The restaurant at Tarantola specialises in Sicilian country cooking – simple and tasty, changing with the seasons, using the freshest ingredients, as natural and genuine as can be. Our chef also likes to create his own versions of age-old recipes – traditional western Sicilian with a twist.
Dishes are cooked using home-grown vegetables, wild herbs foraged from the hillside, tomato paste made from our own tomatoes dried on the terrace, ricotta made from our own goats milk, fresh hand-made pasta, and the best local meat, fish and cheese.
Wine, olive oil, and liqueurs produced on the estate are all served in the restaurant.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals are on offer, but please give us a little bit of notice, as most ingredients are either picked or bought on the day.
Please note: there is a set menu because ingredients are fresh and local and are either picked from our garden or bought on the day. Below is an example of the foods we might serve. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals - meals to suit any dietary requirements in fact - are always available but please give us a little bit of notice.
