iPalici
Sicilian cuisine at Relais San Giuliano
Traditional dishes served in an ancient Etna palmento
The heart of Relais San Giuliano beats inside its 16th-century palmento, home today to iPalici, our refined Sicilian restaurant led by chef Giuseppe Corda.
A warm, cosy chic dining room: modern seating made from old wine barrels and fermentation vats, set against local stone walls, exposed wooden beams, glass and wrought iron. Elegance that renews itself while still honouring the past.
iPalici sets the stage for chef Giuseppe Corda’s cooking: Sicilian rural tradition finds new balance in dishes that please the eye as much as the palate, with vegetables taking centre stage in ways that never feel predictable.

The menu
Notes of countryside and sea blend with finesse in the iPalici chef’s signature dishes, for an extraordinary, sustainable Sicilian dining experience that wins over even the most discerning guests.
Culinary art that celebrates Sicilian tradition
A painter elevates a landscape into an ideal through their own eyes. Chef Giuseppe Corda does the same with his childhood memories and this place’s collective memory.
His dishes balance brio and restraint, recreating nature’s scents and colours, drawing the best from each season.
iPalici, a restaurant of real excellence at Relais San Giuliano
Even Sicily’s most traditional puddings become a canvas for creativity here, taken apart and rebuilt into new forms that surprise the eye and delight the palate.
This is cuisine that reinvents the past, with love. Every dish pairs precisely with an Etna DOC wine, chosen from the more than 150 labels in the Grottino, our wine cellar.
