My family and I (party of 7) walked in, asked to be seated and with a look of confusion two women…read more(one of them the owner's wife) waiting tables sat us down and paid no attention to us for a good 15 minutes. We were really starting to get annoyed and was about to leave when the older woman (owner's wife) saw us get up and rushed over to send the younger woman to our table to take our order. We ordered several bottles of water, beer, and wine and wouldn't receive those until after our food started to come out so yea big breech of server steps to great customer service, especially when it's a hot Sicilian summer day and there is no air conditioning. #WaterPlease To start, we ordered a meat and cheese plate which was one of the most measely platters we've seen in Italy. Fried fish consisting of Sicilian caught fish- squid, shrimp, sardines. Dish was oily, batter falling off fish that was not even peeled or cleaned- shrimp had shells- really unpleasant dish to eat. For entrees, we ordered the Pasta Carbonara- egg was thick and curdled not creamy sauce as it's supposed to be), spaghetti with mixed seafood- decent with assorted seafood such as shrimp, clams, mussels but ratio a bit off with a huge portion of pasta (enough to feed 2-4 people depending on how hungry or what else you order) and like 4 shrimp. Spaghetti with clam was probably the best dish we ordered and even that was a tad on the oily side. It was too hot to stay for dessert so we asked for the check and that's when the owner's wife's charm came on and she transformed into a friendly and talkative woman. Either she's bipolar or she's looking for a heavy tip from the American tourist. Restaurant is run by husband and wife who's life is to run the restaurant 24/7. Husband fishes and whatever he catches is showcased on the menu so fish is guaranteed freshly caught although that's to assume you like warm water fish. Not only does he fish but he cooks too- him and 1-2 kitchen staff. They also have a farm where they make oil and use fresh veggies and ingredients. Wife needs either some more FOH training or more assistance because she cannot handle all those tables by herself and the lack of service and attention severely hurts their establishment by taking away from the experience I'm sure they want for their customers. Service is abysmal, food is decent at best and our experience left much, much, much more to be desired. I would not recommend or come back again.

The shrimps in particular were sweet and flavourful. It also comes with raw tuna, bluefish and another fish that I cannot remember plus two oysters. It's more than enough to share between two people. My partner had the gnocchi with clams and zucchini which was full of flavour yet light, despite the potential heaviness of the gnocchi. I had the busiate with red shrimp, sea urchin and bottarga which was simply amazing. It was loaded with flavour and I loved the pasta shape. We shared a bottle of local white wine. The meal came to €86. A little in the pricey side but well worth it!

Only gripe is they seem to charge a premium for the location. I guess this must be a resort town or something, but it was nearly double the price for the same dishes you could get in Palermo.

After a transatlantic flight, a layover and another flight we finally arrived in Sicily exhausted…read more Antiche Scale was just around the corner from our Airbnb so we figured it would be easy. Luckily it was also delicious! They had all the Sicilian classics like pasta con le sarde and caponata. These were excellent but the real star of the show was the huge whole fish that tasted like it had been caught that morning. They grilled it simply with tomatoes and potatoes but the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful that it tasted like heaven. This restaurant also introduced us to the excellent local white wine called Grillo. we ended up drinking it everywhere throughout the rest of our trip. Antiche Scale is located on the Main Street of a quiet little coastal town in Sicily called Castellammare del Golfo. Like many restaurants in Italy they don't open for dinner until quite late, in this case 7:30 pm. They have a decent sized seating area outside and a cute indoor dining room. Prices are reasonable and portions are huge so if you are staying in the area I highly recommend it.
