Pizzeria La Rustica In Caltagirone

"La Rustica" is located by the sea, but not directly on the beach, but across the street, so you can't really call it a classic sea view. The decor is rather modern, so you can't really call it cozy. When the restaurant is fully booked, it's incredibly loud. This was a bit too much even for the Italians living in Trapani, who are certainly used to a different noise level than I am. Service: When we ate at "La Rustica," the restaurant was completely packed. There were 18 people at our table alone, plus another birthday party and a few smaller tables. However, the restaurant was well-prepared and well-staffed. So, there were never long waits for orders. You could tell the staff were under pressure, which is normal given the number of customers. The food arrived promptly at our tables. - 4/5 Food: That day, I had a Pizza Diavola with spicy salami. What's particularly cool is that the pizza here is cut into several small squares that are almost bite-sized. This saves you the hassle of cutting. The salami tasted very good, and all the other ingredients were well-chosen. For a 5-star pizza, the crust was a bit too thick for me, but that's a matter of taste, of course. Personally, I prefer a thin crust and crispy crust. - 4/5 Value for money: A very good pizza for under €10. I don't think much needs to be said about the value for money here. In Germany, I would certainly have added at least €4 on top. - 5/5 Conclusion: A very good pizza that I can recommend without reservation at a reasonable price. For a romantic meal or if you want to have a good conversation, I would rather go to another location; it's just too loud. Add dinner after a visit to the beach? Perfect. - 4/5
