"The BEST meal of my 2-week visit to Sicily.
Yes, in the land of wonderful, fresh, delicious, interesting, diverse food, that is saying a lot.
First of all, the restaurant is casually elegant and classy inside and out. The staff is equally professional, warm and welcoming.
I had the perfect meal - seafood couscous with a glass of the local Gallo wine. The seafood soup was a sophisticated layer of flavors that were robust yet light. I enjoyed eating it as soup, and also pouring it over the couscous. The fresh, local warm water crab, lobster and red shrimp were wonderfully delicate, sweet and briny. And I think I just learned what real couscous is - light and fluffy with a flavor on its own before I added the soup. The gallo wine was the perfect complement.
This restaurant came highly recommended by my B&B owner. I am so grateful he sent me here and told me his favorites. The entire menu is inviting, so it was good to know - at least for my first visit - to focus on the seafood couscous!
The staff were approachable and very knowledgeable about the entire menu - food and wine - and shared some background on the local crops and specialties. They made my experience that much nicer!
Wonderful! Brilliant! Grazie Mille!
PS. I don't understand why google is saying Temporarily Closed. I was just there a couple weeks ago. I recommend you call to confirm they are open. It would be tragic if they are in fact closed."
