Da Alfredo in Cucina
A new outfit run by the son of Alfredo, Lingua's masterly granita maker (of 'Da Alfredo' on Via Manzoni, around the corner). This is a simple and elegant restaurant with a large terrace where each table is lit by an individual overhanging light. It overlooks the salt lagoon and is tucked away from the bustle of the other restaurants and cafés. A wonderful addition to the village.

Cucinotta Rita
Salina's best restaurant is this small place at the end of Via Risorgimento. Sit at one of the elegantly set tables alfresco, while the attentive waiters serve fantastic food such as stuffed squid, grilled swordfish sprinkled with parsley, and hearty chocolate cake desserts. You can also pop in here for breakfast - the croissants are freshly baked.
