Wonderful dinner at this restaurant in Porto Empedocle. After a day of exploring the Valley of the Temples, we found a place that exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend it!
Excellent cuisine and authentic flavors
We ordered fried calamari as an appetizer, which was simply perfect: incredibly fresh calamari, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, fried to perfection without being greasy. A pure taste of the sea.
For our first course, the pasta with mussels was to die for. Super fresh mussels, opened on the spot, in a tomato, garlic, parsley, and cherry tomato sauce, with a hint of chili pepper that added just the right amount of character without overpowering the flavors. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the dish was generous. Every bite was a Sicilian embrace.
Impeccable atmosphere and service
Welcoming place. The staff was extremely kind, smiling, and very competent. Service was quick but never rushed.
Excellent value.
We paid the right amount for the quality we received: generous portions, very fresh ingredients, and authentic flavors.
We left happy, full, and eager to return soon. This is one of those restaurants that makes you love Sicily even more. If you're in Porto Empedocle, don't miss it!
Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We stopped by chance, and had canzutu bread and tagliatelle with scampi and chopped pistachios. Everything was delicious and the staff were very friendly.

We were on vacation in Sicily with a group of friends and stopped at Il Vecchio Forno.
A restaurant in the heart of Porto Empedocle, with meticulous attention to detail and a truly pleasant atmosphere.
Run by a husband and wife team, they are extremely kind, helpful, and attentive.
We ate very well: an excellent variety of seafood dishes, all fresh and well-prepared. The pizza was also a pleasant surprise, truly delicious.
The prices are more than fair for the quality.
Highly recommended if you're in the area and want to eat well in a welcoming atmosphere.

Very good pizza. Today we had the Bufala Parmigiana Margherita and Regina. The dough was delicious, the ingredients were well-baked, and the ingredients were fresh. I recommend it. The service was very friendly.

We had lunch here, choosing traditional Sicilian dishes: pani cunzatu and spatula with onion. The dishes were divinely cooked and plentiful. The owner was attentive and helpful.

The staff is welcoming and always available. Mrs. Sara, while we were waiting for our first child, brought some coloring books for our girls, which they loved. Excellent value for money.
