Hotel Signum

"Martina Caruso, head chef at Signum, pays homage to her land in a great interpretation of the colours and scents of Salina. Signum is not only a Michelin star restaurant, but a boutique hotel founded and run by the Caruso family, where hospitality is the key to discover and enjoy what Salina, and the harbour-village of Malfa. Best female chef 2019 - as per Veuve Clicquot and Michelin Italia - Martina Caruso is uplifting the colours of South Italian cuisine while giving new impetus to Sicilian hospitality. Together with her older brother, Luca Caruso, director of operations at Signum, they finally put the Aeolian Islands on the international map of Italy's most authentic, delicious and compelling destinations. Signum welcomes you on its terrace with a breathtaking view on the Tyrrhenian Sea and the near islands of Stromboli and Panarea. Seafood and vegetables are protagonists in Signum’s cuisine - although some rabbit and veal can be found in the menu - but the fil-rouge connecting with the surrounding wilderness are the capers featured in all shapes and sizes - even creamed in a savoury sorbet - so Salina will explode in your mouth, together with flashes of tomatoes, oreganoand the best extra-virgin olive oil served at your table. The wine list - artwork and dedication of Luca - is hyper-comprehensive of all the best Sicilian and Aeolian houses, with some outstanding Italian & International family estates and prominent growers.
