L'Antico Forno a Legna di Vincenzo Maugeri In Aci catena

14/09/2025: We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at this location. The hostess was very kind and helpful. We felt right at home... the food was very good. We spent €37 per person for a menu consisting of an aperitif, various appetizers, a first course, cake, fruit, and unlimited drinks. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for just one reason: during the evening, they had a problem in the kitchen that made the pasta sauce we had chosen unusable. So they had to improvise with a first course made with what they had, which unfortunately turned out very dry (not to mention that it was with mushrooms, which I don't eat, and they didn't even ask us if it was okay as an alternative). However, the thing that left me feeling "a bit so" is that, despite the inconvenience of the first course (even though I understand that it was obviously not wanted or expected), we weren't even given a €1 discount 😅. And honestly, we all expected that. Or at least I, as a business owner, would have done so.

02/08/2025: We had dinner at Villa delle Palme on Friday, August 1st. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed by Caterina and her daughter in their villa surrounded by greenery. The location was beautiful, the buffet excellent, everything authentic and well-cooked by Caterina, who was very friendly and welcoming. We will return as soon as possible.
