We were given a lift up from the lovely Eros Hotel and ate here in the evening. I can only say that it was a beautiful and totally romantic experience. The food was really fantastic, the staff were lovely and really friendly and even in the early evening the scenery was incredible. This restaurant is hard to get to because it is quite high up in the mountains of Vulcano, but the trip up is so worth it. If you can eat here, I can't advise you strongly enough to do so.

Had lunch here today and I had a great experience! The pasta was fresh and super tasty! The staff is also very nice and always ready to help with a smile! It’s located in a separate corner of the island so if you want some quiet time in the nature you can enjoy lunch/dinner/coffee on their veranda!

This place was incredible even though it is a bit far from the port they have a free shuttle. The restaurant is beautiful and all the food is delicious and made with so much love. The homemade pasta was amazing the Chicken was the best I have ever had. The steak was a bit weird but good. The dessert cannoli was beyond words definitely will return.

What an amazing experience! We were the only guests, Tuesday evening in May. We sat at a table outside on the terrace, had fantastic service, food prices were around €15 - €18 for mains, starters around €12. The Etna Rose We chose was €30. For food we shared a plate of deep fried fiore di zucca. Yummy. Mains We went for a involtini di carne, which could have been a bigger portion, and a plate of local fish portions coated in sesame seeds which was delicious and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend this restaurant, ten minute drive up from the harbour with spectacular views of the volcano and neighbouring islands along the way.

Super authentic little restaurant - dont expect luxury but you can get real sicilian food. Gotta try the rosato- special but delicous. I had lamb with Salat and antipasta mista siciliana. Price level according to vulcano a bit high but ok for the quality. Connect the trip with sundown view grillo. Thx for the stay

Nice restaurants a little out of the Island's centre (but they provide a shuttle picking you up at your stay). The food is awesome as the choice of Sicilian wines with good suggestions. It is worth a visit..don't forget to watch the sky at night..full of shooting stars in August
