Agriturismo Cicala - PALERMO

We had a truly lovely time at agriturismo Cicala. The rooms were beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and very comfortable; the view from the terrace was really beautiful. Quality linen and towels including bathrobes, all with a cute hand-embroidered little cicada symbol in a corner. Adorable...amenities-filled little tin box with scented soaps, shampoos, toothbrushes and toothpaste etc in the bathroom. We stayed for dinner and it was a real feast. We were a group of four, two vegetarians and two omnivores and they accommodated all of our needs and gave us plenty of meat and non meat delicious options. Their homegrown artichokes were to die for and so were the cheeses and sausages. The breakfast was equally lovely with plenty of home made cakes and biscotti. The owner was super helpful also with directions to the town (don’t follow google maps as it takes you through narrow medieval streets whereas there is a very convenient road that circles the town and goes straight to the place). And finally amazing quality price ratio: accommodation, several-course dinner with wine, and breakfast for 60 euro per person.

The Caccamo citizen who advised us this place for lunch, and also advised us to warn them by phone, he is really worthy of our gratitude. In fact, the property prepares the set of fabulous food which we will discuss describe, primarily for overnight guests....To these can be added other guests, but they should announce themselves before the cook begins his work; otherwise you risk to limit you to eat (say) grilled steak and salad, as has happened to other guests who came after us and who had not had the suggestion to dial. The owner, a distinguished and gracious lady, presented orally us the menu. Having my wife remarked that she could not eat all the dishes listed, she suggested to take two portions of the starters, and only a portion (to be divided among us) of the first courses, the main dishes and desserts. We followed the advice, and we also ate more than enough. So our advice is to order whole portions of the set menu only when really hungry. Here is the sumptuous list of dishes. We started with a cocktail, eaten standing up, in which the brut sparkling wine accompanied: pieces of flat bread with cottage cheese, or with tomatoes and peppers; pizza with olives and tomatoes; cheese stuffed with olives or chili; various kinds of salami and olives. Sitting at the table, we were then served the appetizers: ham with fresh figs, omelettes, eggplant caponata . Next, two first courses: penne pasta with zucchini cream; rice with sausage and lemon. As main dishes, meat loaf, rolls, fresh sausage grilled. Finally, cannoli mignon and bits of white melon with cinnamon. This list of refined foods can give the idea of ​​property 's excellence, excellence that we still confirm. It is undoubtedly one of the best lunches we experienced. One can not overlook the bill factor: 40 € for two persons, inclusive of house wine at will, water and coffee. Even taking into account the fact that as I wrote first and main courses were shared, the bill is another merit that adds appeal to this fabulous experience.

Accommodation in spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated rooms. While the rooms are not large, they are well appointed and suited to purpose. Staff are charming and extremely helpful. Food excellent! Well worth a visit. I will definitely be back!

We had lunch in this farm with friends and a nice dog (our big size. the location is pleasant and accessible outdoor spaces. the food is homemade and the quantities served were studied to arrive at the end of the meal easily (the requests of bis were answered) with a menu all season. at the entrance you are welcomed by describing the menu prepared and, in the case of intolerance or personal preferences, the chef tried to meet the needs. excellent value for money. We will definitely come back!
