The staff were excellent especially the girl behind the counter who helped with my question about buses. Lovely ice cream here too. The locals are all friendly despite not speaking English.

Ice cream were OK (a bit watery) but the worst part was stale and old canollo which is a damn shame. Coffee was OK but had a burned taste. I go to all the local bars around Sicily in bigger and small cities but this one was the worst so far. The only good thing about it is that it's close to the sea and has a nice view.

On holiday we popped in here most days. Great cool snacks and wine. Friendly staff and always busy. Great spot to chill and watch the world go by. read more On holiday we popped in here most days.

The restaurant is right by the sea, it is not not your posh place by far. But the service was great and friendly. And so inexpensive.
