In a town renowned for its splendid villas built by the Palermo aristocracy, this restaurant occupies a small 16C tower on the edge of the historic centre. The name is a tribute to lemon, a fruit that grows in abundance in Bagheria. The restaurant has two elegant, contemporary-style floors, where dinner starts on the small terrace-cum-lounge – the setting for sampling a whole host of delicious appetisers. This is guests’ first encounter with a technical and creative cuisine that sensitively uses the finest local ingredients, while often following paths born from personal and imaginative ideas. The courteous and precise service is overseen by Giandomenico Gambino, a knowledgeable guide for pairings from the rich, well-stocked wine cellar.
