Both nights we enjoyed the caprese salad with bright, juicy tomatoes and an absolutely glorious (and enormous!) ball of buffalo mozzarella. Can't beat it. Pastas were good across the board - we had spaghetti with clams, spaghetti with mussels, and a really interesting pasta with tuna, capers, tomatoes, olives, and what tasted like some sort of smoked cheese. All were great, with wonderful fresh seafood. The tuna steak with potatoes, tomatoes, and olives was wonderful. The only misstep food-wise was when we got the beef; it was basically a really dry beef schnitzel cooked to within an inch of its life. That's what we get for ordering meat in Sicily - stick to seafood, it's abundant and fresh. The staff were really good with our kid, bringing him crayons and talking sweetly to him. I also appreciated the choice between two non-alcoholic beers, as many places in Sicily had none at all. I think overall they had quite a well-stocked beer fridge. The food comes out fairly quickly but we did struggle massively to get someone's attention to ask for, and then pay the bill. But we basically expected that everywhere we went. Definitely worth seeking this place out on Lipari!

If you want a special experience on Stromboli, this is the place to come. The space is beautiful,…read morethe waitstaff very friendly and exceptionally professional, and the food and wine very good. Owner Nino is from Sicily and takes a lot of pride in his restaurant and cooking. It shows. Ingredients are fresh and dishes are not overly complicated. Our favorite are the whole scarfano fish with potatoes, and spaghetti vongole or Stromboli-style. We had a great dense, warm chocolate cake for dessert last time we went. We will always keep coming back for a guaranteed relaxing experience. Note: though the restaurant is not directly on the water, it has a fabulous view of the water. Ai Gechi (so named for the geckos that enjoy the walls in the evening) is spotless and very tastefully decorated with linen tablecloths, candles set in black volcanic sand, white columns, and perfect green terrace floor. You can sit on the big covered main terrace, or perch up on the back level, which also has a special, romantic table overlooking the terrace.
