Local seafood and meat cuisine
The restaurant's cuisine focuses on first and second courses that showcase the sea and the Hyblaean hinterland. The ingredients used include carob mushrooms, Pachino PGI cherry tomatoes, Moncada yellow date tomatoes, and Hyblaean extra virgin olive oil.
The preparations aim to maintain a good balance between flavor, freshness, and structure, with calibrated cooking times so as not to overload the dish.
The wine list emphasizes Sicilian labels, with a selection that includes whites to pair with fish, reds for meat dishes, and a few natural wines for those seeking more distinctive flavors. Rounding out the offerings, a selection of craft beers offers alternative pairings, especially with the specialty dough pizzas and fried dishes, always paired with locally sourced ingredients.
Cooking in a wood-fired oven produces a pizza with a light, well-developed crust and a springy yet stable base, suitable for even complex toppings.
The menu features classic dishes and combinations that incorporate the catch of the day: tuna, bluefish, squid ink, and shellfish are paired with Mediterranean vegetables, oils, and herbs, for a consistent interpretation of the region, even on pizza.
PIZZERIA
Long-matured dough and wood-fired oven
The pizzeria section is one of the cornerstones of Bella Lira's offerings. The dough is made with select flours and long-aged doughs, designed to promote digestibility and a healthy airy texture.
Alongside the traditional base, there are doughs made with ancient Sicilian grains, wholemeal flours, hemp or moringa variants, and even specific doughs for those who need gluten-free solutions.
