We celebrated our birthdays at Cefalu and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is perfect for any kind of celebration, from date nights to birthdays and baby showers, with great food, cocktails, and live music. The Prosciutto & Burrata was delicious, and the cacio e pepe bucatini served tableside in a flaming cheese wheel was unforgettable. We’re already planning our next visit because there’s so much more on the menu to try.
I’ve been to Italy, but not the seaside and now I want to make that a reality!
The live music was great! Looks like great happy hour deals too! Can’t wait to go back!

We live close by & finally tried this place which had changed hands again a couple years ago. We arrived on a Saturday night close to 6 pm without reservations so our only option was to eat at the bar. Nice decor and vibe. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The bartenders got busy quick so the service could have been more attentive but they were pleasant. The presentation of each dish was impressive. Live music began at 7 pm – a smooth duet of a singer and keyboardist. We liked the international song repertoire that makes you feel like you’re on vacation but if you’re looking for a quiet place to talk it got louder as they went on. A bit on the pricey side but good size portions. We plan to go back and sit in the dining room. A good place for family gatherings and special occasions. The pizzas looked amazing and were reasonably priced.

Food, service, and ambiance was impeccable. Staff were very friendly as well as the GM. Had a chance to thank him, his name was Michele. Nice to see a leader on the floor hands on supporting the team.
Had the pecorino pizza, meatballs, cannoli dip, chocolate lava cake and some wine. Nice wine selection. Danny the bartender top notch as well.

Cefalù blew me away. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portion sizes were no joke—you definitely won’t leave hungry. They serve real Sicilian dishes, not watered-down versions, and everything from the appetizers to dessert was on point.
The place itself looks amazing—clean, sharp, and comfortable. The staff was super friendly and attentive, made me feel right at home. They also have free valet, which was a nice bonus and made getting in and out easy.
The crowd that night was wholesome and laid-back, good energy all around. No drama, no noise—just people enjoying good food and company.
I’ll 100% be back, and I’m already thinking about hosting a big event here. If you want legit Sicilian food with great service and a relaxed atmosphere, this is the spot.

We tried Cefalu for the first time. There was a private party being served and the main dining room was being used. The bar area is a great place for spacious dining.
We didn’t get a regular server because of this party. Instead we got an apology and then the best service from a non-server!
Attentive, prompt and very friendly.
A bumpy start turned into a delicious meal and fantastic desserts. The manager checked with us to be sure everything was okay.
The starter was called Parmigina, it was delicious!
I like to order old school menu items at a new restaurant. So I had the Chicken Piccata. It was a happy smell and taste of long ago and missed recipes!
My wife had the Roasted Salmon and loved it. She said the salmon was cooked perfect, like many of the places she tries. She said the Herb Butter Sauce made good salmon, fantastic salmon.
We also ordered a side of the Smashed Potatoes, we weren’t disappointed!
Dessert was the Tiramisu (wife). Do yourself a favor and have one. The best of the local Italian restaurants, imo.
I had the Chocolate Lava Cake with vanilla gelato, another hit.
Nice wine list.

We had a private event at Cefalu and it could not have been more perfect. Working with Caroline was a dream and the staff so professional. Food was excellent and the decor was out of a magazine. Highly recommend

We had a party of 9 and couldn’t have been more pleased. Most people ordered differently and absolutely no one had any complaints. I would recommend it for a larger group. We have been there before as a pair and it was also good. Its not a place for intimacy, its more vibrant, still romantic, but is usually busy. (A great sign.) However, if busy, expect to wait a bit, those waitresses are working hard ;). I would recommend what ever looks good to you because, so far, it all been good. They also do wood-fired pizzas. (Which are my favorite style) If you order the brick chicken make sure you are hungry.

DELICIOUS food. Absolutely beautiful presentation and tasty food for a very reasonable price for the great quality. I have to commend Rusbin (our server) for his PHENOMENAL service. He had such a friendly, kind and very professional mannerism. I trusted in his recommendations such as the Octopus and appetizer and I was not disappointed at all. I was SO happy with Rusbin’s performance and hospitality. I have never had such a wonderful, pleasant server like Rusbin ever before. My family and I will most definitely be coming back to this establishment often for the delicious food and perfect service!
If I had to complain about anything, it was not a good first impression at the door upon entering. The young valet boy and a young waitress were leaned up against the wall flirting instead of greeting us nor even acknowledging our presence as we stood there waiting for the hostess…
