The story
On the island of Salina, in the village of Malfa, the Signum restaurant is the culinary heart of the Hotel Signum. Chef Martina Caruso has earned a Michelin star for her contemporary Sicilian cuisine, which she describes as an act of freedom: “I listen to the territory, I follow emotions.”
Her kitchen is rooted in the island’s produce. The menu draws from the garden’s treasures, ancient grains, local olive oil, and the day’s catch from the surrounding sea. It is a cuisine that feels both personal and deeply connected to the land. The restaurant itself is a warm, elegant space with outdoor seating overlooking the Mediterranean, where the scent of lemon and bougainvillea fills the air.
Alongside the gourmet restaurant, the Signum Bistrot offers a more casual selection of the same refined cooking, and the bar is ideal for a pre-dinner drink. The wine cellar is carefully curated, focusing on great terroirs and the stories of the vines, for the best sensory experience.
Dining at Signum is an experience of simple pleasures and genuine hospitality. As the restaurant says, it is a place to find your time and space, the joy of living and tasting, and the warmth of home to carry in your heart.
