Aperitivo on the Mamma Caura Rooftop: Seafood Tapas Above the Saline Ettore e Infersa

Aperitivo on the Mamma Caura Rooftop: Seafood Tapas Above the Saline Ettore e Infersa.
Perched above the salt pans of Marsala, the Mamma Caura rooftop offers a tightly curated aperitivo: a fixed-price formula that pairs a selection of seafood tapas with a drink of your choice while you take in the Saline Ettore e Infersa vista; in summer evenings the program can include the evocative sight of the manual night-time sea-salt harvest.

Views over the Saline Ettore e Infersa
The rooftop sits above the salt pans, framing direct views of Saline Ettore e Infersa — an essential element of the experience and the reason many choose this aperitivo at dusk.
A curated tapas formula with choices for every palate
The aperitivo is offered as a fixed menu priced at 65€/person and includes a selection of tapas (raw fish, cooked seafood or vegetarian options) plus a drink from a short list of choices.
Night-time salt harvest and flexible seating
From June onward the menu shifts seasonally and, during July and August, visitors may witness the manual night salt harvest; the rooftop is open-air but there is an indoor restaurant (first floor) available in case of bad weather.
