I recently had dinner at La Maiolica and while the experience was fine, it wasn't particularly memorable. The restaurant is certainly not the place for a special occasion, feeling more suited to a quick, everyday meal. The food was decent, with simple and tasty dishes, but nothing really stood out or felt out of the ordinary. Similarly, the service was okay but didn't leave a lasting impression. We found it quite difficult to communicate with the staff, as they barely spoke any English, which makes it a challenging place for foreigners to dine. The restaurant's ambiance is a real highlight, particularly the striking tree inside. However, this is let down by the location, which is quite far out and in an unappealing neighbourhood. Overall, La Maiolica provided a perfectly acceptable meal, but it lacks the memorable qualities that would make me want to come back again.

I am so enthralled with this restaurant. The setting and ambience is quite unique. The ceiling is a dense lattice of tree branches. The waitstaff was very attentive and polite. Our food was delicious and reasonably priced. After dinner they showed us through their art gallery! Great evening out.

Left hungry and felt not welcomed! We visited the Restaurant for dinner on a Saturday night end July. When we arrived only a handful of the tables on the terrace had been occupied by guests. From the start the young head waiter ignored our table. It took about 30 min before the waiter allowed us to place our order for wine and food. The wine arrived swiftly and was served by the young and friendly waitress. By 11:15pm that night, 3 hours after our arrival at La Maiolica we had only received our wine and starters (=tasty) and no sign of the other food we ordered. All other tables around us received their orders and the general attention as you would expect from a good Restaurant. The young waitress just came to apologize for not getting our food, etc. We don’t speak much Italian and the head waiters English is very basic. Instead him teaming up with his female colleague (who speaks fluent English) to explain the menu and to take our order. The head waiter rather decided to ignore and to forget about our table . We are friendly, polite and worldly individuals with well balanced expectations. We have seen and experienced much better in many other Restaurants in Italy. After 3 hours we gave up and left (hungry).

I've traveled the world and this place is a find! It's a bit difficult to find but Menfi is a small town, parking on the street was easy. We enjoyed the food service and ambiance. highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely restaurant in an Old Palace. The staff is attentive and some of them speak good english. We waited a bit too Long for the Food - but everything was very delicious. At the end of our meal we were giving a guidet tour of the Palace and Gallery.
