The food you are presented to comes close. Excellent. Lamb with pistachio; the best I've been served. And that was even before sunset.

I recommend ordering whatever the owner tells you is fresh that day. It'll likely include some sort of fish (ours was tuna) --- and let me tell you- it was the best tuna steak i've ever had.

We were jet lagged and a bit dazed so we took their word for it that it was good and took a cab down to Mondello. The restaurant is known for its seafood and we saw tables full of hungry families ordering platters of different types of fish and seafood. We also noticed takes of sea urchin which we ordered as well as pasta with sea urchin, sardine meatballs (polpette di sarde), and a pizza. The food was fine though not the mind blowing pasta experience we were anticipating from our first meal in Italy.

We were there to visit the cathedral but arrived midday when most restaurants are closed. I happened to peek into Antic Friggitoria while we were passing by and noticed a handful of local men munching away on sandwiches. I wanted to try one and went inside but they were sold out. Instead, they brought out Arancini (risotto balls with stuffing, rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried), piping hot and the size of a large fist. They were crisp on the outside and molten hot inside with a tasty stuffing of ground meat and veggies. It was a very filling snack and we shared 3 of them amongst four of us. A great little local hole in the wall for food to go. Recommended for sandwiches and arancini.
