"good accommodation sita, in fraction of language of S.Marina salina that is located about 2,5 km from the port, in the direction of the island of lipari. we really had a pleasant stay. . . excellent local and fish-based cuisine, but eye at prices (the only negative neo was to overflow the buffet breakfast not included in our stay. ) the area is served by local buses and other beautiful locals."

"24/6 We had lunch today in this well known establishment. I was with people very important to me and I was hoping for a really nice experience. Mamma Santina delivered it and more! In Salina most of the restaurant have abandoned the typical cuisine for a more daring (and expensive) approach, offering places that would pretend to be glamorous but most of the times fail to deliver what is promised and expected. Mamma Santina remains one of the few example of typical aeolian restaurant, a place where the hospitality is still sacred and the smiles of the people working there are truly genuine. Immediately you feel like at home, guests at a friend’s house more than customers. Mario (the owner and chef) and Eleonora will tempt you immediately with delicatessen which are results of years of passion, research and love for this job. We had a mix of courses: amongst the starters the parmigiana di alici was outstanding, I had squid with pasta as main course, octopus Salina style, tuna parmigiana which was delicious. Fresh capers’ salad was also incredibly tasty! There were a dozen more things that I would have liked to try, so choice wax really hard. Up to this point everything is normal: a nice place, excellent cuisine, all rare but not unique. What made this experience a triumph was what happened afterwards: they have chilli pepper plants all along the edge of the restaurant terrace and one of my guests love chili pepper. We discussed what could have been the strongest one and Eleonora introduced us to Thomas, an Indian gentleman that takes care of these plants. You could sense his love for them. He carefully chose one, picked it and prepared it for us, mincing it in a cream with onion, garlic and olive oil. My friend tried it and even the gentleman of the table next to us had a go at it. It was really powerful! We than had a lovely chat with our neighbours sipping an homemade citrus liqueur. We realised that this restaurant is framed inside an hotel so we asked to see one of the rooms and it was so lovely that my friends booked it for next year holiday. I could write rivers of words about this place but I won’t do it, I will simply suggest for you to experience it like we did, and ask yourself if your are dreaming or not. Well done to all the staff and in particular to Mario, Eleonora and Thomas for the lovey experience we have had."

"Come mi capita ogni estate, mi sono trovato a dover andare sull’isola di Salina per lavoro , con la famiglia con me . Pur avendo i minuti contati mi sono ritagliato lo spazio per un pranzo veloce dagli amici Lorenzo e Stefano e non me ne sono pentito . Anzi! Antipasto di mare (caponata di spada ed insalata di polpo) di ottimo livello , innaffiata da un bianco di Salina alla temperatura ideale . Aura di tonno pescato in nottata semplicemente scottata alla griglia con una semplicissima insalata pomodoro e cipolla . Sapori semplici ma che ti rendono orgoglioso di essere siciliano . Il tutto condito ed impreziosito dalla simpatia contagiosa dei proprietari . Inarrivabile"

"We turned up a group of 8 without a reservation. We were kindly asked to stand by and wait 5 minutes whilst the staff arranged and sanitised the tables to sit us all together, whilst maintaing appropriate social distancing from the other diners. (would have loved the seaview from the terrace, but being mid October we ate indoors). We were given all the time to study the menu, helped with detailed explanations and provided with useful suggestions, without being ever rushed into making our choices. Home made pasta, fresh local fish we had been advised by our B&B host to go for the Alalunga (longfin tuna) and rich vegetable side dishes did not disappoint. We finished with the delicious Torta Cannolo in other word a Cannolo Siciliano rearranged as a cheesecake. Very reasonably priced."

"The setting is sublime, at the lighthouse-end of Lingua's pretty little promenade, with a view across to Lipari. There is parking by the lighthouse. There is an extensive menu and we had a delightful 3-course lunch for 74 euros for two, including a half-litre carafe...of house white (5 euros) and a litre of sparkling water (2.50 euros). Husband had marinated anchovies then spaghetti with clams (both 15 euros), finishing with ice cream (3 euros). I had pasta shells with prawns and courgettes (12 euros) then mixed fried prawns and squid (16 euros) then a granita at 2.50 euros. All delicious and such good value. Service was excellent even though they were also coping (very well) with a couple of groups. Such friendly people, and such a surprise to us, in such an out-of-the-way place, to hear fluent Australian-accented English (they spend part of the year there)."
