The dishes collect a story and give those sensations that belong to Salina and these places. Small works of art that preserve a deep research drawing on the agri-food heritage of the island.

Menu

Authenticity and freshness of the territory

Martina Caruso's is a 'land and sea' cuisine that is characterised by the freshness and lightness of the ingredients, creative flair and mastery of technique. A simple cuisine, made up of Mediterranean flavours and enriched by technique and innovation, capable of surprising and tempting at the same time.
For the chef, who is viscerally attached to her island and the entire Sicilian territory, cooking has always been a jubilation of emotions, an act of freedom, the place where she can best express herself, where she can include contaminations of cultures and excellences from other territories, an essential basis for giving rise to new ideas and new interpretations. With her cooking, in fact, Martina Caruso wants to enhance and support small local producers, reinterpreting Aeolian raw materials with flair, intelligence and mastery, enhancing their flavours, smells and typical products. This gives rise to dishes such as Salina caper ice cream or bagna cauda with raw sea urchins.
From breakfast to light lunch to gourmet courses, a meal at Signum becomes a voyage of discovery capable of providing an unforgettable sensory experience.

Cellar

Great terroirs and wine stories for the best sensory experience

The Signum cellar encompasses the most evocative and prestigious wine worlds. Paths through terroirs, projects by vignerons and small producers, stories of lives bottled by the big names, thousands of labels designed to offer the best sensory experience suited to every moment, from aperitifs to wine pairing with restaurant dishes, to meditation after a meal.
The construction of this wine cellar is an ambitious project in the making, the result of work begun 20 years ago and personally supervised by Luca Caruso, the hotel's patron manager. A careful and thoughtful selection of more than 1,200 labels that have the burden and honour of accompanying the proposals of a starred chef, offering a wine proposal of equal level. The focus of this wide selection is the Mediterranean with its multiple expressions, starting with the persuasive richness of the wine heritage of Salina and the Aeolian Islands. There is a strong link to some Sicilian wines that have been kept in the cellar for a long time and to bubbles, one of Luca Caruso's passions. This is why the Signum's wine list is a riot of Italian sparkling wines in their most significant interpretations, the great Champagnes and small maisons.

Signum Bar

A lounge bar facing a unique panorama

By the side of the pool, or looking at the spectacular sunsets, or under the stars, you can enjoy drinks and specialty cocktails. Raffaele, professional and passionate mixologist, creates small original masterpieces with herbs and fruits taken from the luxuriant garden, green heart of the Signum. Sips with pure Aeolian taste, which contain all the scents and colors of the surrounding nature. From those made from hazelnut and elderberry flowers to the spicy or citrusy ones, the bar's menu offers Mediterranean delights to sip, which can also become gourmet specialties combined with the taste routes offered by the chef Martina.

Martina Caruso
Martina CarusoChef

Chef Patron of the Signum Restaurant, she is the youngest chef to receive the coveted Michelin Star 2019 in Italy. A passionate dreamer with a fighting spirit, like a true Sicilian who has been able and willing to put herself on the line. Brought up amidst the traditional aromas of her father Michele Caruso's cuisine, then a self-taught chef at Signum, and amidst the guests of the establishment looking for the best conditions to unplug from the world, at the age of 14 she felt that the future would be there among those cookers. He then decided to enrol in hotel management school and join his father in the kitchen during the summer season.
So many years, so many experiences and so many awards follow one another for Martina Caruso, until the most recent recognition that arrives on the occasion of the awarding of new stars in the Michelin firmament on 23/11/2021, the date on which the Signum Restaurant is awarded the innovative Green Star, for demonstrating a particular focus on sustainability.
