Antico Caffe San Giorgio
About
Antico Caffè San Giorgio, perched on the hilltop town of Castelmola, has been welcoming visitors since 1907. Nestled on Piazza Sant’Antonino, the café’s storied bar, restaurant, and pizzeria combine maritime heritage with a warm, convivial atmosphere. Its signature almond wine, Blandanino, created by local winemaker Don Vincenzo Blandano, is still produced on a nearby estate and remains a prized specialty. Diners can enjoy wood‑fired pizzas, fresh seafood, homemade pasta, regional pastries, and an extensive wine list featuring local Sicilian varieties. The expansive terrace offers a sweeping view that stretches from the Calabrian coast up to Mount Etna, making it a popular spot for sunset drinks, romantic meals, and family outings.
