"This place is just amazing! The view is very nice and the food very very good! You can taste high quality ingredients! In addition the service is awesome, Dani is just the best, she will welcome you with a smile and a friendly Argentinian accent. The prices are pretty fair for the location so we'll probably come back to try more dishes because we liked a lot what we had the first time!"

"Tucked away in a corner with views over the harbour, we ate downstairs, leaving the elegantly dressed locals the upstairs balcony. The mixed seafood starter had the "sea on a plate" and was substantial. The fish mixed grill the same, but you have like cuttlefish and octopus. All washed down with the acceptable house white."

"One review I read wrote its a tourist rip off place, it is not true. We had a lovely dinner there, good local food most of the menu was in english as well. There was only a tiny confusiom regarding tomatoes on my meal but I could live without them. Important lesson for all Sicily they give huge portions, so it is recommended to share if you want to finish your plate ;)."

"The food here is incredible, we were able to sit outside and look at the castle while we enjoyed it. The staff was so kind and very accommodating. If you have a chance I recommend stopping here to eat, and there's an incredible gelato place right next door."
