Especially on hot summer nights. The portions are huge and delicious. This is how I imagine a pizzeria in Sicily will look like. It's beautifully decorated and has a great beer selection too! Can't recommend this place enough.

The food is delicious and I like how they have big 0.5 liter glasses to hold your beer. I strongly recommend to come early or make reservations as this place fills up quick!

I read that this place had the best gluten-free pizza people were raving about. They were right,…read morethe gluten-free pizza was excellent, and the regular pizza was also excellent. Pizzas are definitely large in size. They have a lot of other non pizza items so there's something for everyone. I definitely recommend coming here, it's a modern vibe, everyone was very friendly, it's centrally located so walking is easiest. Or if you're driving, you'll just have to find a parking spot somewhere and then plan to walk. Service is not fast, but definitely wasn't slow either, and I'd say prices are on par with similar places in the US. I think 60 euro for 2 pizzas, 1 wine/1 coke, water, and dessert, and the cover charge/seating charge.

This is a gorgeous spot with outdoor dining and a connected bar across the alley!…read more Service was great and English-speaking friendly . The pizza was good but not for us, with New Yorker palates. The pizza as floppy, covered in olive oil to the point of being soupy, and was not cut so it had to be cut while being super soggy. I would recommend if you like this type of pizza, but avoid if you want a crispier slice!

I just couldn't get enough…read more I was in the area on a business trip and one of my coworkers introduced our group to Donna's. When I say I owe him the first round, I mean every first round of the day as long as I am here. lol. First off, immediately after walking in, you can feel the homeliness feeling. They made us feel like family as they showed us to our seats. Next, we were greeted with a homemade mixed drink to start our meal. I that moment, I knew this was the place.. I've been here four times so far and I can not stay away from the Gorgonzola Angus steak. It is a perfectly prepared steak with the creamiest deliciousness I like to call Gorgonzola. Nice atmosphere and great staff make this my #1 place to go to any time I am in the area. To finish off the meal, you can get sugar shots (sugar cubes soaked in alcohol). *This is a must try. Please let me know if you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Walk up a hidden little alley off a main road and you'll find Donna Fortunata, one of the most…read morepopular and best-tasting restaurants in Motta Sant'Anastasia. The food is of high-quality, the service is excellent, and the interior is quaintly comforting. By the layout, you can tell this restaurant was converted from multiple old buildings and rooms that were connected together to form this establishment. In the back, you sit "outside" where there are 4 walls around you, but no roof. It was pleasant to sit back there in the evening with a cool breeze as long as you don't mind the occasional bug flying around (not a bad thing, just adds to the unique ambiance). If you're thinking pizza, I highly recommend ordering their namesake pizza, the Donna Fortunata. This wondrous concoction consists of smoked cheese, tomato cherry, mozzarella cheese, bacon, oil. The edge stuffed with tuma and olive paste. Yes, get this! If you like surprises, maybe get this one: "Fantasia Del Pizzaiolo: ?????????" Everything we had here was delicious and 100% picture-worthy. The mussel dish we ordered was unforgettable. It was a ton of mussels bathing in a flavorful tomato-based broth and a thin bread was baked over the whole thing. Dip the bread in your broth for a good time. The Cuttlefish Ink Pasta was interesting/tasty but wouldn't order it again unless it was pitch black like the picture. So if you're looking for real local flavor in a nice little Sicilian town, Donna Fortunata (Lucky Lady) is a gem you shouldn't miss out on.

Def One of the really good places to eat in Motta Sant'Anastasia!!!…read moreThis place is white table cloth decor but still home style feel. The staff are always wonderful and greet you with bright smiles as soon as you walk in. This was the first place we stopped when coming in after a LONG two days of traveling and bright smiles were definitely what we needed to see lol. The first thing I had to get used to was that all the restaurants (unless you want to eat panini n pizza every day) open around 5-6pm. There is practically NOTHING decent open before that! People here eat MUCH later! When we arrived around 630 we were one of the only families there, we left about 8 and it was STARTING to fill up!! We've been here twice while here. The first time I didn't get pictures but the second time I got a couple shots of the two AMAZING dishes we had. Pappardelle with a garlic sauce and muscles n clams, and a Veal dish with Mushroom cream sauce. I sopped up this rich mushroom sauce with their delicious bread!! I also highly recommend the sautéed spinach (tho if you aren't used to so much oil on your food ask them Not to put it on after they cook it!) Also recommend the mixed grilled seafood plate. The seafood here is Very Fresh!! Love you guys!! We'll be back in October!

I also recommend getting the wide egg noodle dish (Pappardelle Dello Chef)--it's creamy and tasty. Our whole spread of food, drinks, and dessert was not expensive at all so we were happy about that. While Motta Sant'Anastasia is a sleepy town, they still got some good eateries and Valentino is definitely one of them.

Authentic, delicious thin crust pizza brought us in - but the delicious food and excellent customer service brought us back again. There is a large outside courtyard for dining within sight and sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore. The wait staff are attentive and the customers are mostly local. We had pizza both nights, swordfish and risotto the first night and veal chop and spaghetti with prawns the second night. Each were Savored and devoured. And the prices were outstanding having just arrived from Capri and the Amalfi coast. All of that earns this restaurant 5 stars.
