    Excellent, high quality meals at very reasonable prices. This is why there's a wait to get a table…read moreif you're arriving after 7pm. They hand out tickets and you wait your turn. I didn't think the wait was long AND it was well worth it. The food is excellent!

    Went here on our arrival in the lovely sea-side town of San Vito for a quick lunch on the…read morerecommendation of a foodie local. Two hours later I was contemplating how long the lovely waiting staff would hang about while I tried to stuff in one more mouthful of the fantastic sarde pasta. Be warned this is a very different restaurant in the evening when there are no reservations, it's packed to the raftters and the punters are knee deep at the door clutching tickets marking out where they are in the queue. However, make friends with the owner and he will point you in the direction of his hotel up the road where you can take an aperitifo and they will phone you when they have a table available!! For my own personal taste this is a lunch time venue and I would recommend skipping breakfast to provide a little room!! I'm sure the meat plates are great but for me in this part of the world it's all about the fish. I've lost track of what B and I ate during the couple of long lunches we managed to squeeze in but I remember a fantastic mussel and clam antipasto and some great smoked tuna. The local busiate pasta is freshly made and just divine with prawns that melt in the mouth or my particular favourite: sardine, raisins, pine nuts and fennel. Try to leave some room for the second plate and again stick with the fish. I'd ask the waiters for their recommendation on what's fresh in and trust their judgement. Every dish I had in this restaurant was a joy to eat - the sent and flavour of Sicily on a plate. Wine list is extensive and well priced. Again if you need a little help the waiters are very clues up and will like your interest and make sure you drink well for your budget. The punters are a mixed bunch of locals, families and touristy couples but there seemed to be a significant proportion of hard core "foodies" when we visited, which can be both a good and a bad thing depending on their temperament!! My favourite place for lunch in San Vito and believe me they had some great competition.
