There's nothing surprising about the traditional Sicilian menu, but a focus on stellar service makes U Maccicuni the standout restaurant on Favara's main square. Try the mixed grill, including local sausages and lamb, and check out the small shop inside selling beer and digestif liqueurs made locally in Favara. Even U Maccicuni's sweet balsamic vinegar comes from owner Guiseppe's father-in-law.
