I know everyone goes to carloforte for the tuna fish but I know good tuna when I eat it and this restaurant gives you the best part of the tuna and gobs of it in the appetizer. Ca’taborka wins hands down to the fish I ate at al tonno di corsa in carloforte. I also like da Niccolò at carloforte but this gem in calasetta has a much better price point for the same if not better fish than the Michelin rated one. Their appetizers that are a must haves are the gianchetti which are little fried up fish. Octopus salad insalata di polipo) tris crudite is you like raw fish and shrimp, caponata di tonno which is boiled tuna with tomatoes, olive oil, crackers which is amazing! Their zuppa di cozze or mussels in wine soup is the best. Freshness and cooked to perfection is number one on my list and this place exceeds it. First dishes that I love are the pilau small round pasta with seafood mixed sauce), lobster ravioli, spaghetti with vongole. Spaghetti with red shrimp and red sauce which is to die for you have to suck on the heads of the shrimp if you don’t you are not doing this fish any justice. I never touched it before and my husband then boyfriend) told me on our first time there to suck on the inside of the head of the shrimp I thought that was gross! Shrimp brains! But can I just tell you it is seriously the best part and my kids now fight me for them when I get the pasta dish. Seconds dishes I always get the fried Mixed fish calamari shrimp and small local fish) the shrimp head in this dish is ok. But I eat the whole thing anyway. The calamari is really really good. The fish all of it) is so fresh it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the fish just trust me when I say it is really expertly cooked with an amazing taste to match. I usually order precisely my meal but for the fish I let them make the choice on how to prepare my dish. So worth it! Finally desserts that I love is the sebadas which is fried ravioli with a lot of honey on top. They also make mirto home made and ice cream yum but ice cream is always better at penguino like that pace Go once if you can do it but it’s best if u go twice to try the dishes u missed. Afterwards I suggest penguino for a amazing gelato! Hope this review helpful

Awful service! We were three diners. One of our meals arrived, other dishes followed half an hour later. When we complained, staff were rude and argumentative.... read more Awful service!
