There are so so many restaurants in Cefalu. Today I was attracted by the fish tank in front of  Liska Restaurant . I chose six small fishes because I know small fishes have more flavors.   The manager Alberto recommended me to use them for a soup. I rarely order fish soups because I am worried about too fishy, many bones, or overcooked fish. However the fish soup turned out a wonderful surprise.
The fish was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. It stayed firm and delicate without becoming mushy, and the broth was rich, aromatic, and packed with authentic Sicilian flavors. Most importantly, there was absolutely no fishy taste at all.
This dish completely changed my impression of fish soup. Every spoonful was delicious.
A special thank you to Oeg for making such beautiful soup. The fish soup was easily the highlight of my meal and deserves a full 5 stars.
The restaurant also offers an absolutely stunning and breathtaking sea view - a million - dollar view overlooking the ocean.
Although some dishes took a little longer to arrive , the fish soup alone was absolutely worth it.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Sicilian seafood in Cefalù.

Worst Italian experience. Avoid.

We checked in at 21:00, and everything seemed fine at the beginning, until they took our order. For two people, we ordered two primi piatti and two secondi piatti. The waiter who took the order even came back to double-check the first dishes, so there was no confusion from our side.

At around 21:30, another waiter brought two first dishes and one main course to the table at the same time. I asked why the main course had already arrived, and he simply replied that I had ordered it. I explained politely that I would need at least 20 minutes to finish my first dish, and that the beef steak would be cold by then. Eventually, they took it back.

We finished the first dishes, and the plates were cleared around 22:00. After that, nobody showed any interest in our table, even though there were around four front-of-house staff and only about eight customers in the restaurant.

At 22:30, I had to ask if the second dishes were still going to be served. Everyone looked confused until the waiter who had taken the order appeared and said he would bring them in two minutes. After another 10 minutes, the main courses finally arrived, at around 22:40.

The beef steak was terrible: hard like rubber, full of chewy gristle, and served with a sauce that looked like mashed potato but had absolutely no taste. It was also very dry, probably because it had been kept warm for too long. I could barely cut a few pieces, and the only ones who seemed to enjoy it were the hungry cats sitting on the rocks next to the restaurant.

Another disappointing detail: after 22:00, we had no drinks left on the table except mineral water, and nobody asked if we wanted anything else.

We finally left at 23:00 after paying €100. I went back to the hotel still hungry and had to eat a banana before going to bed.

For this price, the service, timing, and food quality were unacceptable. Definitely not a place I would recommend.

Great restaurant in Cefalù! I tried the mussels and seafood salad — everything was very tasty, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The view from the terrace is simply stunning, with a beautiful panorama of the sea.

The atmosphere was also special thanks to the group of cats sitting on the rocks nearby, adding to the charm.

Liska restaurant is a great place to enjoy not only delicious food but also a beautiful view.

Restaurant Liska was an absolute highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome — warm smiles, great attention to detail, and perfect recommendations. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, with beautiful views and a lovely coastal vibe that captures the charm of Cefalù.

They rely on the view which was closed to us by the time we arrived. The only host was fawning over my partner (fine, she has cool style) but completely ignored me, only speaking to her even when I placed my order. The fish I ordered was very overcooked and dry. The mussels tasted good but the broth was very salty. After a hefty bill, the waiter placed the card machine in front of my partner, I reached over and paid for it in full then he returned the receipt to my partner as if I wasn’t there. The worst and most expensive meal we had in the town - would not recommend.
