A' Lumeredda — Restaurant in Malfa

Malfa has some very nice restaurants, including some which are pretty upscale. A" Lumeredda, which is Sicilian for lamplit, is not an upscale place. It is located on a narrow alley which is called Via San Lorenzo, which is a little dark at night. From the outside, this place doesn't look like much, but the food is so good that this place shouldn't be missed when you just want to eat in a trattoria. It's a family business, and the owner and his family are so friendly. They don't speak much English, but it doesn't matter; they speak enough to keep the customer happy. There are about twenty different kinds of pizza. I picked out one called Pizza Lucrezia, which had an Italian cold-cut called bresaola on it (air dried beef.) The salads were very good as well. As an atmospheric treat, they bring to the table an alcohol-and-sugar-fueled lantern which some tourists didn't understand was just for show. Anyway, this is a great sleeper of a place for excellent pizza and very reasonable. The owner talked me out of buying a bottle of wine and suggested the house wine, which came in a carafe for much less than half the price of a bottle, but it was very tasty (probably nero d'avola.) A great value and glad...

I was trying to find somewhere for dinner for our first night in Malfa and stumbled across this lovely restaurant. We walked over an hour after opening and we were seated immediately. It had been raining earlier so everyone was seated in the covered area, but I'm sure the rest of the patio is great on days with better weather. The patrons seemed like a general mix of tourists and locals as the night went on. Let's get to the food, it was amazing and very reasonably priced. We took a gamble and decided to treat ourselves a bit (hence our tab probably higher than most others), but everything we ordered was sooo delicious. The marinated anchovies, the octopus, the seafood pasta, the sea bass (special of the night), and tiramisu. We definitely left there happy and full. We haven't left yet and may be going back before we do! Definitely would recommend! (Again, the price per person I listed was because we ordered a lot, you could easily dine two people for...

This is a lovely restaurant up a narrow side street in Malfa. It comprises of a very large outdoor area with some tables completely in the open and others under a covered area. There are many plants and nicely decorated columns making for a nice ambience. Adding to the ambience is an accordionist who plays a mixture of contemporary and Italian music. We had great fun trying to guess the names of the tunes. 😀 The menu is good, offering a range of pasta, meat and fish dishes as well as pizzas. The Anti Pasta dish of Arinchi was lovely. We enjoyed our choices of Breaded Chicken and Swordfish. The homemade Tiramasu was delicious. 😋 We were served superbly by Alessandro who served all the other tables virtually on his own. At the end of our enjoyable dinner we were treated to a complementary glass of Malvasia wine. Note that you have to pay at the...
