifully put it, it’s “more than a place to taste Sicilian specialities - it’s a crossroads of culture, friendship, street food, and warm hospitality”.

Aidone

Aidone is a small hill town in the province of Enna, surrounded by some of Sicily’s most fascinating archaeological and natural landscapes. Nearby lie the ancient site of Morgantina, the Arab-Norman Pietratagliata Castle and the splendid Roman Villa of Piazza Armerina.

In the square beside the town museum you’ll find “La Piazzetta del Museo”, a bar-pasticceria noted for its delightful pastries, including treats made with cicerchia - a traditional legume of the region.

We hope this little guide has tempted you to plan your own delicious escape to Sicily. With its unforgettable landscapes, rich history and irresistible flavours, it’s a weekend you’ll not regret - promise.
