1. Da Concetta
$$$ | |Feisty Concetta serves a set menu for lunch and dinner from her long terrace, located near the Chiesa San Bartolo.

2. La Grotta
$$$ | |With its dining room set in a cave above the harbor of Santa Maria La Scala, this rustic trattoria specializes in seafood.

The menu is small and simple, but expertly prepared.

3. MEC Restaurant
$$$ | Quattro Canti |Here's a novelty for Palermo in the form of a superb modern restaurant located within a museum dedicated to Steve Jobs and Apple products, a surprisingly successful combination; you not only have the ability to revisit ancient IT devices and learn about the history of the tech company, but the food is pretty excellent. Each of the dishes is a revelation, from the pumpkin with miso and fermented black garlic to the ravioli with stewed veal cheek and pigeon with red-wine scented quince. Vegetarian options are as good as any that Palermo has to offer—best sampled in a set tasting menu. The elevated prices are commensurate with the sophisticated cuisine . The venue is also extraordinary as the restaurant is housed within the Palazzo Castrone, one of the city's finest old palaces, just steps away from the Cathedral and entered through a beautiful courtyard.

4. Quel Che C'e
$$$ | |Palazzolo Acreide has become a bit of a food town in recent years, and this blink-and-you-miss-it spot, housed in an ancient grotto off the main street, is a big part of that. The family-run restaurant offers house antipasti big enough to share (like the unique Mortadella mousse) and a short menu of high-quality entrées including a black lentil risotto. For dessert, don't miss the grape granita: two frozen berries and a lemon semifreddo.
Via Ortocotogno 5, Palazzolo Arceide, Sicily, 96010, Italy328-7773015Known For
- Delicious grape granita for dessert
- Prime location just off the main street

5. Ristorante Pepe Rosa

6. Shalai
$$$ | |You might not expect to find a thoroughly contemporary restaurant on the slopes of Mount Etna, but Shalai, in the boutique hotel of the same name, is truly a modern oasis, where young chef Giovanni Santoro prepares updated and beautifully presented versions of Sicilian classics. For the full Michelin-starred experience, choose from the six-course meat or fish tasting menus; to finish, the deconstructed cannoli are a true delight. Wine pairings skew heavily toward Etna producers.

During the summer season, they often set up alfresco tables directly along the water.

9. Da Silvio
$$$ | |In his humble kitchen, Silvio, a rosy-cheeked fisherman, cooks for his guests as they sit around the table. You might have a simple pasta with tomato sauce, eggplant from his garden, olives cured from his trees, simmered wild greens gathered from the hillsides, and a fish dish (roasted, fried, or sautéed). The menu really depends on what's in season, and more importantly, what Silvio caught that morning from his little wooden fishing boat. You'll eat well, but the food is almost beside the point.
Alicudi, Sicily, Italy333-1994477-GabriellaKnown For

- Seasonal dining at its realest
- True local flavors

10. Il Pesce Azzurro Osteria
$$$ | Ortygia |As the name suggests, this is a temple to everything from the sea, caught fresh and prepared simply. Choose from local clams, prawns anointed with lime, calamari, or whatever else that has been recently caught. Just prepared to book ahead as this is very popular with locals, and a table may be hard to find if you just walk in.
Via Cavour 53, Siracusa, Sicily, 96100, Italy366-2445056Known For

- Lively restaurant packed with locals

11. Il Timone da Enzo
$$$ | |This family-run fish restaurant shaped like a fishing boat was made famous by its frequent appearances in the Inspector Montalbano novels. There is a daily fixed menu (€30) comprising mixed Sicilian antipasti, three "tastes" of pasta, and then a choice among deep-fried calamari, roast prawns, or grilled seabass or bream. Desserts usually include cannoli, gelato a pezzo (an old-fashioned slice of ricotta, pistachio, and chocolate ice cream), and lemon granita. Across the road, a paper mâché figure of Camilleri has been placed at a desk, ready for selfies.
Via Nino Bixio 9, Agrigento, Sicily, 92014, Italy320-2828057Known For

13. Yoi
$$$ | |Admittedly most visitors to Sicily aren't seeking Asian food, but when you've had your fill of caponata, Yoi is the perfect place for a palate refresher. They're known for their dim sum--style offerings (dumplings are charmingly called ravioli here), bao buns, stir-fried noodles, and classics like Peking duck or their take on Nobu's miso-marinated cod. The wine program, run by Leandro Gullino, is one of the best in the area.
