The restaurant of Relais San Giuliano
traditional Sicilian cuisine creates signature dishes of elegant taste

The elegance of auteur cuisine, the everydayness of traditional Sicilian country recipes and the charm of an ancient millstone dating back to the 16th century come together in iPalici, the charming restaurant de charme of the Relais San Giuliano hotel, synonymous with culinary excellence in the Etna region.

Executive chef Gaetano Procopio directs the kitchen with accurate knowledge of the raw materials and graceful innovation, which does not upset but elevates the island's gastronomic heritage. Gaetano takes you on a journey of the senses in which the cyclical nature, the seasonality of the products, and the rigorous attention to food intolerances are the guides.

A sustainable and waste-conscious menu from breakfast to dinner, which draws its essence from the richness and variety of the plant world to which the fertile Ionian-Etnean terroir gives life, but also from the vibrant freshness of the local fish and the decisive flavour of the local wines, to be tasted in the intimate lounge bar Palmento del Serra.

It is a multi-sensory journey in which the energy and warmth of the volcanic earth inspire the amber hues that colour the restaurant hall and the material components of stone, wood and wrought iron. The iPalici restaurant welcomes its guests in atmospheric settings to make special occasions memorable or give your stay in Sicily an authentic and refined flavour.

SICILIAN HOSPITALITY IN AN ANCIENT 18TH-CENTURY NOBLE RESIDENCE

Relais San Giuliano
boutique hotel de charme

LOUNGE BAR IN AN ANCIENT PALMENTO

Elegant aperitifs in an atmosphere suspended in time

Alongside the iPalici restaurant, the lounge bar on the upper floor determines the identity of the ancient Palmento. You can experience two excellent representations of taste, good drinking and fine dining at Relais San Giuliano.
