Bottega Tivitti

Cefalù


This casual waterfront spot serves pizzas, salads and inventive 'Sicilian burgers' made with top-of-the-line local ingredients – like the Tivitti Burger, with sheep's-milk cheese, olive tapenade, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted eggplant. It's a great spot to watch the sunset while sampling Sicilian wines and microbrews and snacking on local cheese and meat platters.
