07/07/2025: There are places where the food is good. And then there are places where you feel at home: Lo Scoglio di Ulisse is definitely one of these.
I arrived on a summer evening, with the sun setting behind the Castello Ruffo and the sea that seemed painted. The restaurant overlooks the water, in what is perhaps the most fascinating area of Scilla, Chianalea. It only takes a few seconds sitting at the table to understand that you are in a special place.
The dishes? Absolute freshness. I tasted spaghetti with clams so full of sea that it seemed like a dive. The grilled fish was cooked to perfection: tender, tasty, real. No artifice, just simplicity and quality. And the selection of local wines was the icing on the cake.
But if I have to say it all, the true heart of the restaurant has two specific names: Graziella and Tina.
They are the ones who welcome you with a sincere smile, which makes you feel not like a customer, but a guest. They know every dish, every fisherman, every story behind every flavor. When they recommend something, they do it with that passion that only those who deeply love their job can transmit. They take care of every table as if it were their living room.
Graziella has her own way of being present without ever being intrusive. Just a look and she has already understood if you need something. With her there, the restaurant has a soul.
And congratulations to Mrs. Tina for the love and passion she puts into her work. We truly felt at home. Thank you so much.
In a world where restaurants come and go, Lo Scoglio di Ulisse leaves an impression. For its beauty, for its cuisine, but above all for its humanity. And if I return to Scilla (and I will), I already know where I will stop. And I already know that Graziella will be there together with Mrs. Tina who with their smile will make me feel in the right place again ❤️
