"Tucked away from crowds. Best pasta we had while in Sicily (Catania, Syracuse, and Taormina)! Had flat noodles, crusty parmesan, chick peas, and ham, a pesto past; and a tuna pasta. All incredible for the 3 of us. White wine from Etna vineyard, kind servers."

"The view was amazing, very good presentation of the plate. However, the pistachio pasta with buffalo cream was a bit disappointing. No idea why fresh onion and celery are added. And wayyyyy too much not fine grated lemon zest! The zesty flavor took over pistachio and buffalo! Also fresh onion totally ruined the flavor. And we order mixed grilled veggies, but feeling salad dominant. Didn’t get asked if we wanted the side dish to be served first or all together, they brought it all together. But would have prefer not all at the same time since the pasta gets cold easily and same is the grilled veggies. And check your bills before paying, we ended up getting charged for three glasses while we only ordered two. Cute cats popping around and sunny terrace are the two reason I gave 5 stars to the ambiance."

"Delicious
Great spot for delicious Sicilian food and excellent service. Popular, so reservations are recommended. The mussels and tiramisu are standout dishes. Only drawback is the nearby residential parking, but overall a lovely dining experience. A solid choice for quality Sicilian cuisine with friendly service. Would definitely return!"
