“ We loved it: great raw fish, super fresh and tasty, as well as lovely grilled octopus and oven baked fish fillet. Simple and well prepared menu. They have a few local wines on their menu, nothing super fancy but a good match to the food. When ordering dessert, make sure you request their home made options. ”
“ Adding to a previous review, as we returned several times during our 3 week stay in the marina in Licata. This restaurant was our favorite in the Licata area. Each visit we had the whole fish, and each time it was perfectly cooked and very fresh. The pasta dishes were also very good (our first visit we weren’t as impressed with the pasta, but on subsequent visits the pasta dishes were excellent), and service was always very friendly. Also, it was very easy to reserve a table via the google chat box on google maps- the restaurant always responded quickly. (Original review) Excellent grilled whole fish - we had the spigola and orata and both were great, and very reasonably priced. We also had a risotto and a pasta dish, both were fine but nothing special. I would highly recommend if you are looking in particular for very good fresh fish. ”
“ Great reasonably priced menu. Great fish dishes, acceptable house wines ”
“ Simply the best of Licata, the pasta, the fish, absolutely everything they do, they just do it excellent. ”
“ Great food. Then octopus was perfectly cooked (it is not easy!) and the tuna was great. In both cases, the local ruccola (rockets) was very good. I had a nice house white wine. Friendly service in the heart of this nice little city. I highly recommend it. ”
