The 19 best bars and drinks in the Aegadian Islands

Visited on a friday evening, the music was good and it had a lovely vibe. Lovely selection of drinks

Been here for breakfast. The place is awesome, amazingly furnished! The cannolo Présentation was jaw-dropping, with pistacchio cream and dark chocolate around. So one can eat it without them (as tradition dictates) or dip in the pistacchio to get a new twist. They also improvised a fruit bowl upon request. Friendliness and attention to details are high on their priority list.

We loved the cocktails and complementary aperitivo piatto.

Great spot for people watching and for 8 euros you select your wine (local and delicious) and have delicacies form the land (and sea). Very nice aperitivo!

Good Campari Spritz and Negroni.

Good cocktails and good complimentary appetizers. The house cocktails are a bit overpriced but the classics are ok

Really great place for an aperitivo in the sun. We came here twice on 3 days and loved it. Negroni is delicious as are the (seemingly bottomless) snacks

The pistachio espresso not only looks intriguing, it actually tastes great too! My bf was staring at the espresso and thought he was crazy as he’s never seen something like it before. The man working there noticed and told us to try it. So happy we did and we definitely recommend to try when you arrive or depart from Favignana!

Super nice service! I had the pistachio espresso and it was magical. Thank you!

Very small and tasteless granita, arancina was given to me cold

Cheap and cheerful. Try the cafe al pistachio, its excellent

(Translated by Google) The rather hidden and vintage bar does not seem to pay attention. Then looking for a bit of shade I read pistachio coffee. Divine and a must try. Even granitas. The owner is very welcoming. They also sell pistachio cream, so you can then make the typical coffee at home. A special souvenir. (Original) Il bar piuttosto nascosto, e vintage, sembra non dare attenzione. Poi cercando un po d'ombra leggo caffè al pistacchio. Divino e assolutamente da provare. Anche granite. Molto accogliente il titolare. Vendono anche la crema al pistacchio, per poi fare a casa il tipico caffè. Un souvenir particolare.

(Translated by Google) A true port bar, colorful and passionate, surrounded by equally interesting places! But the pistachio coffee is a true culinary orgasm! Returned twice (Original) Un vero bar di porto, colorito e appassionato, circondato da locali altrettanto interessanti! Ma il caffè al pistacchio è un vero orgasmo culinario! Tornati due volte

(Translated by Google) ☕ Negative Review – Bar “U Marinaru”, Favignana Unfortunately, I have to say that the coffee I drank at this bar was among the worst on the island. Wherever this brand is available, the taste is always the same: undrinkable, burnt, and flavorless. A real shame, especially in a place like Favignana, where you expect to enjoy even a simple break with gusto. Luckily, there are two or three places on the island that still respect the tradition of good Italian coffee, but this isn't one of them. Favignana deserves better, even in small gestures like a cup of coffee. (Original) ☕ Recensione negativa – Bar “U Marinaru”, Favignana Purtroppo devo dire che il caffè bevuto in questo bar è stato tra i peggiori dell’isola. Dove c’è questo marchio, il gusto è sempre lo stesso: imbevibile, bruciato, senza aroma. Un vero peccato, soprattutto in un posto come Favignana, dove ci si aspetta di godersi anche una semplice pausa con gusto. Per fortuna sull’isola ci sono 2 o 3 locali che ancora rispettano la tradizione del buon caffè italiano, ma questo non è uno di quelli. Favignana merita di più, anche nei piccoli gesti come una tazzina di caffè.

Cornetto al pistachio was amazing!! Their gelato and sandwiches are so good as well! Highly recommended 😍

Lovely place, tasty and high quality food, friendly and kind waiters especially lady with short hair

We stopped here just on a whim and we were pleasently suprised. The waiter was super super nice and the ambience was very quaint and cozy. The tuna bruschetta surprised us a lot, especially the tuna heart. And please ask for the cannolo! Its amazing!

We had breakfast here almost every day during our 5-day stay on the island. The coffee and crossiants are amazing. Special recommendation - Caffè al Pistacchio. Friendly staff. The best cafe on the island.

