“Absolutely fabulous! Food was amazing! They served generous portions and fresh local ingredients were used to provide us traditional Eolian dishes. Everything was topped up with great views, kind and knowledgeable staff and last, but not list, super clean restaurant and facilities. It’s a must if you visit Lingua in Salina island”

“Amazing dishes here. Professional service, fresh high-quality products, plus a lovely view. Do not miss the divine octopus and tomato starter, then homemade pasta variations. I find a mid-star rating here hard to believe, after one of the most memorable, tastiest meals I have ever had. Thank you il Delfino.”

“It’s really difficult to rate somewhere where you were the only patrons! We came here at the end of shoulder season during the pandemic, so fellow travellers were understandably few and far between. Food was of high quality, but priced as such. The ravioli (see below) was particularly tasty! Service was friendly and helpful, and they get an extra star for a few freebies at the end - some local, Malvasia wine; and a sumptuous Apple cobbler. Hopefully will return one day in sunnier times”

“Nice location, good food. Prices a bit high compared to the quantity (frittura di calamari for example was pretty small for 20 euro). Overall a nice address, particularly due to the nice location.”
