3 Best Restaurants in San Vito Lo Capo, Sicily

This salumeria and enoteca with outdoor tables is a great choice for a midday snack of cold cuts, perhaps accompanied by a glass of cool white wine chosen from the formidable wine list. Your tagliere (tray) might include various hunks of local cheeses, a selection of salamis and hams, and a bowl of olives. Pane cunzato (seasoned bread topped with tomato, onion, anchovies, and capers) and craft beers are also served.

This is that rare creature, a great pizzeria that also produces main meals of quality and undoubted flair. The pizzas are available in "gourmet" or "classic" varieties, both making good use of fresh local ingredients with a light, crispy base. If you don't opt for pizza, you'll find a shorter menu of freshly caught fish prepared using traditional Sicilian methods. The antipasti are also worth sampling. It's a small place and fills up quickly, so book ahead.

Founded by a locally born sister-and-brother team, this restaurant just steps away from the beach has one eye on tradition and one on innovative and creative cuisine. Intriguing taste combinations are well-judged, though you can be equally satisfied with a simple but delicious plate of spaghetti with tuna or grilled fish, as even the plainest dishes are surprisingly tasty. The three versions of couscous are remarkable even by San Vito standards. Everything is artistically presented, and there's an excellent wine list, too. Choose to eat indoors or on the terrace.
