Every year, our family takes time to return home to Sicily, not only to visit family and lifelong friends, but also to care for our olive groves, where we produce and import the olive oil we proudly serve at Safina.

During our trip, we also spent time researching new recipes, discovering new inspirations, and reconnecting with the traditions that make Sicilian cooking so special to us.

To allow our team time to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate as well, Safina will be closed:

June 21st – July 8th, 2026

We will reopen on Wednesday, July 9th, 2026.

We are incredibly grateful for your continued support, loyalty, and understanding. We look forward to returning refreshed, inspired, and excited to share new ideas, flavors, and experiences with you.

From our family to yours, thank you, and we’ll see you soon.

Con affetto,

Salvatore Safina & The Safina Family