Good little cafe on the square. Have vegan options 💚

Nice place to grab breakfast when you just arrived in Favignana by ferry - it’s an under 5 min walk away. Great sandwiches/ toasts if you like to eat meat. They however could not prepare a vegetarian sandwich (not even a toast with just cheese), so I ended up getting a tiny bun with a piece of iceberg and a slice of tomato. The pistachio croissant was incredible - best one I had in Sicily so far!! So I definitely recommend trying the croissants here.

Best gelato I’ve ever had in my life, this actually blew my mind. Combination pistachio and Nutella made in heaven!!

The best setting in Marettimo, amazing sunset and great aperitivos, very friendly and welcoming staff, absolutely not to miss the Pinza with mortadella and pistachios!

We came here a few times on our trip as the place was very nicely placed, a little bit of a view and the staff were very nice. they serve these lovely panini sandwiches which are worth the money considering the rest if the island can be a bit pricey. the drinks are good here also and the gelato and granite, are great and well priced also. I recommend bringing cash and 3 out of 3 times we visited the card machine would not connect or was not working.

Loved that place. Great fresh made food and granitas. The owner is local and speaks great english. Met the local museum keeper who is full of information.

This is a cafe with a view on the sea and the island castle. Ideal for breakfast (I had a cappuccino and pistachios’ croissant) in the morning and great for the “aperitivo” (the spritz is quite good and unbalanced with more % of Prosecco comparing to London) to watch the amazing sunsets of this island. The drinks are always served with some food in the best Italian traditions. Recommended

Very nice atmosphere! Thank you

This is a place that is well suited for the environment and the island. If you take into account Marettimo and its people, then you will not get disappointed. The views are great, the owner personable, and the options adequate. Keep expectations low, quality of life high, and a willingness to indulge in the pace of the island. It is then that in its charm this place will not disappoint.

Beside the unique location and view, it is a soul place, from breakfast until late. Service is not only good, it is pleasant and attentive. I tried many different wines, cocktails, gelati, granite and panini during my week stay. Everything hasn’t this incomparable Sicilian touch of encore !

Very, very expensive, two small panini eu30.00 two gins eu20.00 a pathetic excuse for a brioche ice cream with only chocolate and vanilla flavor eu5.00 add two more beers and a cannolo and this guy just made over 80 bucks off me, from a flippin kiosk... tourist trap for sure

Nice views, friendly staff, cold beer and great food. Place to go: Yes!

Great spot for a snack, an aperitivo or lunch. You can see the sunset from here and you're not far from nice beaches. Paninis are good too!

Great location for breakfast, for lunch and aperitivo. I happened to be here one week, I could work from this location thanks to Wi-Fi. I felt blessed. Very good quality, very nice staff. I’ll be back.

What a spot for a beer and a jump in the blue see

Great place to see the sunset with some good tunes

Amazing location, great drinks and very friendly staff! Absolutely recommended 👍🏻🚀

Terrible service, really unpleasant waitress, on the bill the same positions just different prices. I don’t recommend. Ice cream just ok.

Excellent service on behalf of the waiters! After just 2 visits, they knew my order by heart. The prices are very reasonable and the view of the square is perfect. I highly suggest if you find yourself in Favignana center!

Hot food was just food stuck in a broken microwave was still cold when received and disgusting after taste not even the ice cream could save it. I'll gladly not come back if I didn't have to taste a cold calzone again

The worst service I have ever seen. I have no idea for what I have paid. Bill is unreadable.

Not even able to serve coffees in a decent way. The waitresses are incapable and they misunderstood the orders of us and the others close customers.

Honestly the worst and the most rude service in whole Italy.

Terrible service, the waitress was very rude. Ice cream cones where bitter.

Really not sure why others have rated this place so low…interacted with maybe four workers and all were so lovely and kind — smiling and eager to help — from the man who served us our gelato to the woman who collected our coffee cups to the man behind the register. Had a lovely cappuccino, delicious hazelnut gelato and some of the best pistachio gelato I’ve had in Sicily. Will be coming back tomorrow! Hope this place’s star rating improves because it’s deserved!

