Agrigento Restaurants

  1. Da Giovanni

    A reliable option with piazza seating, smooth service, classic Sicilian dishes and mind-blowing cassata (sponge cake with ricotta and fruit). It gets quite busy on Saturday evenings, when bookings are a must.

  2. Il Déhors

    The restaurant of the Foresteria Baglio della Luna takes its lead from the monsù cooking of the 1800s when French influences began to reach the Sicilian dinner table. The menu includes sole, lobster and meats such as pheasant, lamb and kid. There are delicious pâtés and plenty of buttery sauces. Excellent.

  3. Kalòs

    This is a top-end restaurant serving quality cuisine close to the centre of town. The whopping service charge of 20% is a bit steep, especially when the place can feel a little funereal early in the evening.

  4. Kokalos

    If you have a car, head for this trattoria/pizzeria, on the road to San Leone, where they dish up the area's best pizza. They also serve the local cavatelli (a type of homemade pasta). The views of the Temple of Concord are impressive too.

  5. L'Ambasciata di Sicilia

    The Ambasciata offers typical Sicilian fare, although the prepackaged desserts are a disappointment. If you can, get a table on the small outdoor terrace, which has splendid views of the town and the temples below.

  7. La Forchetta

    A budget eatery, the Fork serves the cheapest grub in town, with simple pastas and meat fillets to follow. The cramped dining room is often packed with locals who come for the ever-changing daily specials and the relaxed atmosphere.

  8. La Promenade dei Templi

    This is a good café/restaurant popular with locals for a morning coffee, and the best eatery near the temples away from the madding crowds. There is also a pleasant rooftop terrace.

  9. Le Caprice

    Le Caprice, long one of Agrigento's better restaurants, has a garden location complete with pool and swans. It is renowned for its seafood and the mixed seafood grill is certainly worth its reputation. A glass of the local white is perfect on a hot summer evening.

  10. Leon d'Oro

    A truly excellent restaurant that deserves its high prices, perfectly mixing the fish and fowl that typify Agrigento's cuisine. Try the coniglio in agrodolce (rabbit in a sweet-and-sour sauce) or the triglia e macco di fave (mullet with broad beans).
