one of the most interesting restaurants in the area, a new location for them with a beautiful relaxing outdoor space. chef Giacomo Caravello offers excellent traditional dishes with a touch of magic, the sea urchin crostini and the grilled octopus are very good. His first delicate and great tasting balice is worth trying. Congratulations to the guys in the dining room and to the sommelier who made us try beautiful things from the slopes of Etna

I came alone during one of my business trips. Besides the top-notch service—friendly and precise—the food is out of this world. The Albacore steak and Albacore sashimi with sea urchin on top were sensational. Five stars is too few, and the prices are more than fair. A restaurant like this in Rome would cost three times as much.

I chose the three-course tasting menu plus dessert. I had a wonderful time. In particular, the Venetian spaghetti, the atmosphere, the open kitchen, and the service were unforgettable.

We ate at this restaurant one evening and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised! Excellent value for money, equally good quality ingredients, and compliments to the chefs too! Service was a little slow... but that's okay! Well done!

Above all expectations: excellent ingredients, refined dishes, and unexpected pairings. Everything is delicious, from appetizers to dessert. We recommend the tasting menu to experience more of the restaurant's delicacies. Trust the staff's recommendations for wine pairings.
Very attentive service and a refined location.

Even though we liked the old location a little better, the quality and service are still excellent!

A place different from the others, eating well in Milazzo is easy but what you find here is different. You can see that it aims for more refinement and sophistication and in my opinion it succeeds very well.
Throughout the dinner we were well looked after and everything was explained to us in a complete way, even the wine, which I appreciated very much.
I started with a raw fish and unfortunately I regretted it because even though it was delicious I understood only afterwards that I should have concentrated on the elaborate dishes. I was lucky enough to taste sea urchins and aioli where the sweetness of the aioli created an incredibly harmonious contrast with the bitterness of the sea urchin, the tagliolini balice perfectly cooked and extremely delicious and fresh, and the octopus with super umami vegetables and with a sweet acid contrast.
I also had the panna cotta with fig leaves and miso and for me it is a work of art but I admit that I love all the ingredients that make up this dessert so perhaps I am a little biased.
Just to be picky, it could be improved:
The sign is missing
The panna cotta was slightly too thick and cold
The bread was brought a minute after the appetizers and I would have preferred to have it first or at the same time
I will definitely return and try the tasting menu. Congratulations

Balice is a new and fresh reality (about 6 years old), run by a young chef who is now renowned in the area. He recently moved to the center and we took the opportunity to return.
The new environment is contemporary, and this time there is the possibility of seating outside, but in our case we opted for the inside, the heat or rather the air conditioning won.
My wife and I made different choices, she tasted two appetizers and a second course, I a first course and a second course and we both finished with two desserts. The food was stellar, combinations of herbs, aromas and flavors truly Michelin-starred, perfect cooking, the guys in the dining room a real jewel in the crown, in short I can sincerely say that this place is one if not the jewel in the crown of our city. Congratulations!
