"We walked for ages to get there and it was worth the walk! Very friendly service. It appeared to be a local spot and wasn’t really aimed at tourists which was nice! The food was very fresh and super delicious- proper Sicilian style. We got lamb chops with herb potatoes and fresh pasta in a pumpkin sauce with sausage meat and fennel seasoning."

"The steaks and service were okay, providing a decent dining experience. While the menu doesn’t offer a huge variety, it’s a good option if you’ve had enough seafood and are looking for something different. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a change of pace, especially if you’re in the mood for a straightforward steak meal."

"We visited this restaurant near Giardini Naxos as we had heard great things about their meat selection, the girls who served us were delightful and helpful and the owner/chef and his son also a chef there was very friendly and even sat with us to help us choose a dish, Gianfranco even suggested that a pork dish which on the menu is made with an almond wine sauce that he could replace with a Marsala wine sauce which was simply delicious, a lovely evening was had and we also loved that our dog was allowed inside and was very spoilt by the team"
