We even got there early and drove and parked at the Temples (the gates are closed) to take photos of them lit up, as this restaurant is a 1 minute drive away. Secondly, the food is fabulous! In fact, this restaurant was one of our favorites while touring Sicily! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, but it wasn't pretentious and we didn't feel like we needed to dress up. All of the dishes are also gorgeous and huge and super delicious. We actually could not finish everything we finished. The wine list is extensive, too and the prices were excellent for the quality of the food. We would definitely go back!

It has a great view of the Valley of the temples and although pricey the portions are rather large, but I think they lose some points when it comes to the actual food. It's not so much that the quality wasn't up to par, it's just the flavor combination of the dishes fell short. We started off with the marinated beef which was pretty good, probably the better of the three we got. The two pastas we had, one with colatura di amici and the other with octopus ragout, both were just meh. The pasta with colatura had a creamy sauce, I expected it to be more like aglio e olio, and the fish eggs added crunch but I think dried up the sauce too much. The pasta with the octopus ragout was just bland.

We started off with a cocktail at the bar. Our bartender was charming. We were given some tasty snacks to accompany our drinks. The outdoor tables at the restaurant have the same breathtaking view. The waitstaff were lovely and attentive. The home made bread, tomato butter and house olive oil were excellent. The chef sent out some excellent small bites to start. The wine list was good, with a lot of fairly priced selections. My wife and her friend started off with an excellent salad. My buddy and I enjoyed ring pasta served over meat sauce. We also really liked our fried fish entrees. Our waitress recommended the lobster and pasta special to my wife and her friend. They decided to split an order. I had read that lobster and some of the fish were priced by weight, but didn't give it another thought. The waitress brought out a nice lobster and showed it to us. Imagine our surprise when we were charged 180 euros for this single dish. I am from Manhattan and have eaten at expensive restaurants all over the world. This is the most expensive entree that I have ever paid for, even when split between two people. I was shocked and a bit embarrassed. This put a damper on our evening. I would happily enjoy another meal at this special location, but buyer beware when it comes to entrees priced by weight!

Live soft piano music drifted across the terrace where we were seated. The food was very delicious and crafted from locally sourced ingredients, including their own olive oil served with their freshly baked breads and breadsticks. As others have noted the view from La Terrazza degli Dei is spectacular (the Temples are illuminated at night) which only added to the experience of the evenings. Breakfast is another treat as it is served on the lower terrace of the restaurant with an expansive choice of items and with a tower of assorted pastries delivered to each table (and including a morning view of the Temples).

My ravioli were a bit bland... was not tasting any of the sage or brown butter coming through. The service and ambiance were lovely, and we were not disappointed that we made a visit.

It had been recommended by a local with whom I struck up a conversation in French since he had lived in Montreal for 20 years. The service was very good and professional. I was not hindered by my lack of Italian. The pastas were very good as well as the list of local wines. The environment is very nice as it occupies the space formally for underground storage of either wine barrels or general merchandise. There are lots of stone vaulted arches and excellent lighting. My only complaint would be that on one night there was a group of 20-30 local school kids eating at one end of the restaurant. Boy were they loud. Very loud.

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.
