Trattoria Turioleddu In Melito di porto salvo

31/07/2025: Highly recommended!!! The location is a bit cramped (probably better this way, as it benefits the attention to detail on the food), with outdoor tables overlooking the street. Pros: it's just a stone's throw from the center, and a stroll after an excellent dinner is pleasant. I start with bread and oil: it seems trivial, but the excellent bread and excellent oil, in addition to promoting local products, magnificently prepare the palate for the following courses. We ordered a hot and cold appetizer and competed, tasting both, to decide which was the best, it's hard to decide, an explosion of flavor 😅... Stellar appetizer. The first course, pasta with sea urchins, was off-menu, good but could be better 😉 also because expectations rise after the excellent start... PS: €30 for a single first course is probably a bit excessive 😅... Excellent service, waiting times between courses were perfect, not too fast or too slow, just enough to enjoy the dish, the dinner, and the evening. Very friendly and professional owners ☺ We will definitely be back... De gustibus ad maiora

28/06/2025: If I had to find fault with this place I would have to use a lot of imagination, the place is certainly intimate and not at all chaotic, so if you are looking for tranquility and order it is the right place, keeping in mind that we had the pleasure of having lunch on a winter Sunday, in the summer given the excellent cuisine it will certainly have more seats. Friendly, prepared and attentive staff, the food, the cuisine, the dishes, are something unique in their genre. The phrase that framed the lunch was always "but how good is it"? Don't expect trattoria portions or prices from such... praise to the chef for having curated gourmet dishes with territorial and well-unified ingredients. I would definitely go back. For me 6 stars... 5 would be the minimum.
