Passarello In Santa croce camerina

15/03/2026: Typical, authentic. The food is very good and fresh.

07/03/2026: Now I understand why Montalbano always returned there ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I admit I almost chose another place. A recent review had me hesitant: someone had complained about the Sicilian red prawns being "too small," the Sicilian ricotta and local cured meats being rated worse than those in the supermarket, and—the icing on the cake—the garbage truck driving by. Reading it, I thought: either this person has never set foot in Sicily, or they simply don't know what they're eating. I decided to take a chance. I was right. The fish was disarmingly fresh—you could taste the sea on your plate, the real thing, not the tame stuff from tourist restaurants. The red prawns? Small, yes, as they should be. The typical products—ricotta, cured meats—were exactly what you come to Sicily for: authentic, local, impossible to find on the supermarket shelf. Vincenzo, owner and chef, cooks with a passion that shines through in every dish. His wife and children serve: a family that manages the dining room with warmth and true professionalism. And then I discovered that Luca Zingaretti, during the filming of Inspector Montalbano, was also a regular here. After that dinner, I understood perfectly why. Some places aren't chosen by chance. I'll be back.
