Porta Terra Ristorante Review

Excellent and comfortable terrace. The first staff member was extremely knowledgeable on Sicilian wines and a terrific discussion ensued on wine selection. The three apps we shared to start our meal were beautifully presented and were super fresh…fish and seafood. Excellent pasta followed and the dessert. Many thanks for a wonderful evening. Highly recommended.

Great food, swordfish carpaccio to share, Carbonara and Lamb. All delicious. Great service, did take a little while to get the bill and pay, but would recommend!

Wonderful location in the entry to the old town. Little fountain beside the outside tables. Great food and service. An upscale place, but worth the price.

Porto Terra: A Culinary Jewel in CefalùDuring our six-week Italian journey, Porto Terra in Cefalù stood out as a true gem. Drawn in by its charming terrace, we decided to have lunch here—and were so impressed that we returned for dinner the same day.Our lunch began with the Busiata alla Italiana, a traditional twisted pasta that was perfectly al dente, bathed in a rich, tangy tomato sauce with capers and olives. It was nothing short of heavenly, capturing the essence of Sicilian cuisine.The filet mignon was, without a doubt, the best steak I’ve had in Italy. Tender and perfectly seared, it was complemented by a subtle Marsala wine reduction that elevated the dish. The rack of lamb was equally exceptional—succulent, with a fragrant rosemary and garlic infusion that made each bite unforgettable.Returning for dinner, we found the evening atmosphere just as enchanting, with the restaurant’s terrace offering a perfect backdrop to a meal that was both refined and comforting.

The table are disposed in very charmong square around a water fountain. The service is really friendly and nice. The food is amazing. We had the octopus Caponata, the Swordfish Caprese and the Lamb Ribs. All of them really good.
