Antica Stazione Di Ficuzza

The lunch menu for 26 Euro or the mini lunch menu for 18 Euro are epic in taste, quantity and selection. I had not been there for perhaps 8 years, but a December weekday lunch was still worth the trip from Palermo. If the weather is ok you can walk it off along the old railway line

Stayed the night here before visiting the royal hunting lodge. Dinner was great. The almond pasta fantastic and the pork chop was huge and could be split between people. As a plus it was cooked to perfection. The rooms were nice. Beds were also free than most Italian beds and the pillows very nice. The shower has good water pressure if you wait for it. We will be back here again. Can’t ask for a prettier setting.

I attended a wedding here with my partner, and can only describe the food as being of excellent quality and served expertly in generous quantities. The location is beautiful, and we also stayed here overnight. The rooms are pleasant and functional, and for the low price are great value. If you prefer a more luxurious type of accommodation, I would not stay here, but would highly recommend a visit to the restaurant.

Siamo stati qui per un matrimonio in famiglia. L'alloggio è semplice ma ragionevole per il prezzo richiesto. La posizione è attraente, anche a dicembre, e l'edificio è caldo e accogliente, specialmente vicino al grande camino. Nessun lamento riguardo al cibo, anche se un po' disorganizzato al mattino. Non possiamo essere d'accordo con altri commenti sulla città stessa, che abbiamo trovato molto trascurata e sporca. Nel complesso, un buon soggiorno.

Non è tutti i giorni che si mangia in una vecchia stazione ferroviaria! Dai numerosi antipasti tradizionali siciliani al primo piatto con pasta incredibile, al dessert (panna cotta qui sotto), siamo usciti saziati con un pasto incredibilmente delizioso. Il personale è stato efficiente e disponibile nel farmi conoscere le loro numerose opzioni senza glutine. Questo è stato il pasto più gustoso del nostro recente viaggio in Sicilia, e probabilmente anche il più economico. Inoltre, ci siamo divertiti a passeggiare sulla proprietà e non ne avevamo mai abbastanza! Nel nostro prossimo viaggio in Sicilia, faremo sicuramente una visita speciale alla pittoresca Ficuzza per soggiornare nell'hotel e ma...

Il cibo qui è delizioso. L'atmosfera potrebbe diventare un po' rumorosa poiché è frequentata principalmente da locali (centinaia, seriamente!), quindi non è l'ambiente ideale per una cena romantica e tranquilla. Ma il cibo qui è estremamente buono e vale davvero la pena faticare per arrivarci. È anche molto vicino a una splendida tenuta di caccia costruita da Ferdinando I, che merita una visita. Una passeggiata nel bosco dopo pranzo aiuterà la digestione della quantità di cibo consumata. Il menu è nella maggior parte dei casi fisso e comprende circa 10 tipi di antipasti molto invitanti, seguiti da due tipi di pasta e un piatto principale che la maggior parte delle persone non riesce a finire...

We stopped here on our way back from Corleone. Literally out in the middle of nowhere. We were the only people here on this particular afternoon. The waiter did not speak English (thought he was very patient with us! but our driver translated for us. Our menu choice was to get a traditional Sicilian meal or to order off of their menu. We were in Sicily so we ordered the traditional meal. First, a 9+ course appetizer (for 4 people . We filled up because everything was so delicious. Next course we each got a dinner plate filled with 2 types of homemade pasta with fresh topping. Even better! Next was a huge piece of fresh sausage with roasted potatoes and veggies. Then onto dessert and, of cour...

Having traveled a considerable amount and trying to be fair and considerate to the people and their business, I wrestle with such a low rating. To be fair I’d give the restaurant portion of this location a 4 rating. The food was exceptional, voluminous in portions, and the service exceptional. Thus the title. However this location is a wedding venue with the lodging portion an afterthought. Upon arrival the person simply handed us a key and told me the room number, which is on level three with no lift. That was it. No welcome just room number with the key. The 1st night was not a problem as we were exhausted from the overnight flight. However as a wedding venue the 2nd and last was horrific....

Lonely Planet recommended this hotel and restaurant in the tiny town of Ficuzza, between Corleone and Palermo. SIRI was having a difficult time with the Italian, I guess, and we had many misdirections in finding Ficuzza. When we finally got to the charming little mountain town in a forest preserve, we couldn't find the restaurant. We asked a perfectly dressed elderly gentleman, who spoke little English, for help and since he couldn't express the directions, he walked us down a grassy hill in the forest to the hotel and restaurant! It turns out his grandson lives in San Jose. The hotel, a restored old railroad station thus the name) is beautiful and the obvious setting for many wedding and ot...
