“ Finally!! Good food. The seafood here is unbelievably fresh and made to perfection. I ordered the grilled octopus and the lobster pasta and both dishes were TOP! It's so hard to find good restaurants in Sicily. I was lucky to find this one. ”
“ Amazing family run place in the middle of the market. We loved the octopus in tomatoe sauce, crispy calamari and the mix seafood pasta. I wish I had space for the gambas and pistachio aranchini but we were so full. Super fresh food in a lovely atmosphere. Very good prices! Fully recommend ”
“ We went here to try another place in the fish market area. They have a stand also that sells fried seafood in cone and I believe some packaged octopus salad but we decided to sit down. I I had the octopus salad and my husband had the clam pasta. The octopus salad was okay and the pasta was delicious. Portions were a bit smaller than other places we have been to. Overall, not a bad place to stop by when you are at the market. ”
“ The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable, he explained the dishes in a great detail and was very happy to help us understand the menu. The food was good and the fish was very fresh, all in all it was a great experience! Great option for trying out the local food, big portions too and a great value for money. :) ”
