L'Arte del Gusto In Santa margherita di belice

17/07/2025: I've known this place for years. I've had three takeout pizzas. The pizza is very good and well-topped. The ingredients are high-quality. The atmosphere is very nice; you can eat inside or at one of the many tables outside. I've noticed that the staff is very courteous and quick to take orders and bring the dishes to the tables. While we waited, they had us sit on sofas and armchairs and offered us a glass of wine/limoncello (a much-appreciated courtesy).

13/07/2025: We've been to this restaurant several times, mostly in groups. We've always been happy with the food, especially the pizzas. But after last night's experience, I honestly don't think we'll be back. I ordered a plate of mussels with lemon and risked food poisoning. I immediately pointed out that the mussels were very dirty, raw (the mollusk was still fully expanded and attached to the entire surface of the shell), and, more seriously, some of them had a bad taste. Despite this, I tried to be polite, saying that, for goodness sake, it can happen! But I never expected that, at the cash register, they'd charge me for a dish I barely finished for fear of getting sick! Not only did they take away the plate half full, but some of them were visibly spat on. I'm sorry, but that's not respectful to the customer!
