È possibile mangiare di qualità in uno dei borghi più turistici della sicilia? #cefalu #cibo · @ 0:06
Falù is a well-reviewed paninoteca in Cefalù, 50 meters from the sea, where every sandwich is named after a local landmark and made with fresh, high-quality Sicilian ingredients.
Dishes mentioned
Archimede
I order the Archimede — it has artichokes, scamorza, cherry tomatoes cooked in charcoal, and prosciutto crudo. The bread is soft, the ingredients are fresh. I like that every sandwich is named after a point of interest in the city.
Bastione
The Bastione has guanciale flambéed — it's smoky and rich. The meat is tender, the flavor is intense. I really enjoy the combination.
Asino Estroso
I choose the Asino Estroso — it's a donkey burger with stracciatella, lettuce, tomatoes and avocado. The meat is lean but juicy, the stracciatella adds creaminess. It's a unique and tasty combination.
