From the hilltop, the gaze opens wide over the sea of Acitrezza and its Faraglioni — volcanic sea stacks rising from the water like natural sculptures. Behind them, Mount Etna completes a breathtaking, ever-changing landscape.

The Restaurant
Forest Kitchen — La Cucina del Bosco
The cuisine of Tenuta Carminello is born from the surrounding landscape, reflecting its character and depth. Carefully sourced ingredients, wild herbs and the aromatic heritage of the territory come together in dishes that tell the story of what was once known as the Aci Forest (bosco d’Aci).
Our kitchen is a celebration of biodiversity — a tribute to the hilltop cooking traditions of the past, built on abundance and proximity to the land.
Game is one of the key ingredients that speaks to our roots: bold, intense flavours handled with respect and restraint, reinterpreted in a contemporary key without betraying their origin.
Tenuta Carminello is a meat-forward restaurant, featuring a curated selection of game and a dedicated pizzeria in Valverde. Here, authenticity meets vision against a backdrop that embraces both sea and Etna — the perfect setting for romantic dinners, family lunches and special occasions near Catania.
Events & Banqueting
Private Parties, Corporate Events, Weddings.
Every event finds its own scale here: historic spaces, genuine atmosphere, in-house catering.
For those who want a thoughtfully crafted, tailor-made event. For those who don’t want to meet minimum guest requirements. For those who prefer intimacy over a sprawling, impersonal venue.
Because special occasions deserve attention, not a crowd.
