21/09/2024: Quiet place to dine and spend a quiet evening with your him or her compliments

06/09/2024: I had dinner at this restaurant during my holiday in Sicily. The owner of the restaurant was very kind, and welcomed us immediately even though we had arrived without a reservation. After consulting the menu, I decided to order a red prawn tartare as a starter, while first I had the paccheri with pistachio pesto and crispy bacon. The red prawn tartare was simply sublime. The shrimp was very fresh. It's probably the best tartare I've ever eaten in my life, at least so far. The paccheri were also divine, they had a unique flavor and the cooking of the pasta was perfect. It is a dish that I highly recommend, considering that pistachio pesto is typical of Sicily. The bread that was brought to us was also excellent, and you can see that it is homemade bread. My girlfriend, however, had the potato pearls with tomato and burrata as a first course, while she ordered the grilled vegetables for the second course. I didn't try either of these two dishes but, according to her, these were also excellent. Regarding the prices, it is undeniable that they are quite high. To be clear, the tartare cost me €25 while the first courses go even over €15, but the very high quality of the food fully justifies these prices. It's money definitely worth spending. The place has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the environment was very peaceful. In essence, it is an exceptional restaurant that I highly recommend with my eyes closed. If it wasn't so far from where I live, I would go back immediately!
