Osteria Del Ponte In Scicli

Personale cortese, locale pulito e cibo molto buono rendono quest’osteria un posto in cui val la pena pranzare o cena. Pizza buonissima, e primi deliziosi.

On a cold February morning we needed some warming food and good wine, so parked on Corso Umberto I to walk up to Osteria del Ponte where we chose a table for two. A good sign for us was that there were other local folk eating already. I chose the Pasta 'ncasciata (with fried aubergine, cooked ham, onion, caciocavallo cheese, and breadcrumbs) and my companion the Cavati alla Norma con ricotta salata, both of which arrived steaming hot and proved totally delicious. The portions were generous. I had a glass of Grillo wine, and we rounded off our delightful meal with a Tortino dal cuore (pie with a warm heart) with vanilla ice cream. The service was very good and when I used the toilet facilities they were spotlessly clean, though I noted for hygiene's sake that there was no toilet seat. It was a lovely experience and a week later we still recall;l our lunch there with pleasure and delight. I kept my jacket on for the lunch as the restaurant was cool inside.