The food was good, workers are also experienced and nice. One thing that was weird was when we ordered some shrimp, but the worker asked us if we want some tuna tartare with it, we said sure, thinking that it came with the meal and no price. But as we paid, the price for it was €17,00! I mean, it was good but for such a price..? I would say that if you’re ordering the shrimp meal, say no to the tartare. And anyway, I ordered a delicious risotto, but the shrimp was chewy and not very good. Overall, food was okay.

We ate there today after getting off a boat tour, the place is nice and the service was good. We ordered 3 parrechi pasta with lobster for 28 euro each, which was the special of the day. The pasta had a nice taste, Unfortunately, the lack of lobster in the dishes for what we were charged is what I was disappointed with.

We paid 32 euro for 2 shrimps and 2 scampi. Obviously a rip off. Food is not bad, but the way they rip us off is too blatant.

It was really a bad experience having a lunch at this place. We orders 4 dishes and water, total price 70 euro. Two skinny gils went out still hungry!! The plates are so small, you can’t get full. The qualities food is very poor. Our tuna was too dry and octopus burned. When we said that we didn’t enjoy the food, we’ve got zero response and no reaction. DONT GO THERE!!! Bad place, bad food, bad service!

We asked for a table for 7 people, there were free tables, and we were told that becuase of Easter weekend we need to pay min 50 euro per person consumer fee. Ridicilous!! We turned around.

One of the best places to see the sunset in Favignana, but we missed it 😅

Amazing sunset location, fast service and the food and drinks were perfect

Nice bar for sunset. I would suggest playing more suitable music, which plays a big part in setting the mood. There is a stone wall around the property which blocks the view on the ocean. The view is also blocked by parking.

Perfect spot to watch the stunning sunset ! No need for reservation if you don't need a table, just go to the bar, grab a drink, walk to the beach, find a comfy rock to sit and enjoy the moment!

I had a very good aperitivo in a nice location with an excellent Birra Messina. A bit remote from the center of Favignana, but definitively worth the ride!

Best spot on the island to watch the sunset. During the day you can come here for all kinds of drinks and then go back to relaxing by the water. Come on time though, to make sure you have a good seat to watch the sun set :)

Magical spot for sunset

Appalling. Don’t waste your time here. The rudest and unfriendliest place I’ve ever been to. Head up the road for a few more minutes and go to Caffe Tramontana instead.

Perfect place for a beer and aranchini. I am strongly recommend

(Translated by Google) Rude staff, breakfast entirely with frozen products. The only thing I thought could be fresh was a tart: left entirely after the first taste because it was raw shortcrust pastry and had a cloying taste. I point it out and still get charged since “other customers didn't complain”. Uneducated staff and, unfortunately as found in many islanders, totally unsuitable for relations with the public. (Original) Personale scortese, colazione interamente con prodotti surgelati. L’unica cosa che pensavo potesse essere fresca era una crostata: lasciata interamente dopo il primo assaggio perche pasta frolla cruda e sapore stucchevole. Lo faccio notare e mi viene comunque fatta pagare poiché “gli altri clienti non si sono lamentati”. Personale ineducato e , purtroppo come riscontrato in molti isolani, totalmente inadatto alle relazioni con il pubblico.

(Translated by Google) Arancino "abbuddatu" in oil and canary yellow, salad with raw ham from Chernobyl for the color, and so on and so forth. Horror service! And as such, I say to you: don't open that door! Or if you prefer: get out! (Original) Arancino "abbuddatu" nell'olio e giallo canarino, insalata con crudo proveniente da chernobyl per il colore e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Servizio horror! E in quanto tale vi dico: non aprire quella porta! O ancora se lo preferite: get out - scappa!

(Translated by Google) The waitress was unfriendly. The margarita pizza was served without basil and without warning. There was no discount for this. We paid for two pizzas. (Original) La serveuse n'est pas aimable. La pizza margarita est servie sans basilic et sans que nous ne soyons prévenus. Pas de remise pour ce manque. Nous avons payé deux couverts pour une pizza.

