Trattoria Bar Forum da Luca In Castiglione delle stiviere

What can I say, restaurants as you would always like them: few frills, a lot of concreteness but above all raw materials, with fish arriving fresh from Sicily 2/3 times a week and dishes cooked in a divine way. Everything is freshly prepared, so you might wait a moment longer, but you will be rewarded with unique and superlative dishes. Tommaso, uniquely kind and originally from Messina, takes care of the dining room, while his wife gives free rein to her creativity in the kitchen. As starters we opted for a real octopus with very soft and freshly blanched potatoes and a swordfish parmigiana which brought to mind Sunday lunches at my grandmother's house.... VERY GOOD! For the first courses, linguine with sea urchins and linguine with raw purple prawn steak from Mazara, stracciatella and cherry tomatoes... a unique taste... you could taste the sea! We concluded with two excellent decomposed cannolis that were equally good. Everything perfect, ingredients, cuisine and great hospitality and kindness. I highly recommend it and we will definitely return to dine there!

Delicious food, relaxing environment and Mr. Tomasso and his wife are always welcoming and ready to make you feel at home. The paella from Messina is amazing. I will be back soon soon.

The food is at least spectacular, you can see the careful choice of the fish. Then there is the friendliness, friendliness and kindness of the owners!!❤️

Having entered by chance, we discovered a particular and welcoming place, we could smell a great scent of fish as soon as we entered, while Tommaso welcomed us with great kindness and a decidedly atypical way of acting, not much like a "salesman", much more friendly and in hand, a person who lets his passion for his work and interest in making his customers feel good shine through. The place is simple but well decorated, managed in its entirety by Tommaso and his wife, a very quiet place in which we spent a nice evening. I ate linguine with purple prawns and stracciatella as a first course, while as a second course I had swordfish Messina style, both exceptional, the linguine was truly special, a combination as particular as it was good, the prawn truly exceptional. Excellent prices, first and second course with water and coffee were under 30 euros, and I left with a decidedly full belly, and with a lot of satisfaction. I will definitely be back as soon as possible, it was a pleasant discovery!

Excellent restaurant, delicious fresh fish cooked naturally without additives or preservatives. Hospitable and friendly. Highly recommended

Excellent restaurant in the center of Castiglione delle Stiviere, I ate excellent linguine with seafood and excellent mixed fried food. The owner's friendliness and friendliness did the rest, recommended.

Excellent food combined with kindness and courtesy.

Very nice owners, Sicilian food, good wine, inside (air conditioned) and outside, but outside you sit on the street, but that's ok. There are only a few tables outside. Was there twice, everything was delicious so far, would be happy to go again

In their eyes the passion for their work and the love for their land which they express perfectly in their dishes. Advised!!

A delicious meal, with Tommaso's excellent service! Very friendly and helpful.
