Il Re di Girgenti In Agrigento

27/11/2024: 5/5 in everything!! the starter with the fish was so simple and yet so tastefull ( could have been at a lower price comparing in quantity). We tried the pasta alle vongole, the one with the mussels but the star-plate was the shrimp pistacchio spaghetti. I cound never imagine shrimp with pistacchio (maybe sicilian cuisine combines lost of dishes with different nuts) it was truly a 5/5 exprerience, a quiet place in a back alley, very romantic! the wine list is great, but also the staff was very kind, helpfull, and elegant with their moves! comparing to other places this city has to offer, which are ver disappointing, this one stands out and deserves the 4.5 on google reviews. mind you it is not a 10 euro per person, but it is an elegant restaurant with great menu and service. well done!!

18/11/2024: Went here for dinner due to the good reviews but were very disappointed with the food. We ordered "fantasia di mare" as an appetizer and as mains the "carbonara di mare e bottarga" and "zuppa dello chef". The service was friendly and the food was served quickly. The quality of the appetizer was good, but the carbonara was way oversalted, and the soup with the catch of the day seemed very simple flavor-wise (tomato soup with broken pasta). As foreigners with almost no Italian knowledge there was a language barrier with the waiter speaking also almost no English and we didn't know that they only served wine or water as drinks. Complimentary bread was nice though. Our visit was only okay and we would not return again, sadly.
