Another very well established Italian restaurant that i've used many years ago, I know the owner personally and he's still the same to this day, On deciding to visit Lancaster on Saturday morning for a spot of light shopping I asked my wife, Daughter and youngest son if they'd like to go to Etna for some lunch.
Yes was the answer and arrived there on the stroke of 12, it was empty and we occupied a window table in order to entice others inside and it seemed to work as 2 other couples took their place for some Sicilian fayre.
Like most places you go to in the cold light of day it's never quite the same and Etna is no exception as we noticed the table cloth was still donning some pasata from the previous nights explioits but that's life and the owner was off on his jollies for a month of heaven in sicily whilst his establishment got the makeover treatment paintwise.
Onto the food, Plain garlic bread was acceptable but i'd be lying if I said I hadn't had better as it was on the dry side and not enough garlic on view, The pizza order was much more agreeable and my wifes Etna was a revelation in both appearance and taste, My children had the Pescatora and this too was truly excellent.
I myself rolled back the years and went for the classic Calzoni folded pizza but in reality I should have followed my childrens lead and gone for my usual seafood but it's a learning curve!
Overall we left satisfied and will be returning one evening in a months time in order to enjoy the pizza again when the place is showing it's true colours (full) with the sound of customers having a good evening out.
A score of 4 that could have been 5 but for the table cloth and Garlic bread, could it be 5 next time???? we shall see soon. read more
