    Amazing service from start to finish, very accommodating of us only speaking English. Helped us park, excellent sommelier explained some of the local wine. Great food as you would expect. You need to drive to this property I don’t think you can walk easily as the road is dangerous.

    It's been a significant lunch for me. I got engaged, and their surprised my fiance enough for her to say: "I can't imagine more romantic scenery" she is Sicilian, so it's a home for her and not a first Michelin-star restaurant either. It is a unique place! The food is excellent, the service is amicable, and they are very professional. I can only recommend this place to everyone who would like a supreme food experience of Sicily.

    Friendly staff, amazing food and location. Sommelier made wine pairing easy. A bit pricey but worth it. Highly recommend.

    The waiting staff were young but mature and well-polished. The 6-course tasting menu was wonderfully prepared and presented. And of course, it was very delicious. I think it's one of the best restaurants in the whole of Sicily.

    We dined here last night for our anniversary. The waiting staff were friendly and efficient, the food was excellent (I particularly loved the black spaghetti with prawns and sea urchin) the atmosphere lovely. Would definitely recommend.

    It’s a lovely restaurant and the staff were very attentive . We had the fish and meat tasting menu. There was an error with one of our dishes in they it was almost the same as a previous one and they rectified it straight away and gave us an extra glass of wine. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. For a tasting menu there wasn’t much variety and a number of courses were very similar. We paid €50 extra per person to have meat dishes as well as fish and the only meat elements were a tortellini in a veal broth, which was delicious and a single lamb cutlet course at the end. The desserts were very good. Have had a number of Michelin tasting menus in the past and this just lacked any wow factor.

    Would recommend to any seafood lovers visiting the area. Playfull, but clean, flavours with a huge attention to detail. Attentative staff with no fuzz. Will visit again, when possible

    Really exceeded expectations. This is local fresh ingredients transformed into well balanced flavorful courses. Nothing over the top but almost every course delivered. Fantastic Al fresco dining with tables for about 50 or so. Service attentive and enthusiastic. Highly recommend.

    We tried their 6-course tasting menu “Sea and Air”. Half of the raw fish from the first course were quite fishy, requiring all the mango sauce to mask the fishiness. Some other fish dishes were chewy, which was a pity considering ingredients were supposedly fresh. The squid pasta was okay but could be more flavourful. The only enjoyable part of the meal was the bottle of 2016 Lunare white wine recommended by the Sommelier. Service was great but unfortunately could not make up to the michelin star with their subpar food quality.

    Really nice food and ambience. Ask for the table closest to the sea, as the road noise may be impacting tables further away. Impeccable service. Book early to avoid disappointment.

    The food was good, but overall not an experience worthy of a michelin star. Several odd and slightly annoying points: - on our table we had a side table that was being used to prepare food and open bottles of wines for other tables. Really distracting and i have never ever seen that anywhere else. Just for this reason alone they shouldnt be awarded a star - we had the 9 course meal with 5 glasses of wine combination, and the second glass of wine came so early that we finished it before the 2nd course came, so we had 3 glasses left for 8 courses. Again, not michelin worthy - the glasses of wine (12 euros each), were filled poorly - there was quite some noise from trains and the road on both sides of the restaurant - for the toilet you have to go outside and down some stairs, which is a bit odd, but you could say it is authentic, so OK for me The food itself was good: creative, tasty and appealing. All in all, for 180 euros each there are much better restaurants
