10/10The entire meal was outstanding. The owners are a couple and the wife runs the dining room while the husband is the chef. She was so gracious and fun to talk to,plus our dinner was delicious!

10/10Short walk from Fontana di Diana. Nice ambiance with excellent and welcoming service. Delicious dishes with homemade pastas, bread, and fresh fish. Lasagna with meat sauce and tortell with artichoke cream sauce were outstanding. Best options also on daily specials like swordfish Siciliano. Highly recommend; best to reserve in advance.

10/10A charming restaurant with excellent food. We both had trouble choosing among the many options. I only wish we would have something similar in our hometown.

9.5/10We were very taken with this small restaurant and ended up coming back two nights later. All the dishes we had were very tasty, and well-prepared. The server was the wife of the chef and was wonderful with her suggestions and attention to us all evening, even though she had several other large tables. We sat outside both evenings, but the interior is charming and inviting. We would recommend it to anyone who loves seafood done with skill and imagination.

10/10Delicious food in a beautiful setting off the beaten path. Menu includes many unique dishes not typically found at other Sicilian restaurants, featuring plenty of local fruit and nuts. We particularly enjoyed the salad with sliced peaches, almonds, avocado and fresh caprino cheese, which was remarkable as we don't usually enjoy goat cheese. Highly recommend!

10/10We loved our experience. Wonderful food , service and outdoor table on a quiet side street. Our waitress, the owner, was so charming and warm that it was an added delight. We tried the ravioli special which was superb, but all the food was delicious. Thank you so much!!!

10/10Wonderful food. The crostini appetizer with champagne mushrooms and avocado is amazing. If you want to feel a little hug from Sicily, this is it.
