There are seafood restaurants and then there's Amare. Walk across the sand and step inside, listening as the waves lap against the shore, and settle in for a night of sublimely fresh seafood on the beachfront.
Order the catch of the day, brought ashore by local fishermen that day, and ask for it served grilled or 'crudo', just as they have enjoyed it for generations in surrounding Sicilian fishing villages—thinly sliced, anointed with local extra virgin olive oil, juice from citrus fruits grown nearby, and a pinch of rock salt. Peruse the menu, with its fresh salads and sensational pasta dishes, and watch the sky light up with color as the sun sets over the Mediterranean. Amare will be open during the weekends.
Enjoy your breakfast with a side of Sicilian sunshine and views out over the Mediterranean. With a spacious, light-flooded indoor dining room and an outdoor terrace that spills out towards the stunning infinity pool, Buongiorno is a sensational place to start the day. Order a la carte, requesting a fresh omelet from the chef's station or indulging in the Sicilian treat of granita made with fruits from the Verdura estate and brioche. Taste our freshly baked cakes and pastries, local cured meats, and cheeses, and be sure to enjoy a glass of freshly squeezed juice from our Verdura oranges.
The original Italian meeting place, osterias were where locals would gather for a game of cards and a glass of wine. Later, they became a space to share a simple, homemade Italian meal between generations of friends and family. Welcome to Verdura Resort’s all-day osteria, where life’s simple pleasures - nostalgic food, local wine, and good company - meet true Italian hospitality.
With a colorful dining room that celebrates and showcases local artisanal crafts, and an outdoor terrace that looks out over the Sicilian coastline, Liolà is a stunning setting, whether you are enjoying a romantic clifftop dinner for two or a lively family feast.
The menu reveals all manner of traditional trattoria-style dishes, from caponata made with locally grown ingredients to crispy, yielding arancini and wood-fired pizza with tomatoes, breadcrumbs, pecorino cheese, salami, and basil. Those looking for an authentic taste of Sicily will find it here.
Ondina serves simple dishes made with quality ingredients. Try our crispy calamari, classic Niçoise salad, or delicate lobster sandwich. Explore heartier dishes, such as our juicy beef burger or spaghetti with clams. For a sweet note, dip your spoon into our chocolate panna cotta or savour a scoop of creamy gelato.
We are what we eat. Bringing the serenity of the spa out into stylish surrounds, at the Spa Bar, your body will be treated as the temple it truly is.
The menu encompasses a range of natural and vegetarian haute cuisine, with all manner of fresh juices and smoothies made from the harvest of our very own Verdura vegetable garden and orchards.
When the sun begins to dip over the Mediterranean, Sunset Bar is the place for an aperitivo. With sweeping views and cocktails that capture the island’s spirit, this is where evenings begin.
Golden hour finds its rhythm here. Seated on the piazzetta beneath the ancient watch tower, a spritz or crisp glass of wine in hand, time slows. The perfect spot to unwind, with the sea stretching out before you, shimmering in sun-warmed hues.
Named for the fragrant orange blossom that scents the estate, Zagara restaurant is a unique expression of place, with a menu that revels in the flavors and ingredients of the Mediterranean, from the local catch of the day, served with homegrown braised fennel and citrus, to "Spaghettoni" with shrimp from Sciacca, zucchini leaves, and lemon. With a glamorous dining room and an atmospheric outdoor terrace that offers views out towards the sea, Zagara combines elegant design and the natural beauty of Verdura to stunning effect.