(Translated by Google) We certainly weren't expecting gourmet cuisine, but we told ourselves it's hard to eat badly in Italy, but our expectations were greatly disappointed. The vastase potatoes for two (small portion) were reheated terribly, some pieces were completely raw, the rest were hot on the outside and cold on the inside. Two terrible pizzas, the toppings falling off the dough, and the ingredients were of extremely poor quality. We drank a bottled water and a beer, all for €37.50, which was definitely too much considering everything else. The icing on the cake was the lack of greeting when we left the restaurant after paying. Terrible across the board. (Original) Di certo non ci aspettavamo la cucina gourmet, ma ci siamo detti che in Italia è difficile mangiare male, ma le nostre aspettative sono state ampiamente deluse. Patate vastase x 2 (porzione piccola) riscaldate malissimo, alcuni pezzi erano completamente crudi, il resto caldo fuori e freddo dentro, 2 pizze terrificanti, il condimento si staccava completamente dell'impasto, ingredienti di scarsissima qualità. Abbiamo bevuto un'acqua e una birra in bottiglia, il tutto per 37,50€, decisamente troppo tenendo conto di tutto. La ciliegina sulla torta è stata il mancato saluto all'uscita dal locale dopo aver pagato. Pessimo su tutta la linea.

(Translated by Google) Despite the 3.4 star reviews, I have to say that I had a good time. The pistachio granita was good but perhaps a little watery, I would recommend chopping the pistachios into small pieces. Really excellent ice cream in the cup. very kind and helpful people, and above all nice (Original) a discapito delle 3,4 stelle di recensioni, devo dire che mi sono trovato bene. La granita al pistacchio era buona ma forse un po' acquosa, consiglierei di tritare un minimo i pistacchi a pezzettini. Gelato in coppa davvero ottimo. persone molto gentile e disponibile, e soprattutto simpatico

Stopped by really because they had nice music and a good vibe going. Started with a drink and ended up ordering dinner as well. Oh my this unassuming place turned out an excellent dinner with a fresh mixed salad and then The pasta with tuna, mint and the breadcrumbs, wow delicious. Such great flavor and an excellent size portion. Attentive and helpful service was really nice. Absolutely positively recommend popping in and checking them out.

Staff is kind and helpful, the cocktails are balanced and the food is great. Totally recommended. Um abraço de Portugal

Delicious, superfresh food! The most tender 🐙 I have eaten in my life. Short menu = great dishes. Can only recommend!

Highly recommend pistachio pasta with seafood

Great food with a charming view on the port

Food was ok, but the staff were very inattentive and the wine recommendation was completely off (asked for anything not sweet and got a treacly sweet sparkling wine) There’s better places nearby.

Me and my husband went there because we saw the good reviews on google maps and decided to go for it because since we have been in Sicily for 20days we relied on them.Let me tell you the food tasted disgusting, we started with the mussel soup, I think they used too much white wine to cook it and it tasted so bitter plus it came so quick so I think it was premade and didn’t taste fresh at all, then we had to wait for almost 30min for our dishes to come, we ordered seafood couscous and pasta with shrimp and pistachio pesto sauce.It also tasted so bitter the pistachio used was probably not good quality and the seafood on the couscous was burnt which made the semolina also taste bitter it was uneatable.We even asked them if the signature of the restaurant was bitter after taste because we couldn’t believe that everything we ordered tasted bad.We sent back the dishes and when it was time for the bill they tried to make us pay the full amount when we didn’t even eat the two dishes, they kept trying to lower the price by a few euros but we said no we will only pay for the cocktail and the mussels since that was what we finished.During this whole time they had a nasty attitude as if the servers own the restaurant!!! The boss was also there and he didn’t even take the time to apologize, none of them did just kept acting up.And then later the night my husband got sick but since we had to leave the island we couldn’t go back to see the bottom of it.We spent our last day in Sicily just in the hotel bought some medicine and couldn’t eat anything because he got food poisoning.Worst experience in favignana and worst restaurant.

