My thing is... idk why in Europe it's so common to have bbq sauce on burgers and chicken wings in Europe I guess it's like a staple here lol I really don't care for bbq sauce that much so I already was expecting the food to be alright. The beer on tap was good tho I will say and the place was packed! I ordered a burger with some fries and onion rings I'll say that the burger was good but it started to break apart because of the amount of grilled onion and the type of bread they used. I'll give the burger a 4/5 for flavor and just all around experience at this spot. Would I go here again? Yeah I would why not I'll try something different next time !

I regretted it not being able to try.

The experience did not match what atmosphere and attitude they are trying to convey with their name and the street culture associated with the artwork. The wine was good as was the Viola artisanal beer. The pasta plate was good, but the grilled vegetables were cold and my pork breaded with pistachios didn't really have any pork. Very popular with the locals so perhaps I just didn't get the vibe they were going for.

Not finding Sicilian…read morerestaurants close by with current Yelp reviews or showing hours of operation, we decided to walk to this burger place. What an AMAZING experience! It was "early" for dinner but the server treated us warmly. They had two draft beers and offered a taste sample. Our order was the blonde ale, some wings, beef short ribs and a bacon cheeseburger (I know- "American food in Sicily, what were we thinking). The wings (7 pieces) were hot and delicious served with three sauces. Our entrees arrived and to our amazement, the beef ribs were fork tender and delicious. The burger was cooked perfect with a house made sauce - also delicious. The long and short is the locals have an amazing, "American style" smokehouse dining option that would be a big success in the BBQ locations in the US. Strongly suggest you check it out!

If you're unsure of what to get and/or you're not really too adventurous, just get the fried octopus and squid cone. Do get a Sicilian beer to go with your meal. It's little gems like these that make a trip worth your while!

The item that caught my eye as I walked by was their dish of the day, a seafood caponata. Caponata is a typical Sicilian dish made of chopped eggplants, peppers, onions, tomato paste, olives, capers, and pine nuts, but the unique feature of Scirocco's caponata was that it also contained fried chunks of a local Sicilian fish called capone (incidentally making this a capone caponata!). The eggplant salad was served chilled and had the perfect balance of sweet, acidic, and savory flavors from the combination of the cooked vegetables and tomato paste, but it was the meaty chunks of fish that really brought this caponata over the top!

Come here to have lunch with the locals, and get a really, really, (really) good pizza. (If you're not in the mood, there's a lot of other options - we sat near plenty of pasta eaters if that's what you are in the mood for.) This is the definition of a quick lunch spot, the chairs, tables...super casual. Almost like a cafeteria, but maybe one slight notch above from an ambiance perspective. Not much AC, super hot, who cares. I got a gigantic, ice cold beer to mitigate the heat, and it was a perfect pairing to the pizza. Super simple - sauce, cheese, prosciutto. They even cut it in half for us since we were splitting it. Somehow those three ingredients came together so perfectly that the pizza was almost creamy. That pizza, a 66cl beer, and a huge water - super delicious, we walked out full, and it was only €16. Insanity.
