Me Cumpari Turiddu
A traditional Sicilian restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand for several years, with old chandeliers and worn tables creating a retro atmosphere.
Located at Piazza Turi Ferro 36, recognized by the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand for several consecutive years. Old chandeliers and worn wooden tables set the mood. The focus is traditional Sicilian food made with organic ingredients. There's also a simpler, cheaper tavern menu, plus a food shop and a cocktail bar. Recommended dishes include pasta alla Norma, the signature Turiddu pasta and caponata, and there is horse tartare too. About €40–55 per person. For weekend dinners in summer, book one to three weeks ahead. About a 5-minute walk from Via Etnea and Teatro Bellini.

Mon–Fri 7:00–10:30 p.m.; Sat–Sun 12:00–2:30 p.m. (as listed on the Michelin Guide page)
