Nice location on the waterfront and great seafood. The mussels are some of the best we have had…read moreand we are used to fresh seafood. The staff was friendly as well. Only gripe is they seem to charge a premium for the location. I guess this must be a resort town or something, but it was nearly double the price for the same dishes you could get in Palermo. Quality food and wine though, even at the price it is worth checking out.

We were 6 adults and 3 children. We had a sample of shared anti-pastis for starters: Very good…read morequality squids, delicious raw-marinated (!) shrimps, super-fresh tasty anchovies, and a couple of other good dishes. The primos that followed were really good too. It was a splendid evening. Great food, very nice local white wine to match, and great service. :)

An amazing Sicilian seafood experience…read more The seafood was very fresh (caught the day it was cooked) and the cuisine was prepared with a true Sicilian flair in this quaint but elegant trattori. The restaurant is a family affair, and the tradition has been passed down from father, Franco, to son Simone that is classically trained in the culinary arts, but is heavily influenced by the experiences of growing up at the restaurant. The restaurant is situated facing the fishing harbor of Porticello, with an open patio sidewalk dining experience that captures the ambiance of the working fishing village. I enjoyed an epic 5-course meal that really gave me a deep appreciation for the delicious and uniquely Sicilian seafood dishes.

My girlfriend and I were recommended this restaurant when we arrived in Palermo. The restaurant is…read morelocated on the water in Porticello and the views are absolutely spectacular. Now to the food... Everything was excellent. We shared the Shrimp and bottarga Spaghetti and it was so goood and so fresh. The service was also great! Friendly and spoke good english! For dessert we had the Raspberry Mousse which was light and fresh. Highly recommend this place for a great overall experience!!!

One of the best restaurants we have eaten in on our five week Italy Road Trip. We stayed nearby…read more(actually just 50m away across the road) in our holiday home for five nights. And we came here for four dinners....we loved it so much. It is a quite big and very popular restaurant. Not much among international tourists, but popular with locals and Italian Tourists as well. There's a good number of tables inside, but in summer you definitely wanna sit outside. There's lots of space, but on weekends the place gets packed, be sure to make a reservation. We had lots of great food here. It's mostly Italian food, Pasta and Seafood Dishes and Pizze as well. Ingredients are fresh and the kitchen does some nice innovative twists. Many dishes using Pistachio in some unexpected, but tasty ways. Here's a list of the dishes we had: Tomato and Meat Bruschetta - good and fresh Shrimp / Pistachio Risotto - nicely cooked, fresh Shrimp, nice Pistachio twist Seafood Pasta - a classic; al dente and fresh seafood Spaghetti Vongole - another classic; pasta cooked perfectly, super fresh vongole Ravioli with Shrimp and Salmon - nice homemade pasta with tasty fresh salmon Salmon / Mozzarella Plate - huge size; great tasting smoked salmon Pizza 4 Gusti - rich and plenty; could easily fill up two people Cozze - freshly steamed mussels; good stuff Seafood Pasta (Fricelli), nice pasta again; very filling! Linguini w/ tomatoes, pistachio and swordfish; another great combination of flavors You see, a lot of great food! And lucky for us, so close to our "home" for that time. Service was always very friendly, attentive and also helpful. A glass of Prosecco comes with every dinner....complementary! Also a nice Ice bucket with the wine. Great staff, great food, great menu! It was really one of our highlights on this Italian vacation. We had a dog with, but she had to stay home, no dogs allowed, but we understand that. No minus points for this. Prices are fair, you might expect a bigger bill. We always paid between 45 - 60 Euros. For 1-2 starters, two mains and a whole bottle of wine. Highly recommended!

Bitta Ristro certainly surprised us. We were staying in AltaVilla and went into town for groceries…read moreexpecting to head back to the beach to be let down by some tourist trap. Luckily my wife found Biitta Ristro in Google and we were very happy she did. First, we didn't have reservations but were accommodated none less. Being led upstairs after the doors opened we found a place that must feel great in the shoulder seasons. We opted for the patio with a cozy feel, charming light, and a 'stage' set of balconies just waiting for participants. As Americans, we can get through antipasti and primi, but seconds is barely possible. We get full rather quickly and wish that didn't occur tonight. Our antipasti of grilled pulpo was AMAZING! Served with potatoes and a caponata. Don't think twice, just get it. The octopus was sooo tender, and the charring was very tasty. I'll stop there.... get there any enjoy! Oh, and the service? Excellent! We felt like we were the only customers, even thou the place was filled. Last... they brew their own beer... the pale ale was excellent!

The food is good, but the service is bad (even by European standards). We ordered two antipastos,…read moreand one didn't come until after our main pizzas came. We got sat at 9 pm, and our pizzas didn't come until 1030 pm. We got served the wrong antipasto and we weren't sure so we started eating it. They came and took it away when they realized they made a mistake and put it right on the table beside us for the people. It is a super pretty patio area however and if you're not super hungry or in a rush, it's good.

The food was some of the best I had in the area and the salads are delicious. Save room for the…read moreoutstanding desserts!
