Degus In Milazzo

The Degus is a small corner of paradise in the village of Milazzo, near the castle. On this occasion we ordered two fish first courses and two second courses with side dishes. Excellent, tasty, cooked to perfection, the comfortable and welcoming environment, the excellent, fast and impeccable service. We ate well and the bill was also fair and honest.

Quiet place to dine and spend a quiet evening with your him or her compliments

I had dinner at this restaurant during my holiday in Sicily. The owner of the restaurant was very kind, and welcomed us immediately even though we had arrived without a reservation. After consulting the menu, I decided to order a red prawn tartare as a starter, while first I had the paccheri with pistachio pesto and crispy bacon. The red prawn tartare was simply sublime. The shrimp was very fresh. It's probably the best tartare I've ever eaten in my life, at least so far. The paccheri were also divine, they had a unique flavor and the cooking of the pasta was perfect. It is a dish that I highly recommend, considering that pistachio pesto is typical of Sicily. The bread that was brought to us was also excellent, and you can see that it is homemade bread. My girlfriend, however, had the potato pearls with tomato and burrata as a first course, while she ordered the grilled vegetables for the second course. I didn't try either of these two dishes but, according to her, these were also excellent. Regarding the prices, it is undeniable that they are quite high. To be clear, the tartare cost me €25 while the first courses go even over €15, but the very high quality of the food fully justifies these prices. It's money definitely worth spending. The place has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the environment was very peaceful. In essence, it is an exceptional restaurant that I highly recommend with my eyes closed. If it wasn't so far from where I live, I would go back immediately!

We ate very well, small place near the castle of Milazzo. Delicious first courses, everything delicious.

The raw fish and swordfish roll are excellent.

We enjoyed eating in peace and quiet. This was the best pasta of our last 9 days in Italy. We had the seafood risotto and pesto pasta. They were delicious. No pizza was available that evening. The waiter spoke English. The pistachio flank and the tiramisu were good!

The right definition is: EXCELLENCE. Excellence in taste, in the refinement of the dishes, which rediscover the true Sicilian tradition and which embrace you, with their flavours, as only our land can do. The excellence in the quality of the fish, of the raw fish that delight the palate, without forgetting the choice of wines and desserts, an excellent selection. For us it is a fixed and unmissable appointment, every time we return to Milazzo, since Degus has very few rivals.

We booked in the afternoon for a family dinner for 6. After ordering, in a very short time we were served the Sicilian appetizer, which was very good. Expectations were therefore high, also supported by the very pleasant context of the outdoor space in which our table was set. But after the starter the situation definitely gets worse when after more than 1 hour there is no trace of our dishes. Two tables seated after us begin to eat and we are still waiting. When the dishes finally start arriving the service is decidedly poorly coordinated as one of us receives his dish, finishes eating and the others nothing and so on for a couple. When we were all finally served we were still a little disappointed by: a pasta with Trapani pesto which was clearly a Genoese pesto (i.e. without cherry tomatoes) some rather tasteless Aeolian paccheri and the Malvasia calamari which - without it being indicated on the menu - they had a cheese filling that one of us can't eat. At the checkout we point out both the waiting times and the error in the pesto recipe but whoever was there, shrugging, passed the responsibility onto the chef without even trying to feel sorry, even pretending it would have gone better for me. When we said goodbye, we received a very limited response.

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Pesce freschissimo, il crudo semplicemente divino. Personale molto disponibile e cortese. Tornare il questo locale è sempre un piacere.

Ottimo menu, buon servizio, portate abbondanti. I primi di buona qualità e ben equilibrati, le pizze ben fatte e ingredienti di qualità. Prezzo giusto. Lo consiglio.
