La Buona Forchetta In Balestrate

Friendly service and excellent food, I recommend it!

The food was truly delicious, everything was served very quickly, and the staff was extremely friendly. Highly recommended!

Everything was good and fresh, compliments for the pasta with the spectacular sea urchins

It was truly delicious! Had a great pizza, authentic carbonara, and excellent value for money! You get what you expect from Sicily. We'll go there again.

Four of us spontaneously got a table there during peak season without a reservation. Each of us enjoyed outstanding food at a great price. The food was served quickly and was of very good quality. We'll be back :)

It was a busy July evening (Sunday) for dinner at Balestrate's many restaurants. We stopped around 8:20 to order a tuna tartar appetizer, spaghetti with clams, and a grilled fish platter, which we received after more than an hour of waiting. The young waiter didn't know what else to say, and we certainly asked several times. At least the dishes were good, and after paying, we didn't ask for anything else for fear of having to wait another hour for coffee. Advice from one restaurateur to another: when these kinds of problems happen, it's good manners to offer something or even a discount as an apology!

A small but comfortable restaurant we found by chance, clean, and, despite the lack of air conditioning, breezy and cool. We had a mixed antipasto for two. The portions were generous and delicious. The ingredients were clearly of high quality. The seafood flavor was evident in every single dish. The mussel soup had a perfect balance of mussels (superlative flavor) and spicy sauce. For our first course, spaghetti with sea urchins was the perfect amount, and the flavor was so good it's hard to describe because there's no word to describe it. The sea bream we had for our second course was exquisite, perfectly cooked and delicious. What can I say? If we'd had more time on this mini-vacation, we would definitely have returned. The service was courteous and friendly. 5 stars are not enough. Thank you for this culinary journey. Ilaria and Roberto (and their children to follow)

Outstanding food and positive energy from the staff. Authentic Italian pizza and seafood. Really the place for me.😍😍

Geweldige keuken. Eigen tuin, ze maken alles zelf. Hele lieve mensen. Mooi restaurant. Wij hebben hier met 2 stellen zo lekker gegeten. Dit is een toplocatie.

Spent one night in Balestrate prior to flying home and chose this restaurant for dinner, in part because it had good vegetarian options on the menu. We arrived at 7pm as the restaurant was opening up and were warmly welcomed by a staff member who I’m guessing was one of the owners. Balestrate and the restaurant were not at all busy on this particular night as it was Easter Holy Week. The menu had good Sicilian options available for all tastes at reasonable prices. We had a relatively simple meal, all very tasty. The chef also came to our table to check everything was OK. One bonus was being introduced to the Campagnolo Big Corkscrew!! An impressive piece of kit! We ordered one as soon as we returned home!! We would recommend this restaurant to any one seeking a nice meal in the area.
