Outstanding Food, hospitality and cracking location. Could not ask for more. We ate there 3 days in a row It's that good
The guy that collects the money for the parking lot obviously gets paid to tell and accompany people downstairs to the restaurant. After telling him a few times „no“ he still proceeded to be very pushy and insisted he would go with us. So he did and touched us on our shoulders we felt very uncomfortable. After that we were obviously not in a good mood and not saying „thank you“ like he maybe wanted which led to him complaining about us to a guy working at the restaurant. He talked about us right in front of us and pointed at us which made us feel even worse. The atmosphere was very loud because there was a dj (even tho it was afternoon with really bad music. The blonde waitress was the opposite of the whole place and was very calm and kind which was nice. Food experience was pretty good, I had Pasta with pistachio and gamabretti I just feel like it was a bit pricey (i think 20€ as I paid 10 for the same meal somewhere else.
Waited over 1 hr for a cold antipasto starter kids waited over 1.15min for there food asked 4 times for the drinks, very arrogant family ran business, food ok can get the same or even better close by second time here second time disappointed, so rude, was asked by our wedding planner to view for our potential wedding venue NO THANKS, incompetent staff and arrogant owner!, there are another 3 bars close by, spend your money else where. Avoid.
We chanced upon this place because I made a wrong turn after leaving the fish harbor at Sciacca, literally. There was a guy outside. I asked if he knew the place and he said it was OK. That turned out to be a typical Sicilian understatement……. Admittedly, if you mind sitting on plastic chairs and using paper napkins, this is not the place for you. BUT number one you sit practically on the beach ! The sea is less than 50 meters away. How they got a permit for that if they ever did beats me, but they have been there since 1993, which is a good sign. Number two, great seafood ! We tried the mixed fried, sharing one, which was light and tasty, followed by clearly homemade fettuccine with sea urchins and then a slice of sword fish with tomatoes and olives. A pistachio parfait concluded the lunch. This being February, the patrons were all local, which is a good sign, but I speak Italian not necessarily a language Sicilians speak with pleasure by the way so getting by was easy. The boss was friendly I did not try his English but he looks like he should not have any language problems and the food arrived quickly. It was superb ! By far the best meal in Sicily so far !!! Try it but be gentle with the family operating this remarkable joint: they look like they don’t suffer fools gladly……. Prices are very reasonable. Cash or credit cards accepted I will certainly be back I will certainly be back
