We visited this restaurant in sunday evening at 20:45 and luckily took last table. This is not a restaurant but tavern, one small hall with 8 tables, decorations are very simple. The host is a very kind and colourful person. He took our order very quickly with the helpful recommendations. Menu was very simple with common local dishes. Unfortunately there... More

We discovered this place when taking a local walk and so glad we stopped here for food. We received a very warm welcome and the owner of the place went out of his way to make sure we had a lovely experience. He recommended meals according to our needs and was very keen to ensure the experience was a delicious... More

This was the best place we ate in town! Everything was very tasty and real original italian, much better than the touristic places. Very friendly service too.

One evening we decided to go out for dinner to this place, having read reviews on TA. We were the first visitors, but not the ones after 5 min! The atmosphere in the restaurant is very simple and like at sicilian home, food is truly homemade, Sicilian. Don't expect here something of what you can get in restaurants of high... More

We went to this restaurant 2 times. Geronimo proposed each time the menu and let us discover the delicious Sicilian specialities (like fish and pasta). Geronimo has a wonderful personality and as a plus he speaks fluent German and he gives free advice for tips of the region. Highly recommended! Thank you Geronimo and we'll certainly come back.

Overrated on tripadvisor. We went there on TA advice, but will not return. We requested the €15 fish menu, but were persuaded "Sicilian style" to add €5 each for "better quality".... Food is ample but not refined, even rather average. We sureley will never again be pursuaded in Sicily to pay more for better quality by a restaurant owner. The... More

As others have said the owner will ask you to write a review on tripadvisor. Fair enough, this guy needs all the advertising he can get. The location is a bit off and when you look inside you may think twice. However we went here on the recommendation of our host - and he was right. The wine list is... More