Amazing sea view bar with very good cocktails freshly shaked on the beach.

A must-visit spot on the island of Favignana! I didn’t try the food, but the high-quality, crafted cocktails were outstanding. The view of the turquoise water added to the experience, making it the perfect place to relax during the day. With great music, friendly staff, and expertly made drinks, this place truly stands out. If you’re looking for top-tier cocktails with a stunning view, this is the place to be. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Favignana!

The people that run this bar are crooks. They short changed me by 20 euros by using a well known scam. Taking a 20 euro note then asking for change from which they took the cost of the bill, but keeping the note. I didn't notice at the time sadly.

An unbelievably bad experience. We sat down and asked if we could pay by card. The waiter very kindly said yes. When the boss saw that we only ordered an aperitif and two cocktails, she told us very aggressively to leave because they didn't have a card payment system. Also everything was dirty with drinks and uncollected food from previous customers. Not recommended.

Nice place to have a drink with a great selection but late night staff let it down by forcing customers out 2 hours earlier then the closing time that was advertised, by collecting up empty chairs,turning off the music and walking up to each remaining customer to pay for their bill, we left as well as 12 other customers 2 hours earlier then closing time when each customer would have been more then willing to pay for more drinks in them two hours I feel sorry for the owner who’s down money by them closing early and paying them for two hours they aren’t working, asked a member of staff why they are closing earlier then advertised and it was only then they weren’t able to understand English.

The service was super nice. I would like to give a great appreciation to Alessandro(I am not sure spell like it or not)! I got lock out from my airbnb due to the wind. He helped me a lot. I was super thankful. The food was also great. I had pistachio croissant and cappuccino that tasted great! Thanks again to Alessandro!🥰

My favorite spot in Favignana – perfect for a coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening.

No comment🙈🙈

(Translated by Google) Very nice place to have an aperitif. Excellent for drinking a beer in the company of friends and eating a local aperitif while enjoying a splendid view of the sunset. A must visit (Original) Graziosissimo posto per fare l'aperitivo Ottimo per bere una birra in compagnia di amici e mangiare un aperitivo locale godendo di una splendida vista il tramonto da visitare assolutamente

(Translated by Google) Spectacular sunset with a view of Marettimo. Very kind and well-stocked Ciccio, bruschetta, cunzato bread and much more. (Original) Tramonto spettacolare con vista su marettimo. Ciccio gentilissimo e ben fornito, bruschette pane cunzato e molto altro.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place with equipped beach.. Bar restaurant service.. Stunning sea (Original) Bellissimo posto con spiaggia attrezzata.. Servizio bar ristorante.. Mare stupendo

(Translated by Google) Excellent local food. Quality wine and beer. Honest prices. Very friendly. (Original) Cibo locale ottimo. Vino e birra di qualità. Prezzi onesti. Molto cordiali.

(Translated by Google) We arrived for an aperitif at 12.30. They were already busy for lunch so we had two beers. Unwelcoming staff. A little expensive and be careful to take a shower for a few seconds as the cost is 2 euros! (Original) Siamo arrivate per fare un aperitivo alle 12.30. Erano già occupati per il pranzo dunque abbiamo preso due birre. Staff non accogliente. Un po' caro e occhio a farvi una doccia di qualche secondo in quanto il costo è di 2 euro!

(Translated by Google) What should I recommend? The location? The service? But come on please guys when you vote, think first... you are voting for a LOCAL that doesn't exist! Obviously it's nice to have a drink when you have nothing around you... But not 5 stars! prices for a street vendor are certainly too high. (Original) Che cosa dovrei consigliare? La location? Il servizio? Ma dai per favore ragazzi quando votate, riflettete prima... state votando un LOCALE che non c'è! Ovviamente fa piacere bere qualcosa quando intorno hai il nulla... Ma le 5 stelle anche no! prezzi per un ambulante sicuramente troppo alti.
