Wonderful outdoor lunch served by very attentive servers, Giuseppe & Antonio. We had a simple charcuterie plate/vegetables with crisp, cold and dry Sicilian wine. The area we were seated in was free of smokers…a delight for us.

Classic sicilian trattoria. Fantastic owner and server, very friendly and helpful. Traditional and comfortable setting popular with locals and tourists. Perfectly al dente pasta. Good for vegetarians. Big portions, fair prices. You can't go wrong. The all'arrabiata was very spicy in a good way.

We ate twice in this restaurant, once early afternoon after visiting a nearby church and one in the evening on another day. We had Bruscetta, pasta bolognese and sword fish and they were very good. The second time I had Penne caprese and I don't know how the cook did it, but what he cooked from just tomato, mozzarella and olive oil was magic! Unfortunately I took no pictures of penne caprese. Good price/value ratio, highly recommend!

Been there twice in the past 2 years. I will definitely keep coming back. I love the Menu di pesce - pesce spada, cozze, gamberi, gamberetti, risotto ai frutti di mare, salad with a delicious dressing. Seafood is always fresh, everything is magically delicious. There is also exquisite white wine and liquors.We were also able to take away some of the food because we got super full! Polite and efficient staff.
