The setting of this restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, the garden was a sight to see. The food was to die for especially the gnocchi’s zucchini if you go there please orders this dish you will not be disappointed. The staff is extremely professional and friendly. Definitely the best restaurant we have been to whilst in Panarea

Giovanna is the heir of the most famous Panarea restaurant, da Pina. Brought up in the family business, she established herself as a fashion designer as well. In her new restaurant, she combines her two expertises. The result is arguably the nicest restaurant setting in whole archipelago, meticulously presented dishes and delish food that is reiterpreted, but still based on aeolian produce and Sicilian traditions and served by a lovely multi-lingual team in a kind and familiar atmosphere suitable for this paradise island. Come and try - for all the lovers of fine things in life, a true must!

Would not hesitate to go back. Setting is really lovely. The welcome was warm. The food was delicious. We were unsure about going because, although the review score was high, there weren't many reviews. Turns out, it's only been open 2 months. So, that explains that. Highly recommend. It's owned and run by Giovanna & family. There's something extra charming about seeing that both Giovanna's sons work there, among the many members of attentive staff. I had just injured my leg, and Giovanna's eldest drove us back down to the port. Very kind and completely unexpected. I'll be back. Grazie Giovanna! Video doesn't do it justice. Fyi. Had the parmigiana. So tender. It ia prepared their own way and was one of the best I've had, even if it was a bit on the lukewarm side when it arrived. Who knows, maybe that was intentional. It still tasted damn good. Also had a salt baked red snapper for 3. Very good. I had the calamari "tagliatelle". The tagliatelle surprised me as it was not a pasta dish, but rather very finely sliced ribbons of calamari. Never had that before. Nice bite to it and the vegetable sauce was ace. lovely etna bianco wine too.

Divine gnocchi al zucchini. Gorgeous red snapper. Divine locale (sorry for the adjectives...). One of the best restaurants in Italy.
