Eating & Drinking
There are dozens of restaurants, but the food can be surprisingly mundane and the ubiquit-
ous tourist menus can quickly pall.
Ti Vitti
(
www.ristorantetivitti.com
;
Via Umberto I 34; meals €30-40)
At this up-and-coming eatery named
after a Sicilian card game, talented young chef Vincenzo Collaro whips up divine pasta,
fresh-from-the-market fish dishes and some of the best
cannoli
you'll find anywhere in Si-
cily. His insistence on using only the freshest ingredients means no swordfish out of sea-
son, and special, locally sourced treats such as basilisco mushrooms from the Monte
Madonie.

La Galleria
( 092 142 02 11;
www.lagalleriacefalu.it
; Via Mandralisca 23; meals €25-40; closed Thu year-round

This is about as hip as Cefalù gets. Functioning as a restaurant, cafe, inter-
net point, bookshop and occasional gallery space, La Galleria has an informal vibe, an in-
ternal garden and an innovative menu that mixes standard
primi
and
secondi
with a range
of
piatti unici
(€12-15), each designed to be a meal in itself.
