Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Simply, local food at its best, and certainly the best service we have received and Sicilian food we have eaten. This Trattoria is a hidden gem and a must to visit. Make sure you have a reservation as it was full on a Tuesday lunchtime. The attention provided by the owner and his team to all customers was outstanding. Grazie Mille Kim
An interesting experience. The place is hidden between residential buildings, with a quiet exterior. However, super lively and busy when you enter. Top place for locals. People who run it don't understand English and there was a minor confusion about menu choices, but the food was nice. Nothing out of this world, nothing wow, but good and tasty food.
THE PLACE IS MOSTLY PATRONIZED BY LOCALS. I WAS TIPPED TO IT BY A LOCAL, WAS THE ONLY TOURIST, AND WAS DELIGHTED. IT'S FAMILY OPERATED, AND THESE DAYS IS ONLY OPEN FROM 1PM TO 3PM. AS A STARTER, I ORDERED MELANZANA (EGGPLANT) AL FORNO RIPEANA, WHICH WAS MAGNIFICENT. WHAT FOLLOWED WAS EQUALLY MAGNIFICENT, INVOLTINO DI CARNE, PROSCIUTTO ROLLS FILLED WITH CHEESE AND SPINACH, COVERED BY A NICELY FITTING SAUCE. IF I LIVED IN ENNA, I WOULD EAT THERE OFTEN.
If you’re looking for an authentic Sicilian dining experience this is the place for you! Incredible food and welcoming staff with an atmosphere that will make you feel completely at home.
Don’t be fooled by the extensive menu, the host will guide you in the right direction, even if there’s not a lot of English spoken here. It is a terrific, family-run restaurant that attracts a lot of locals, so it is well worth making a reservation, especially as there aren’t a ton of great food options in Enna. Make sure to try the caponata (best we had in Sicily) and the cannoli, which was to die for.
