    A Dive into Cinematic Legend No visit to Savoca would be complete without stopping at the legendary Bar Vitelli, one of the most iconic locations from The Godfather. It was here that Michael Corleone, in one of the film’s most memorable scenes, asks Apollonia’s father for her hand in marriage, seated right under the shaded terrace of the bar. The atmosphere remains unchanged over time: vintage photographs, original details, and the unmistakable Sicilian charm will take you on a true journey into cinema history. Guests who wish to do so may choose to enter and sit down to enjoy the setting from a privileged perspective, with any refreshments available for purchase directly on site.
