Coming from Copenhagen, I would say this absolutely is a great Sicilian answer to our local NOMA, Kadeau and Geranium. The interior was a bit too dark and “masculine” to my taste, but it provides a fine contrast to the organic forms of the food served.

Our waiter was very nice and friendly, and he truly tried his best to save the night for us with a free glass of wine, a discount, and an apology. However, it seemed like the chef was simply not checked in that night. Took more than 3 hrs to make it through the uninspiring “secret menu”. The risotto was boring and uninspiring, the pasta was average, the onion soup was frankly disgusting, and then it was just bread and bread and bread and more bread. They had a big party of 30–40 people, plus 3 other tables, but only 3 or 4 waiters, so everything felt off from the beginning. Unfortunately, it was a bad night for us and not what you would expect from a place mentioned in the Michelin Guide. Wish we could get our time back and spend the night at a good Italian restaurant.

This is our second visit to a place from the guidebook, and... one of the best. Lots of unusual flavors, good acidity, and beautiful presentation. It was a wonderful and fun experience. We're especially pleased that there's a vegetarian menu, which is on par with the fish menu. The service is very friendly and professional. Is there anything that could be improved? Yes. With nine courses, the experience lasts over three hours, and after two hours, the chairs are starting to look more like they're comfortable. But the food was so delicious that it was worth the inconvenience. Highly recommended!
