Delicious food, generous portions and friendly staff. If you're not happy about this place just go eat your usual mc donalds and do not complain

Unfortunately my worst experience in a restaurant in my life. They list dishes as vegetarian when this is not true. I had tuna in my pasta norma (traditionally a vegetarian dish with eggplant) which wasn’t mentioned on the menu - so shortly afterwards I had...to throw up in the toilet. Also the service wasn’t good at all. Although I didn‘t have to pay for the pasta I can totally not recommend this restaurant.More

Pepe and his wife will propose all sort of seafood traditional dishes, including the famous pasta alla vongole. They have their twist on most of these, and you will enjoy you time there.

Really bad experience there. The staff was not nice. The food was not really tasty and qualitative. The tuna polpette were really bad. I don’t recommend this place.

Stumbled upon this place as they were setting the tables for dinner. Most delicious Tuna steak I have ever had covered in Pistachio sauce. My children loved the pasta and the calamari fried. If you visit this island this is a must go to restaurant!

This restaurant has excellent waitstaff. The family that runs the restaurant was great with our kids and got them pasta with tomato sauce even though it wasn’t on the menu. The tuna steak was excellent with pistachio sauce. The tuna pasta with pistachio was also...excellent . We would definitely come here again.More

We stumbled across this gem by chance. It is fitted with such quaint decor very typical of Favignana. we were a group of 8 and they quickly and kindly accommodated us. We had also been at the beach for the day so we were almost...too late for lunch,but they made an exception. Which was so lovely! Could not regard all of our meals so highly, such unique flavours and mixtures - better than other meals we had had at more expensive restaurants around Sicily. A must visit if you go to Favignana! My tip is try as much as you can and ask their recommendation. My favourite was the PISTACCHIO pesto tuna steakMore

Loved this restaurant so much we came 3 times for dinner; well priced and super fresh seafood; i’d Recommend the Fiorentina of tuna 500g Devine best “alla Santuna” with tomatoes,oregano and capers; you won’t get the same quality for the same price anywhere else; the...Fiorentina of tuna is only 25 euros and can easily feed two people...I also got the octopus with pistachio perfectly cooked; definitely recommendMore

The restaurant is very small with an oitdoor seating area. Entree and pastas were delicious, we really enjoyed the food. The only thing is that the service was extremely slow, but the staff was nice. Would def go back and have patience because the food...is worth it!!More

We had to come here after seeing all the reviews for the pistachio tuna and we were so glad we did! The pistachio sauce tuna was divine, would eat it every day if i could! All meals we had were excellent and if we'd had...more time we would've loved to come back again for me! It was busy, I would recommend reserving a table out the front on the terrace in advance.More

We were a group of 14 persons and we spent an amazing afternoon on the streets of Favignana, thanks to Pepe and the staff of IL Pakkaro. They did an excellent job on serving us amazingly good and fresh fish. We had almost all kinds...of fish and sea food on the menu, and all of them were excellent. I highly recommend it.More

Delicious dishes with genuine local ingredients at great prices. Every dish I saw come out looked amazing. It looked like there were no veggie options but I was offered a number of traditional dishes without the fish which was wonderful (and shows its cooked from...scratch). My husband had two excellent seafood dishes. Just sad I didn't have space for desert.More
