Suino nero dei Nebrodi (the park's DOC black pork) is the star attraction at the Relais Villa Miraglia's excellent restaurant, where big picture windows overlook a forest-backed lawn strewn with picnic tables for warm-weather dining. Beyond the suino nero, enjoy hearty portions of ravioli stuffed with truffles, potato and pumpkin, delicious grilled sausages and lamb or veal with sautéed local mushrooms.
