We had 3 dishes of fish prepared in different ways with traditional fare of pasta and bread to compliment. Although I do not drink, they also provided wine which the students claimed was delicious. Dessert also was a real treat. I would highly recommend this restaurant. If I had had more time in the area, I gladly would have returned for another meal. Each dish was done with care and had a delicate touch. Such a fun and truly memorable experience! Thank you!

Close to the beach and marina, they offer a plethora of Sicilian goodies, with the best arancini I've ever eaten. The prices too cannot be beat. My cousin ordered several for me to try. The large one (bigger than my fist) was filled with meat, carrot and peas. I could taste a little red wine, too. Was perfectly crisp on the outside with tender Arborio rice on the inside. The croquetas with cheese and ham were also good. I was too stuffed for dessert and opted for a soda versus ordering from the full bar and beer options. This is a filling and very affordable place to grab a meal.

We had two paninis on our first visit. fresh tuna salad, which was actually quite lovely, and one with panelle (fried chickpea flour snacks) and potato. The sandwich bread had a nice sesame flavor. But it was just carb city, and all tasted a bit samey. We popped in again for a pizzette - really disappointing and flavorless - and some decent spinach and cheese arancini. I guess it's hit or miss. It's worth a try to experience the famous foods of Sicily, but I'm not a total convert yet.

Hungry and tired, I settled for this place as the other places were still closed. I asked the server for their white selection... he promptly brought me over a glass of mysterious white without description nor name. House white is probably pinot gris. Antipasti: I started with a tris fume: smoked salmon, tuna and swordfish. Reality comes to the table and it is a duo fume. No sign of swordfish. Famished from my day, I ate the rather unoriginal and boring antipasto with the mediocre bread served on the side. Main: bucatini con sarde. My spaghetti had no hole thru it. So what I received was plain ol' spags with a bland sardine sauce to match. A nostalgic throwback to the college days when I made my own pasta in my dorm room. 1 star for attentive service , albeit the lack of menu knowledge. 1 star for speed and timely execution. 0 stars for the food.

You have to walk down a couple of rape alleys, all the while wondering what street urchin is going to lunge out at you from the darkness. That didn't happen. Mostly, it just smells like stale piss. But you solider on, walking down one final narrow passageway before it opens up to reveal a courtyard where this bar and a couple other are situated. You have to pay the cashier for a drink, then hand the bartender your receipt, which he tears and then pours your beverage. Weird. It sure made for some ugly ass lines here, I'll say that much. But I was able to secure a Jim Beam on the rocks with little fuss, so no complaints here. Almost as soon as I had ordered the place began filling up. It was only around 8pm; still early by Sicily standards. Seems they get a high concentration of younger folks and motor scooter enthusiasts here. It looked like some kind of lame biker bar, what with a row of mopeds lined up down the block. By 11pm it was absolutely packed, so unless you want to be drinking with a massive crowd, get here earlier in the night. Bonus: they had a shockingly clean bathroom. Not a bonus: the toilet had no seat and there was no toilet paper. Glad I didn't find that out the hard way.

Had a solid gelato with brioche (meaning you get ice cream in a brioche sandwich, as one only can…read morein Sicily!). Warning, it is huge, and you might as well consider it a meal. You also have to relinquish any hope of not making a mess, but all part of the experience. Order and pay at the cashier first, then tell the guy/gal behind the ice cream what you paid for. Delicious, but when in Sicily I will go to Brioscia instead, because it's over the top amazing, though this is solid.
