Since opening in 2018, Malfa's newest restaurant has won a loyal following for its delicious, authentic Aeolian cuisine. The menu abounds in seasonal specials and enticing local recipes, from pasta with chickpeas and fennel, to rabbit stewed with veggies, pine nuts, almonds, lemon, cinnamon and capers. Scrumptious homemade cannoli and an excellent local wine selection are icing on the cake.
