Is that a problem. It would be in the US, but in Italy, nessun problema! We walked through the narrow and still very crowded streets of the center around the Dome. The trattoria di Antonio was packed (with mostly Italian guests), but Antonio just created an extra table to seat us. What else would you expect from Italy than having delicious food? And so it was: Antipasto siciliano, octopus salad, rigatoni and risotto pescatorio were all perfect - paired with the warm outdoor seating and the so charming attitude of the Italian staff. Bookmarked for return!

The ambiance is very nice not like say he place we went last night but still nice. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. We started off with the Sicilian fried bread. That was a revelation with 6 pieces of toast, one had grilled eggplant, the other roasted peepers with honey the last onions. One word wow! Get this! For 5e it's an amazing way to start your meal. We then got a grilled pork sampler and pasta with tomato sauce. The porks sampler was like an Italian version of an agentinian parilllafoab

We started with an appetizer of octopus, green olive sauce, and potatoes, and the octopus was done perfectly! Next up was lemon ricotta gnocchi with shrimp and a zucchini cream sauce. These gnocchi were so light and fluffy, and the sauce was jam-packed with flavor! Our next course was pan fried mackerel with an eggplant caponata. This dish was the right combination of sweet and salty! My mom and I wanted to just eat the caponata by the spoonful! Since everything else was so delicious, we had to order dessert. Our server recommended the watermelon jelly, because it was a traditional Sicilian dish. The watermelon jelly was served with a crumble topping, cinnamon whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.
