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.
Snacks, Signature cocktails and stunning views. Warm and inviting, Granita Bar is open throughout the day for tapas-style Mediterranean dishes and regional specialties, alongside a range of expertly mixed cocktails that are unique to Verdura.
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.
Refreshments and snacks served poolside. Stretch out on a chaise longue by our pool and enjoy a delicious selection of refreshments and classic dishes for lunch. With the glittering expanse of the Mediterranean on one side and the serene glamour of our 60-metre infinity pool on the other, the Pool Bar is ideally placed for refreshing drinks and delicious food. Offering a tantalizing selection of classic comforts during the day—from juicy beef burgers to restorative salads, hearty sandwiches and scoops of fresh, creamy gelato—and a mouth-watering menu of grilled meats at Fulvio Pierangelini's Focu dinners (as well as live music and dancing by the pool), The Pool Bar offers a relaxed alternative to Verdura's other dining destinations.
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.

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.
