IDENTITY
Sicilian roots
In the heart of Cefalù’s historic center, Cornerlab Bottega is a space dedicated to Sicilian gastronomic tradition, the careful selection of ingredients, and the pleasure of sharing.
Our bottega was created as a meeting point between authentic Sicilian cuisine and a contemporary vision: a place to stop for an aperitivo in Cefalù, an informal dinner, or a moment to be enjoyed without haste, accompanied by good food and carefully selected spirits.
We offer handcrafted sharing boards featuring Sicilian cheeses, selected cured meats, and seafood preserves made with tuna, anchovies, and mackerel, sourced from small producers and quality artisanal processes. Each offering is completed with seasonal vegetables, fresh fruit, dried fruit, and artisanal bread, for a balanced and distinctive experience.
Alongside the sharing boards, the bottega tells the story of the territory through the warm dishes of Sicilian tradition: iconic plates such as baked anelletti, sarde a beccafico, and Palermo- and Bagheria-style sfincione, prepared in accordance with historic recipes and designed to be shared.
Cornerlab Bottega is also a point of reference in Cefalù for those seeking cocktails, wines, and selected spirits, curated to complement the flavors of the cuisine and enhance every tasting.
Whether for an aperitivo, a tasting, or an evening in the historic center, Cornerlab Bottega represents an authentic way to experience Cefalù through taste, blending tradition, conviviality, and quality.

INNOVATION
The Heart of CornerLab’s Cuisine
The cuisine of CornerLab Bottega is passionately led by chef Ivan Di Bartolo, who, together with his brigade, creates dishes that celebrate Sicilian tradition with a touch of innovation. The CR21 restaurant in Palermo is the beating heart of the preparations, where each dish comes to life through the selection of fresh, local ingredients. Ivan Di Bartolo’s brigade works with precision to deliver a unique gastronomic experience, rooted in the quality and seasonality of the products.
In the culinary laboratory of CR21, excellence is the result of a constant dialogue between land and sea, between Sicilian ingredients and modern techniques. Each dish tells a story, a sensory journey that begins in the Sicilian land and arrives on the tables of CornerLab Bottega.
CornerLab Bottega is the meeting point between creativity and tradition, where Sicilian cuisine is reinvented with every dish, bringing to the table an experience that moves and surprises with every taste.
