Worth the trip. Cefalu is a charming town. I had seen the church towers while at the beach. We made a second day trip from Palermo (45 minute train ride) to tour the Duomo and the town. This church is magnificent and a must see if you’re in the area. I wonder at the skills of ancient artisans who built this with primitive tools. Please do not miss visiting this wonderful church and spotless little gem of a town!

Great spot to bring food and drinks and watch the sunset!

Everything we ate was delicious. Watching the waves crash against the rocks was very pleasant, though I wish I hadn’t missed the sunset. The staff were friendly and attentive.

It’s a solid 4* in our opinion, but giving 5* to get their rating up. We liked the food, we got looked after and felt their rating wasn’t a fair reflection of our experience. We stopped because we have a baby and 7pm is her bedtime, so anyone who serves food at 4-6pm suits us better (not very Italian I know), but Molo19 had us covered at about 5pm… Bresaola, rocket and Parmesan starter with the salmon and carbonara pastas, fast service, decent portions and genuinely really tasty. Pasta was al dente, carbonara was authentic, and salmon was fresh! Epic view of the mountains and sea, a very buzzy corner of the main town, we threw a few drinks in and people watched. I reckon it goes off given a later time, it felt like that kinda place.

A magnificent place but you can miss lots of little beauties if you are walking through the old town without a proper guide. This is the place where it’s worth to have the knowledge

la dolce vita! these words are redefined when you are actually in italy, particularly in sicily. life really became sweet while i was exploring the narrow streets of Cefalù. starting with breakfast at piazza del duomo, a lazy afternoon at spiaggia kalura, and evening strolling around the beach side, i found new meaning to what italians call la vita. what really made the whole day feel magical was a dinner at le petit tonneau. if you think that what qualifies for ‘dolce vita’ is necessarily a ride on an expensive yacht, dinner at a michelin restaurant, or lavish shopping, you may not be wrong. but i think that italian ‘dolce vita’ proposes simplicity. simplicity in flavors, experiences and leisure. owners of this enoteca offer exactly that. they offer a simple menu, great variety of wine and a cozy table at their terrace. and let me tell you, that was quite enough to enjoy this sweet life to the fullest. the fish and bruschetta plate was so simple and beautiful. all the ingredients were authentic and delicious. their bruschettas, especially pistachio pesto one was to die for. smoked fish, arugula, lemon - that might not be a lot, but it is all you need for an immaculate dinner. pair it with white wine, suggested by the owners (i’m a big rookie in wines), and dive into la dolce vita, white the sun sets on the horizon. to get a seating at the terrace you need to book in advance for a one hour slot, which is a perfect amount, if you know how to really enjoy this italian life. during that hour i saw the sun set under the horizon and the sky change its colors so many times. simplicity of it all really allowed me to soak up the sweetness of life to the very last bit, until it was time to leave. i really want to just say ‘grazzie mille’ again to the beautiful owners of le petit tonneau. you guys are amazing and I do hope to be able to visit your beautiful place again and again!!!

The best place to hangout and have a good time. The staff is very friendly, cheerful and smiling. The food is executive and varied, you must try the mozzarella bruschetta. I hope to go to Sicily again and definitely visit them. All praise 😁😁😁

Great service and prime location due to their terrace overlooking the sea. It was quite windy but since the terrace was covered, it was very pleasant. The waiters were very attentive and friendly, giving good recommendations. The food was locally-sourced - we ordered the fish of the day and the seafood risotto which were delicious.

Amazing experience! Everything was absolutely perfect. I booked a table in advance and they regarded my wish to sit by the sea. We ordered the best vegan Italian pizza and the olive oils were also very delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. The menu had many vegetarian and vegan options! The non alcoholic aperol spritz was very delicious as well. 10/10 ⭐️

This small family focacceria was our favourite place for lunch in Cefalu. They have the best Foccacia with rosemary I ever had. Make sure you come early othervise is sold out. We visited a few times because everything was fresh, home made and tasty. I love the place like this one, with real sicilian atmosphere, no-commercial, family running. Definitely reccommend.

The water is clean, clear, and perfect for swimming and very refreshing. The beach can get quite crowded, especially in high season, but the atmosphere is still amazing. Everything was well maintained and tidy. What I also liked is that there’s convenient parking right by the beach for a small fee, which makes the visit very easy. Overall, a beautiful place to relax and swim. Definitely worth it if you are in Sicily!

WORTH THE WAIT. Excellent fresh pasta with a variety of preparations and sauces that you can customize all made to order, All delicious perfectly seasoned perfectly prepared. The octopus salad was delicious fresh and perfect texture. Only open for lunch but late, expect to wait 20 minutes definitely worth the wait as you will not eat better pasta anywhere in Cefalu. Each dish is prepared, lovingly and carefully.

A fantastic little place. Whether you're looking for a moment of quiet reflection or simply want to enjoy a break from the heat, this hidden retreat is a must-visit. If you’re ever in the area during the hotter months, definitely make a trip down here. You won't be disappointed!

Amazingly fresh Panini . All slices cut fresh before being put on a crispy bun. I was very satisfied. Thank You. and... funny thing... I found that it doesn't make sense to prepare panini myself, which I tried to do well the day before. It didn't work out for me either cheaper or better. However, I recommend it to the specialists from this bar.

We had the best night here. So lucky to get a table looking out to sea. The food is delicious and it was so lovely just to sit and eat taking in the sea vibes. Listening to the waves (it was stormy)🤣. We had a had a good laugh with the staff as my partner was trying to speak Italian and called the fish a peach 🍑 by mistake. LOL. Even though this restaurant is on the main tourist path it felt like a special place. Happy days

Cakes are better than ice creams. Pleasant to both the palate and the eye. The price of these, chosen around 15 eu (about 10 small cakes) The service knows English and they are pleasant.

I see many complaints about the food, but really, that pistachio shrimp pasta was amazing. Prices for food are average. To rent a spot for 2 persons, on the 3rd row was $35, a bit excessive but sort of expected for the area as it was packed in the middle of July. No showers, just toilets.

I’ve never had an experience like this in my whole life… for sure will come back just to Cefalù to repeat it. Dishes are amazing… have four chefs and an open kitchen, super clean, super fast, the most extravagant wines, grappas, distillery from another planet! It’s a must if you come to Sicily. Owners are very friendly waiters are very kind and gently, located right in the center in front of a church and very close to the main Square. I’m thinking about just getting a flight to come over here for the weekend once in a while . The cost…. I think it’s very cheap because this is better than a Michelin star restaurant.!! Trust me!
