Awards Candidates 2019

16/05/2026: Very tasty, refined food with innovative flavors. The staff was also super friendly. Beautifully set and well-presented tables.

13/05/2026: A truly wonderful place, intimate and welcoming, with a refined atmosphere and kind, helpful staff from the moment you arrive. You can sense their attention to the customer and their desire to ensure a pleasant experience. It's a shame, however, about the food, especially considering some of the traditional Sicilian recipes. The artichoke "ammiuttunatu" arrived very hard, with a completely crumbly crumb and lacking the character this dish should have. The caponata was also unbalanced: using almonds instead of pine nuts significantly altered the flavor, and the dish was also undercooked, as the waiter confirmed. The risotto, however, was good. What's a bit disappointing is that, despite the staff acknowledging the dishes' weaknesses, there wasn't even a small gesture of attention to the customer at the end. It remains a very pleasant place, probably especially appreciated by those who want to enjoy a Sicilian experience in a beautiful location. As a Sicilian, however, I believe that some traditional recipes deserve greater care and faithfulness.

22/03/2026: A place you can't go wrong! It's a true pleasure to enjoy lunch or dinner at Giardini di Bacco. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable, and the quality of the dishes is always top-notch, catering to every palate. Coming here is a feast for the eyes, the smells, and the flavors.

22/03/2026: Excellent cuisine and a warm welcome. We always return with great pleasure. Highly recommended!

19/05/2026: We dined at this trattoria during our trip to Sicily and were truly delighted. We sampled several traditional Sicilian dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients and bursting with authentic flavor. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Furthermore, the value for money was excellent: we ate very well and paid a fair price. We definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Sicilian cuisine!

18/05/2026: My wife and I had dinner here to conclude our week in Sicily. Highly recommended. The spicy mussels were divine, the pasta superb, the Etna wine perfect, and the service very attentive and friendly. Reservations are essential, as it's always very busy! A top spot in Catania.

13/05/2026: Great place to eat!! If you like great pieces of Meat (served nicely), Italian pasta and great selection of Italian wines.

19/04/2026: The best thing is the very characteristic location. The food is excellent, and for wine lovers, there's a wide selection.

24/02/2026: If you're looking for the perfect place and, at the same time, want to eat divinely, you've come to the right place. The decor is meticulously crafted, modern, and sophisticated, with lighting that creates the perfect atmosphere from early morning. The pastry shop is almost architectural: they look like jewels with vibrant colors. I tried their gourmet breakfast and the pastry was simply perfect. I'll definitely be back, especially to try the deli counter, which, even just looking at it, is enchanting. It's not just a café, it's an aesthetic experience.

28/12/2025: A great little place for breakfast and coffee, with top-quality products and really nice coffee. The pistachio ice cream was fantastic, and they have a great variety of croissants to choose from. In the evening, there’s music which creates a lovely atmosphere, and the people working there are very friendly and welcoming. A great place to visit any time of the day.

15/05/2026: It was super tasty, but order the dishes for one person and share it.

13/05/2026: Everything was delicious, from the appetizer to the sorbet. Congratulations! We had the tasting menu. The fish was excellent, and the portions were generous and delicious! A very cute and welcoming place with lovely Sicilian details. The staff were kind and courteous, so happy we found you! We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

31/03/2026: We visited Thailand last year and thoroughly enjoyed the flavors of the local cuisine. We were delighted to see this Thai restaurant in our city. Intrigued and eager to revisit those unique flavors, we headed there. The location was elegant, the atmosphere authentic Thai, and the dishes and flavors were identical to those we'd tried in Thailand. We felt like we were back in Thailand for two hours. Thank you for this wonderful experience; we'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommended.

31/03/2026: -The Thai food tastes good, but it would be even better if the saltiness were reduced by about 30%. -The restaurant looks clean. -The staff are attentive and provide good service.

07/05/2026: Attentive, kind, and thoughtful staff. Short wait time. Delicious pizza. We booked in advance.

21/02/2026: Spectacular atmosphere, extraordinary staff!!! The food was delicious, and I recommend Fabinho's pizza!!! I'm in love!!!

03/06/2026: This restaurant was recommended to us by a local who we chatted with at a nearby cafe, so we were looking forward to trying it out. We ordered gnocchi pasta dish with tomato sauce, which tasted homely, had great comforting flavour. We also ordered a tagliatelle dish with mushrooms and truffle, and this tasted incredible. I only gave 4 out of 5 starts because we found a long hair in the tagliatelle, which was disappoiting. Also perhaps a more expensive restaurant than others in the town.

29/05/2026: The best restaurant in Enna and certainly one of the best in Sicily. You can't miss the citrus pesto pasta and the beccafico alicia.

03/06/2026: Typical trattoria, excellent food, honest price

30/05/2026: Great customer service, fast service, and excellent food quality. Don't miss the "torta della nonna."

09/06/2026: The shank was decent, but the pasta was overcooked. The service was trattoria-like but efficient. The price was above average for the appetizer, two first courses, and a second course, without wine.

08/06/2026: My go-to restaurant when I'm in Nicosia. Excellent food, friendly and professional staff.
