Luna Restaurant Licata — Restaurant in Licata

A Hidden Gem by the Sea in Licata

Luna Restaurant was a truly pleasant surprise. Located right on the waterfront, it offers a stunning sea view and a calm, elegant atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a special lunch or evening.

The menu focuses on fresh, local seafood prepared with care and creativity. Chef Calogero young, passionate, and very talented brings out the best in each ingredient without overcomplicating things. Every dish we tried felt balanced, flavorful, and well thought out.

The wine per glass also tasted as it was already open for longer. For that...
