Buena Vida Siciliana In San vito lo capo

Excellent culinary experience I highly recommend

Something you wouldn't expect in the center of San Vito Lo Capo: a place with top-quality ingredients, including busiate pasta with scampi, as seen in the photo, and the tuna belly steak, cooked to perfection and extraordinary, and finally, some excellent pizzas. The staff goes out of their way to please their customers. Definitely a place to recommend to anyone looking for a fair price and truly excellent food.

Very high quality restaurant, both the first and second courses are spectacular and the pizzas are also delicious, highly recommended.

When you ask a local friend for a restaurant where you eat well and pay a fair price? Here you can't go wrong! Fresh fish, typical local dishes! Very satisfied!

Found by chance, we found kindness and courtesy and good fish!

Delicious food, great service, pleasant atmosphere!

Honestly a letdown experience overall. Their only salvation was their cous cous with fried fish and their traditional busiate with prawns that were pretty nice. The rest it was a letdown in terms of service and overall attention to a paying guest. Beginning from a reservation done over the phone and apparently never confirmed. Initially the owner did not want to give us a table as they were fully booked ( we did 1 hour journey just to dine there ) ; after making him aware that it was their fault for not inputting our reservation in the system, as they confirmed it to us over the phone , we finally got a table. The experience from there it worsened; no attention to our table , with different requests of wine , bread , water that was only brought to our table after multiple requests. We waited 1 hour for every course , ending in an overall experience of 3 hours for a simple dinner. No acknowledgment of delays throughout the experience as if this is normal procedure. Overall we paid and gave feedback at the end of the experience , which it was acknowledged and taken on board. My advice : Stop taking multiple reservations at the same time if you cannot cater for them , as you should always prioritise guest experience over everything else. ( feedback given from someone that actually works in hospitality around the world)

Finally, some truly authentic flavors! I had dinner at this restaurant this evening. Everything was superb, from the tuna appetizer served in various ways, to the first courses and dessert. I recommend it to everyone!

Wir haben hervorragend hier gegessen,etwas abseits des Rummels und mit einem sehr netten Service, jederzeit wieder!!!!

A warm welcome and sumptuous food awaits you at Buenavida Sicililiana. Patrons should be advised that the owner, Riccardo, an incredibly handsome and well preserved man of only 43 years of age, runs two restaurants and they are next door but one to each other. The pizzeria is at Via Dogana 26 and the restaurant itself (the subject of this review) is at #14 on the same street. We almost missed the experience here as #26 was closed and we nearly missed the establishment a few yards down the road. The food was wonderful and reasonably priced, the service friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble for Riccardo to translate any parts of the menu into English if Google failed. The house red wine at 21 or 23 Euros per bottle was amongst the best we’ve ever had in Italy, over several visits across the years. An overall excellent experience with an amicable and amusing proprietor- his sense of humour and our conversation with his lovely wife made the evening exceptionally pleasant. 10/10 - highly recommended.
