Enna Restaurants

  1. Antica Hostaria

    Enna's best restaurant has made it into the Slow Food Movement bible thanks to its pork ragù (sauce), an ancient mountain staple. The chef only makes it in the winter months, however, so you can opt for simpler things if you're here in the summer. The orecchiette (ear-shaped pasta) with broccoli and black olive paste is very good, as is the pasta carbonara with asparagus. Also try the castellane (conical macaroni) with mussels and mushrooms.

  3. La Fontana

    Right opposite the fountain on the little piazza, this little restaurant is run by an eccentric older couple who've decorated the place in a mixture of kitsch and art nouveau. Mostly frequented by tourists, it's friendly and the food is straightforward Sicilian fare. It has outdoor seating on the piazza in summer.

    This is a good café for both the summer and winter months. It's popular with a 25-and-up crowd, who come here for coffee, snacks, drinks and aperitivi. The interior is sleek and there's a covered outdoor seating area for the cooler months.

  6. Ristorante Centrale

    Very central (hence the name), this friendly, family-run place has a feastlike buffet of antipasti, and cooks up typical mountain dishes of meat, sausages, mushrooms and vegetables. The menu of Sicilian specialities changes daily. The décor is a cacophony of pictures and plates.
