A RESTAURANT SURROUNDED BY GREENERY IN THE VENDICARI NATURE RESERVE
Lunch and dinner amidst lemon trees, blue skies and silence
Dining at Il Baglietto is like taking part in an elegant picnic amidst the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, beneath shady pergolas, amongst the trees or on soft cushions laid out on the ground. Here, Sicilian cuisine meets the land that nourishes it and the surroundings that embrace it: every dish tells a story; every ingredient has a face, an origin, a season.
Il Baglietto is Casa Vendicari’s restaurant. It is not located in a closed dining room, but in a garden where guests can choose where to eat: in the shade of an olive tree, under a pergola entwined with jasmine, or right on the grass, on soft rugs. The atmosphere is relaxed, intimate and informal. The service is unobtrusive, designed to give you space and time.
Here, every moment of the day has its own rhythm: a leisurely, fragrant breakfast, a light lunch between a swim and a stroll, and a dinner that takes on a romantic atmosphere under the stars.
IL BAGLIETTO
SICILIAN CUISINE AND LOCALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS
Authentic, seasonal flavours, from land and sea
The menu changes with the seasons and reflects what the land and sea have to offer. Vegetables from the garden, wild herbs, local cheeses, fresh fish, heirloom pulses, and citrus fruits picked from the lemon grove: everything is carefully selected in collaboration with local producers and farmers.
The cuisine at Il Baglietto is simple yet refined. Minimal preparation, a focus on quality ingredients, and a respect for authentic flavours. Every dish is a tribute to the real Sicily – the kind you savour with gusto, with your hands, and with your heart.
A WARM AND NATURAL EXPERIENCE
Eating as an act of freedom
At Il Baglietto, you can dine barefoot if you like. People speak in hushed tones. Friends share a laugh. You raise a glass of natural wine as you watch the sky turn blue. Your table might just be a blanket on the grass. An aperitif can turn into a dinner under the stars.
Everything is designed to make you feel part of the place, not just a guest. To let you savour the essence of Sicilian hospitality: generous, warm and authentic.
