Ristorante Le Giare In Tusa

We were staying in Tusa November 2025, and the food & hospitality here made an otherwise cold & rainy night at the end of our trip into a warm, memorable & outstanding way to leave this hilltop town! We were starving and as we walked by we saw LOTS of people going into what looked like a tiny storefront & coming out with pizza boxes, so thought we'd give it a try for pizza. Once we were inside we saw it's larger than we thought & were quickly greeted & seated at a charming table tucked in the back with exposed stone walls, wood beams and decor. With the owner's suggestion, we opted for a "traditional Sicilian meal" and every single plate that came our way was somehow both simple and utterly delicious. Being americani & because the food was SO good, we did our best to clean every plate, lol. We had decided we were stuffed & done when asked if we wanted to try their lamb-- umm, yes! Ohhh what a way to go, man, it was one of our best meals ever. Our only regret is we didn't find it until the end of our visit so only ate there once! Can't wait until we're back in Tusa so we can eat at Le Giare again.

Amazing food! Can’t wait to get back to Tusa Thank you Marco!

I’ve no idea how anyone can not give Le Giare anything but 5 stars. The food is excellent and the ambiance is friendly, warm and thoroughly authentic.

We fell in love with this place. Vincenzo and his family were very attentive to us, everything was absolutely delicious, special mention to the olive oil, which Vincenzo made us taste, and the many antipasti tutti ottimi!! The kind of place we would like to have close to home!

The owners are very nice and friendly, the food is great.

We arrived without a reservation and they kindly prepared a table for us. We were served a tasting menu with dishes made from local produce, each one more delicious than the last. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Flavors, quality, tasty bread, and truly exceptional olive oil—in short, authenticity from days gone by. Every time I return to Tusa, it's an essential stop to nourish my heart and soul.

From the photos online and the wonderful reviews, it seemed like the perfect place for my palate. The ingredients were expertly selected by the owner, who wandered from table to table explaining their provenance. But the most important ingredient was missing: love! The dishes lacked character, cooked without passion. It's a real shame they didn't give dignity and prominence to the quality of the ingredients. The dishes were few, the appetizers plentiful, but a bit pricey for the quality of the food. They need a passionate chef...

We found this place by chance after a stroll around the panoramic viewpoint. Even though there wasn't enough room, the waiters and owner managed to find us a spot. The pizzas were good, and the house dessert was unique—perhaps too sweet, depending on your taste. At the end of the evening, the owner even offered us a liqueur.
