Il Giardino In Mascalucia

The food was very delicious, the only thing that was a little expensive, the service was very attentive and friendly, the truth is, they fed us at 4 and it is a great detail

Friendly and polite staff, great food, great service.

Excellent pizzas. The place could be a little more tidy

Quality, refinement and courtesy. The owners are fantastic!

Very good food and very good ambience, and very very incredible host, eaten there twice in my 3 day stay and will definetly recommend and will come back as it so worth the money spent!!! Which isnt much by the way!!

Great place, excellent and super helpful service, excellent quality raw materials, highly recommended for anyone passing through Nicolosi.⚡⚡

Full disclosure. We came across this place by accident. Stopped at a nearby restaurant in Nicolosi and the cigarette smoke was intolerable, so we moved on. Found this place in Nicolosi while in the car and picked it as it had outdoor seating. We did not want to take a second chance.... We arrived and the charming owner invited us inside. At first blush, the interior is simple and homey. We were not yet quite sure what we were going to experience here. Our Italian is not very strong, but our host could not have been more friendly and accommodating. We asked for menus, but we were informed that it is a set menu and it changes daily. Alright, time to roll the dice. To start, antipasto consisting of fruit, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto drizzled with balsamic reduction, mozzarella buffalo, fresh ricotta, the absolute best mushrooms I have ever eaten ( I like mushrooms, but these were simply killer...), bread and olive oil from olives grown in the side of Mount Etna, and pickled onions, artichokes, carrots and celery. I am a huge fan of pickled pearl onions, all were very good! It was a lot, but time for pasta! We shared a platter of ravioli meant to be shared for two between the four of us. Spicy, but not too spicy covered in ground pistachio and sauce. I could not stop eating them even though I was full. Just so good... When clearing the table I pretended to tuck the bottle of olive oil out of sight to take home. Our host laughed... At checkout, we were presented with a bottle of olive oil! A souvenir from a wonderful day at Mount Etna and THE best meal I have had in Sicily and maybe ever...yep, it was that good. We are talking about going back before we leave.... Such a kind joyful host and fantastic food! Small wonder they have 4.5 on Tripadvisor!

Piatti di alta qualità, genuini e ottimi. Personale gentilissimo

Questo piccolo posto, nel cuore di Nicolosi, è uno di quelli in cui ritorno spesso e ogni volta è sempre un piacere. Tutto è sempre buono e genuino, i proprietari sono affabili e accoglienti. Ormai lo considero un luogo familiare in cui ho la certezza di essere trattata bene e mangiare bene. Non ci venivo da un po’ e l’ho trovato ancora più accogliente del solito, il menu ancora più ricco e variegato. Da provare e riprovare.

I would like to try pizza with different tastes, they told me that they can make it! And they made a half pizza with margherita with fresh onions and the other half was pizza norma which is my fav! They let me to taste another type of meat too! I really love this place and ambiance!
