Such an amazing place! Best food of our whole trip to Sicily. Interesting unpretentious menu which was great value. The food was all absolutely delicious. Stumbled across by total accident, and we were so delighted that we stopped. A truly exceptional place. Grazie mille!

Simple but tasty starters and seafood. The owner (maybe owner I don’t know) was really lovely. Very reasonable price. Gave us local biscuits, liquor and nuts to try, just to let us experience the local food. Speaking italian helps

This place is perfect. We were staying in a small airbnb down the road and wondered if this restaurant would be good, turns out it is excellent. Exactly what we wanted, we came back twice as we loved it so much. The waiters gave us great recommendations, one of which being a delicious local white wine from Noto. It’s not full of tourists and was such a lucky find. We’d love to come back.

Great place to come for really good food at a reasonable price. It is a family business and the owner truly cares about the food and his customers. A lot of locals eat here but they are very welcoming to tourists, as well. The location, across from the sea, is lovely. Try the polpettine, the scacce, the fresh ricotta, and the seafood.
