Prices from the menu…read moreboth online and reviews seemed cheaper - the linguine con vongole was not on the physical menu but they said they could make spaghetti con vongole for me. This should have been the same price - but they charged me 4-5 Euro more. This cost more than all the other seafood pastas that were on the menu!! The taste was also hardly there; I could make this way better at home. I also found a small hair AFTER I had finished the majority of my dish. The wine I got was the last bit of the bottle, so I got skimped on the pour, which I was upset about. I kept looking around at others ordering wine and they all got 3/4 of an inch more in the wine glass than I did. I was expecting him to come back with a new bottle to finish the acceptable pour - but nope. With the cooperto to charge and charge for tap water (which I know is everywhere in Italy) this bill cost me a lot more than I was expecting for the service and quality of the food. I had more food at lunch with a nicer ambiance which cost me less than this spot! Don't think I would recommend this spot to friends visiting unfortunately.

We had a four course meal and the best ever red wine that I've had so far in our two week stay in Sicily. However, please note you wine snobs, I am not a wine connoisseur. All I care about is this red wine did not bother my temperamental stomach. It went down so smoothly that my friend Laura and I finished two bottles in a space of two hours. I think the sulfites were low and the wine was not pasteurized so overall, it was tummy friendly. The four course meal that we had was also to die for!!! I accidentally poured some of the wine into my olive tapenade dip, and dare I say that it actually elevated it. I dipped more than my share of crusty bread. Additionally, for this chicken averse Yelper, their roast chicken was the best that I've had in decades. It was moist , flavorful and did not have that horrible chicken y scent that accompanies GMO, overly growth hormone injected chicken served all over the world. It tasted like real to goodness chicken. The almond butter dessert was also very very delicious. It was so delicious that my friend Laura was literally licking her plate.
