Local specialized in seafood cuisine

Franca and Nicola Mendolia are the owners and managers of the restaurant Al Porticciolo, in Cefalù, a place that offers many comforts, from food to the setting. Born within the historic center, near the old port, the restaurant will let you enjoy special moments, from the culinary tasting to the welcoming atmosphere that characterized the internal and external environments of the restaurant. The restaurant is full of smells of cooking and the sea.

We care about our customers and always keep alive the culture of hospitality: we like to surprise guests with the kindness of our dining room staff who can discreetly recommend the dishes of the day or the best wine to match. And you can feel the same care while relaxing in the comfort of the spacious and comfortable rooms, or in the pleasant atmosphere of the outdoor terrace overlooking the sea, when the weather permits.

Restaurant with rooms and a terrace for parties, ceremonies and business meetings

The restaurant is divided into two adjacent internal rooms, where you can have lunch or dinner: spacious, furnished with taste and elegance, and suitable for every occasion, from birthday parties to business dinners. With many seats, the rooms are also suitable to host large tables for ceremonies, such as wedding banquets, baptismal lunches and communions. In the sunny days and in the spring and summer season we set up tables outside, on the pier which extends to the sea, and offers a large terrace lying on the cliff, wrapped in the magical atmosphere of the old town of Cefalù. And in this setting, you can enjoy seafood specialties in salads, shrimp and oyster cocktails, raw fish, first and second courses made even more special by citrus and local vegetables.
