Discover the menu of our fish and meat restaurant

Our cuisine follows the rhythm of nature: the menu changes often, based on the season and what the garden offers us.
A few dishes, well-made, with real ingredients and flavors that smell of home.

You will find the classics of Sicilian tradition:
Fragrant caponata, pasta with sardines, Messina-style rolls, Nebrodi black pork
and, when available, the crispy Sicilian cannolo, filled on the spot… a little treat that always sells out.

Sweet Awakening in the Village

Breakfast at Borgo has a good and familiar taste
and gives you all the energy you need for a day discovering Sicily.

We start with a good coffee... and then off to the buffet.

Homemade cakes, tarts with our jams, soft muffins, plum cakes, fresh bread, butter and honey, yogurt, jams, simple biscuits, and a small selection of savory products.

It's a genuine breakfast, prepared slowly and with real ingredients.
The light coming in through the windows and the fresh air of the hill do the rest:
a start to the day that immediately puts you in a good mood.

Opening hours
Breakfast served from 7:30 to 10:00

Aperitif by the Pool

What if the evening started with an aperitif by the pool?
It's the moment when the day relaxes... and you with it, enjoying the breeze coming from the mountains and that orange evening light reflecting on the flowers and warming your heart.

And a glass of Sicilian wine prepares the palate for the delights of our garden.
