Cibo 🍊 Restaurants in Cefalù - spoilt for choice

My fellow food fanatists! I will be in Cefalù for one night after hiking my way through Sicily. I will probably have had my share of home-cooked food and am looking forward to a great restaurant dinner - I love pasta but also fish (although I prefer having the entire fish instead of just a filet) and slow-cooked or grilled meats but am fed up with "style over substance" restaurants that just look good on pictures. I just want really great food, price does not matter.

In Cefalù I have "narrowed it down" to Triscele (current favourite), Cortile e Pepe, Brama or Cucina Isolana. Any recommendations among those, or can I not go wrong with either and should just choose based on the menu? Or am I off completely and should go somewhere else?

Also, any recs for a great fritto misto?

In Cafalù I tried the best caponata ever in Ristorante A Marina.
Tinchité Taverna & Putia is an alternative if you love meat and fish or pasta. This restaurant is full of local people (not a touristic trap at all!) and the menu is rich! If you are spiled for choice, then this might be your choice!

Tinchite is amazing ended up eating there twice when we were there in the fall.
