So much so, we made a special trip from Enna to eat there a second time. Don't let the fact that they do not speak English deter you. Understand the basics of an Italian menu (primi, secondi, dolce, etc), be patient, and if all else fails, nod looking pleased. What a treat! The pasta each time was just right. Al dente, perfect sauce, and great bread to wipe the plate clean. There were grilled vegetables the second visit that were perfect. It's worth the trip from Enna, 22km NE through spectacular scenery with multiple views of Etna.

The pappardelle with mushrooms and sausage was excellent. My dad tried a bit of it and promptly ordered his own. The sauce was just right, flavorful without being too heavy. The sausage and mushrooms each impart their own flavors to the dish, making it a very pleasing mix of different experiences.

But if you need lunch before or after the mosaics, avoid the tourist traps in Casale and come here instead. I was greeted in a most welcoming manner, and ushered to a comfortable interior table. Being a Brit, I wanted to sit outside (I would have been the only one), but this was no problem and Antonio swiftly laid up a table for me. There is a pleasant view of the Garibaldi Theatre from the front terrace of the restaurant. I was pining for a good tomato salad, and boy did they deliver! So good that I snapped it and the result is in the pics attached. But this was not before I had taken their mixed antipasti - always a good way to judge the mettle of an Italian restaurant; my policy is to order the antipasti misti only to start, and if they are good, I will place an order for mains; if bad, I cash up and go. In this case, I was brought a sumptuous plate of local produce - green and black marinated olives, salami and salsicce, artichoke hearts marinated in lemon and oil, raw mushrooms, roast peppers and courgettes, melanzane grigliate con mozzarella. By the time I'd finished, I could barely manage a small portion of pappardelle with rabbit sauce. Indoors, chef was keen to know how was the food, and Antonio wanted me to see the reproduction mosaics that adorned the ceiling of the restaurant. The toilets were faultless. And the bill? £15 including a half carafe of red and a small bottle of water. Magnifico!
