Imagine the skill it takes for a smallish restaurant to suddenly be faced with 90 hungry, tired customers speaking a multitude of languages... and yet they acquitted themselves with distinction.

My wife and I shared a house salad (the artichoke hearts were a nice touch) and a Cuatro Gusti pizza - nicely topped with a light, thin crust - oozing with yummy goodness! The beer was cold, the tea was hot, the prices were very reasonable and we all got out of there on time. Bravo!

The floor is wide wooden planks, and while the chairs and tables are not fancy, and the napkins are paper, our table had a proper linen tablecloth. Other tables included couples having meals and wine, six Italian women having only coffee, and another family of six eating. There is also a counter in the restaurant selling snacks, drinks, and popsicles, that was quiet but must do a brisk trade when the beach is busy. The service was efficient, and English-speaking, yet rewarded our attempts to speak Italian with smiles and encouragement. Our food arrived quickly, The food ----------- The whole fish of the day was very fresh and perfectly grilled (Sicilian-style, with a little char at tail and fins), served with wedges of fresh lime. The seafood salad was also quite good--pleasing but not surprising for a Sicilian seaside eatery. Spaghetti carbonara and pomodoro were both good (plenty of bacon in the carbonara), and the portions were generous but not excessive. The Sicilian salad was a tasty umami bomb of capers, sardines, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes over potatoes. Serving suggestion: cut the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller bits to better mix their salty sweetness into the mix. The pistachio ice cream was excellent, with ground pistachio sprinkled over the plate, and the other desserts we tried were also good. Beverages ----------- Espresso and cappuccino were below average for Sicily, and might disappoint coffee nerds, but got the job done. We did not opt for wine, but there were several decent-looking bottles for well under 20 euro, and I identified wine by the glass for 3. All-in-all ----------- I would eat here again in a heartbeat if I were walking to the Turkish steps.

We started off with a cocktail at the bar. Our bartender was charming. We were given some tasty snacks to accompany our drinks. The outdoor tables at the restaurant have the same breathtaking view. The waitstaff were lovely and attentive. The home made bread, tomato butter and house olive oil were excellent. The chef sent out some excellent small bites to start. The wine list was good, with a lot of fairly priced selections. My wife and her friend started off with an excellent salad. My buddy and I enjoyed ring pasta served over meat sauce. We also really liked our fried fish entrees. Our waitress recommended the lobster and pasta special to my wife and her friend. They decided to split an order. I had read that lobster and some of the fish were priced by weight, but didn't give it another thought. The waitress brought out a nice lobster and showed it to us. Imagine our surprise when we were charged 180 euros for this single dish. I am from Manhattan and have eaten at expensive restaurants all over the world. This is the most expensive entree that I have ever paid for, even when split between two people. I was shocked and a bit embarrassed. This put a damper on our evening. I would happily enjoy another meal at this special location, but buyer beware when it comes to entrees priced by weight!

Live soft piano music drifted across the terrace where we were seated. The food was very delicious and crafted from locally sourced ingredients, including their own olive oil served with their freshly baked breads and breadsticks. As others have noted the view from La Terrazza degli Dei is spectacular (the Temples are illuminated at night) which only added to the experience of the evenings. Breakfast is another treat as it is served on the lower terrace of the restaurant with an expansive choice of items and with a tower of assorted pastries delivered to each table (and including a morning view of the Temples).

In fact, this restaurant was one of our favorites while touring Sicily! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, but it wasn't pretentious and we didn't feel like we needed to dress up. All of the dishes are also gorgeous and huge and super delicious. We actually could not finish everything we finished. The wine list is extensive, too and the prices were excellent for the quality of the food. We would definitely go back!

It has a great view of the Valley of the temples and although pricey the portions are rather large, but I think they lose some points when it comes to the actual food. It's not so much that the quality wasn't up to par, it's just the flavor combination of the dishes fell short. We started off with the marinated beef which was pretty good, probably the better of the three we got. The two pastas we had, one with colatura di amici and the other with octopus ragout, both were just meh. The pasta with colatura had a creamy sauce, I expected it to be more like aglio e olio, and the fish eggs added crunch but I think dried up the sauce too much. The pasta with the octopus ragout was just bland.

We had a four course meal and the best ever red wine that I've had so far in our two week stay in Sicily. However, please note you wine snobs, I am not a wine connoisseur. All I care about is this red wine did not bother my temperamental stomach. It went down so smoothly that my friend Laura and I finished two bottles in a space of two hours. I think the sulfites were low and the wine was not pasteurized so overall, it was tummy friendly. The four course meal that we had was also to die for!!! I accidentally poured some of the wine into my olive tapenade dip, and dare I say that it actually elevated it. I dipped more than my share of crusty bread. Additionally, for this chicken averse Yelper, their roast chicken was the best that I've had in decades. It was moist , flavorful and did not have that horrible chicken y scent that accompanies GMO, overly growth hormone injected chicken served all over the world. It tasted like real to goodness chicken. The almond butter dessert was also very very delicious. It was so delicious that my friend Laura was literally licking her plate.
