Ti Vitti
(

; 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 Sicily.
His insistence on using only the freshest ingredients means no swordfish out of season,
and special locally sourced treats such as basilisco mushrooms from the Monte Madonie.
In winter, the menu gets stripped down to three
antipasti
, three
primi
and three
secondi
,
all super-fresh based on what's available at the market that morning.

This is about as hip as Cefalù gets. Functioning as a restaurant, cafe, internet point,
bookshop and occasional gallery space, La Galleria has an informal vibe, an elegant in-
ternal garden and an innovative menu that mixes standard
primi
and
secondi
with a range
of all-in-one dishes (€12 to €15) designed to be meals in themselves.
Ostaria del Duomo

For full-on views
of the cathedral and the Rocca while you dine, nothing compares to this touristy spot with
outdoor tables facing the cathedral. Its reputation for serving fresh dishes utilising locally
sourced produce makes it a safe choice. Try the house speciality of
carpaccio de pesce
(raw, thinly sliced fish), accompanied by your selection from the extensive wine list.
