Pasticceria da Marisa — Restaurant in Lipari

From appetizer to dessert, we just had a very amazing journey through Sicilian cousine. We are from Palermo (so we are accostumed Sicilian food), and writing in English only so that everybody can understand. Appetizer: aubrigine involtini with totanelli, the most delicate thing I have ever eaten. Pasta: ravioli with cernia on a yellow tomato sauce. The best ever.. We tasted the freshness of the fish (and so the flavor) while enjoying a spectacular tomato sauce from yellow Piccadilly tomato directly from Marisa’s vegetable garden. Meat: Malvasia scalappine, two thin slices of fluffy meat with an intense flavor of Malvasia, a typical liquor of Eolian island Dessert: we concluded with two different elaborate and exquisite dessert, worthy of a high level pastry. Wonderful. We enjoyed a wine from a local wine estate which was simply astonishing. In addition, A gentle staff has made the dinner a wonderful dinner If you are in Lipari ever you must have dinner...

We were very impressed by the great quality of the food and by the care and love the owners put in every detail. Starting from the delicious fish, which we selected “live” before cooking, the fresh and tasty wine and the superb dessert, everything entirely hand-prepared . The owner even gave us an extra portion of another cake, besides the one ordered, and offered us a Malvasia, the typical sweet wine of the region, to accompany it. Most of the products are bio or regional and follow a slow food philosophy. The restaurant is not downtown but it definitely is worth paying a visit. Everything was impeccable and really touching. Real hospitality at its best and old-school great cooking!...

Service was good and the food really nice. Creative desserts. But the price... Menu said 6.50€/100g for the fish. I picked one and in the end the fish without sides costed me 46€ .. maybe my fault that I did not ask before I ordered, but this was in my opinion really overpriced. In addition the fish came in too raw, the waiter discovered it himself, took it back, but when he came back the potatoes were already cold... So normally that would not bother me, but for such a price... Other guests who had no fish were quite happy, so maybe just do not take the fish if you want to avoid...
