“ On our last night in Acireale we dined at this family restaurant. Food was very delicious from starters to desserts. Friendly and attentive staff members. All food was very fresh and we didn't have to wait long after placing orders. Big portions too! If you are staying in Acireale or passing by, try it out! ”
“ Lovely place - a real hidden gem. The plate of mussels we had were divine (the best we’ve had in Sicily so far), and the homemade special pasta was gorgeous. A real family run joint, steeped in character and life. Order the creamy pasta, get a cold beer to go with it and enjoy the ambience. ”
“ It's not a pretentious place, but the food was good, and the staff was very nice, though some members didn't speak English. ”
“ We ordered veal, pizza and swordfish. But the veal had a gravy/sauce that was not very tasty and the meat itself was tough and full of tendons. One of us got nauseous. However upon notifying the staff they tried their very best to solve it. We didn't have to pay for the veal. Pizza and swordfish were okay, not great. ”
“ We found this restaurant to be open during a public holiday all day when other restaurants were closed for siesta or not open until evening. The location is not obvious with the enterance on a narrow street (you have to find a parking spot somewhere nearby). The food was outstanding and portion sizes were also bigger than in other restaurants. We ate pasta, seafood, meat, coffee and the house desserts. Everything was delicious and it was a significantly better experience than in other restaurants more popular among tourists. ”
“ Nice place for a meal. We ate outside, in the street, and feels very cosy. The food was good although not exceptional. ”
