The typical recipes of our land! Let yourself be conquered by the true flavors of Sicily.
NESCY isn’t just a restaurant.
It’s a vision. A way of life.
It’s Sicily through flavours—homegrown, street-born, filled with tradition, and ever-evolving with sincerity.
NESCY is our spot by the sea, gazing out over the shoreline between Alcamo Marina and Castellammare del Golfo.
A crossroads of cultures, where cuisine becomes narrative and the local essence turns into a lived experience.
We have brought to life what runs deep within us: culture, memory, and time-honoured gestures.
We’ve turned them into a culinary offering that is contemporary, heartfelt, and vibrant.
NESCY was born to give new meaning to Sicilian street food—transforming it into a story, an emotion, a sense of belonging.
Each dish is born from intuition—guided by the seasons, the catch of the day, and a desire to do things right.
We use only local ingredients, carefully selected and cooked on the spot, to offer you an experience that is both authentic and unrepeatable.
Eating, for us, is pure pleasure.
Then, it’s about sharing.
And ultimately, a lasting memory.
Nescy is a street food restaurant located in Castellamare del Golfo, Sicily.
The restaurant pays homage to the street food that is a part of Sicilian identity. Street food is a symbol of history and popular traditions, telling stories of crowded alleys, street vendors, and simple, tasty, and genuine ingredients.
Nescy revisits typical Sicilian specialties with innovative combinations, choosing ingredients from the local territory, often seasonal, for enticing and unique flavor combinations. We have chosen the name NESCY with care, attention and love for our land.
NESCY means N-Nature E-Ethic S-Sicily C-Coppu Y-You !
Furthermore in Sicilian, Nesci means going out, and therefore for us it is a way to invite you to live life enjoying the colours of nature.
THE HEART OF OUR KITCHEN
It all begins with a single value: respect.
For what the land gives us, for the rhythm of the seasons, and for the tradition that taught us to turn little into plenty.
Our plates carry the soul of everyday Sicily: bold, generous, never boring.
We cook only what’s meant to be served fresh—made to order, right on the spot.
Starters welcome you with seaside bruschetta, fava bean “maccu”, hand-cut crudo, seasonal caponata, crispy veggie chips, and arancine that capture both land and sea.
First courses feature fresh pasta, rich sauces, sea urchin, bottarga, and panelle turned into comforting lasagna.
Every bite follows the season, the sea, and our love for doing things right.
Main courses are a tribute to both sea and earth: seared squid, tuna with seasonal fruit, grouper with Pantelleria capers, mixed fried seafood, grilled selections, and shareable plates.
Our buns are more than sandwiches—they’re full-on experiences: tuna with caponata, octopus and mint, black pork with caramelized apples, pink shrimp with almonds.
Served with crispy vegetable chips, of course.
Our pizzeria is where roots meet creativity.
Think: fried pizzas, margheritas that smell like home, and unique doughs topped with fondue, sea urchin, truffle, Sicilian cured meats, and fresh seasonal veg.
Feeling curious? Try our sushi pizzas—little flavour bombs made with fish, meat, or veggies, surprising toppings, refined touches, and premium ingredients.
For dessert, we go straight to the heart: cassata, cannolo, cassatedde, sweet panella, tiramisù, and Florio.
These are our “liccumari”—flavours that bring back memories and spark joy.
Aperitivo? Boards from land or sea, to share with a cocktail in hand.
Want to take NESCY home? Check out our takeaway menu: crispy fried bites, mini arancine, sandwiches, pasta, mains, couscous, and custom salads.
Every dish is a piece of who we are—made with true Sicilian treasures: Trapani sea salt, paglina onions from Castrofilippo, Nubia’s red garlic, Castelbuono manna, Villalba lentils.
Our kitchen is like us: vibrant, honest, and rooted.
We’re not here to show off.
We’re here to stir your soul.
The true flavors of Sicily are encapsulated in "coppi," the typical paper cones with many specialties all prepared on the spot: fried small fish, fresh squid and red prawns from Mazara, Palermo's chickpea fritters, and delicious arancine. The ingredients of our land are the protagonists of the first courses, reinvented by the chef's creativity, and of sandwiches with sensational flavors.
Let yourself be surprised by the catch of the day. And for dessert, be tempted by traditional recipes: granita, cassata, cannoli, and much more. Our dishes have always been a tribute to authenticity and beauty! The uniqueness of our territory's ingredients is the inspiration for our recipes.
From this attention and love for regional specialties, we have developed a desire to include in our idea of cuisine even those ingredients that, due to their characteristics, are at risk of extinction, such as the "presidi slow food": Castrofilippo's straw onion, Castelbuono's manna, Nubia's red garlic, Villalba's lentils, and Trapani's sea salt.
OUR PLACE
At NESCY, you don’t just eat—you feel good.
We designed it to feel like home, with the energy of a piazza where people meet, share, and enjoy the moment.
Our seaside terrace makes everything magical—nestled between Alcamo Marina and Castellammare del Golfo, where the breeze smells like salt and sunsets blend with the sound of toasts and laughter.
From Caltagirone tiles to the soft glow of warm lights, and a buzzing bar corner always in motion—every detail is crafted to make you feel welcome, with effortless style.
Dishes come to life before your eyes.
The aroma reaches you before the taste—hinting at the experience to come.
NESCY is a place that welcomes, that connects, that stays with you.
A true place.
A place with a view.
In Nescy, you can breathe the most authentic Sicily!
Prestigious ceramics from Caltagirone, with their geometric patterns and refined decorations in shades of blue and white, enhance the furnishings, making the atmosphere even warmer and more welcoming.
The central element of our environments is the open kitchen, where street food takes shape and every dish is prepared rigorously on the spot. Order our specialties and taste them on our terraces.
We don’t follow trends—we follow the land.
Our dough is made with ancient Sicilian flours—like whole Russello and Tumminia—and we let time do its part through a slow, natural, and living fermentation.
The result? A pizza that’s authentic, light, fragrant—nourishing without weighing you down.
Each base is unique, and every topping is designed to enhance its character.
Alongside, we serve warm bread made with the same flours—perfectly paired with the right dish at the right moment.
This isn’t just “our take” on pizza.
It’s how we feel pizza, and it’s waiting to be discovered.
We went to this restaurant with friends and were impressed by the professionalism, but above all by the goodness of the dishes. The prices are proportional to the excellent quality of the food, which is truly exceptional. The restaurant is very welcoming and based on Sicilian tradition. The only flaw is that they have no flaws! I will definitely return.
I go to the restaurant and order a "Coppu Russu Calamaro", a delicious fried cup, fresh and very tasty seafood! I recommend it! The place is very characteristic and welcoming, as well as the staff being very helpful and friendly! I will definitely go back to try many other dishes.
Suitable venue for all ages and especially for all budgets (considering the quality of the dishes offered). We were positively impressed by the delicacy of the dishes and the courtesy of the staff. The environment is very nice and carefully crafted down to the smallest details. Located on a staircase that leads from the center to the port. We will come back to taste the other dishes.
Nescy offers a wide choice of coppi, sandwiches, pasta and desserts. All between fish, meat and vegetables. Highly recommended if you want to taste real Sicilian dishes. I had a fried coppo with red mazzara prawns, squid rings and zucchini flowers: the frying was dry and crunchy, the fish was very fresh, you could feel the true taste of the sea.
We are located in Contrada Magazzinazzi, right by the sea, between Alcamo Marina and Castellammare del Golfo.
A peaceful place, easy to reach, where the sea is part of everyday life and the atmosphere invites you to relax.
