We ordered a variety of dishes, including meat cooked in the oven(L’agnello), a mixed Sicilian starter(Antipasto misto), Sicilian beer, and desserts(Parfait alle mandorle & Biancomangiare). The lamb was perfectly prepared, and the salad was fresh. The antipasto misto offered a delightful selection of traditional Sicilian appetizers. The desserts, were the perfect way to end the meal. The food was heavenly, and the service and staff were outstanding!

Authentic local restaurant offering a selection of exquisite local meals and a delightful atmosphere. Though inconspicuous from the outside, the charming and welcoming interior, coupled with the open kitchen concept, provide for a pleasant and intimate environment. The appetizer of local specialties was delicious and so were both of our pasta options. The meat was tender, juicy and well seasoned. To top it off, the tiramisu and the panna cotta were fabulous as well. The staff was friendly and welcoming and our orders were delivered swiftly. We really enjoyed our lunch in this restaurant and we can undoubtedly highly recommend it.

We have eaten several times here, and it's always good! Very tasty, good portion size. Antipasti was amazing. Waiters serve well and always bring fresh bread and oil while you wait. We recommend this place!
