For starters, we ordered zucchini croquettes with mint yogurt and squid potato salad. These were absolutely delicious and I could have ordered a second round of both items. For our main course, we ordered spaghetti with shrimp tartare. The dish was okay and the tasty shrimp tartare did the heavy lifting. I couldn't figure out for the life of me what the pasta was supposed to taste like. Honestly it tasted like miscellaneous spice cabinet remnants. I wouldn't order this mystery dish again. For dessert, we ordered tiramisu. Small, but tasty. Mostly cream and only one layer of cream, so it left me wanting more. Still, it was a great way to end our meal. Service is in line with many Sicilian restaurants. After your initial order, it is difficult to flag down a waiter. This takes some getting used to if you want to order additional food and drinks, or ask for the check. Patience or proactively walk to the register. Happy to return one day and have more items from their menu and would recommend to others to check it out.
