"You know the service will be excellent when, to the question "Could you possibly...", you haven't even finished asking, and the answer is "We can do anything here." And indeed, it was like that. All wishes were fulfilled. The food was exquisite, the service professional and friendly. Prices were fair. I hope we will have time to come again. Edit: We visited the restaurant once again and if I could, I would give it 10 stars. The food is delicious, and the portions are large. The tomato soup tastes like it’s from heaven. Everything is absolutely amazing! All special requests were fulfilled. We got exactly what we ordered. The best restaurant in Sicily."

"Lovely service , very attentive. The place has a family run very nice atmosphere. Our waiter could speak English which as a pleasant surprise as our Italian is still a bit rusty. The food was delicious. Definitely a recommendation. We will go again."

"We were here in June 2024. We had the mixed cold fish starter with foccacia and both had a fish main. Everything was delicious. So we went back again and tried the mixed buschetta and two pasta mains which were equally good. Only the ambience is not that great with a relatively busy street right behind the tables. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant."

"Excellent and well priced sea food variety freshly caught. Service was also excellent and welcoming us. They let us use the washroom to change clothes as we were coming from a day at the beach. The owner Franco also helped us calling private taxi driver to take us back to our hotel for a really affordable rate."
