"First impression of the restaurant was great. The waiter was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Unfortunately, our positive experience changed very fast. Our antipasti had a piece of plastic wrapping in it which I found in the portion of the dish that had calamari and eggplant. Not too big of a deal though, these things happen and we moved on. My girlfriend informed the waiter that she was pregnant and couldn't eat shellfish or large fish such as tuna or swordfish and was recommended the couscous dish. I ordered mussels. Once the food arrived, we noticed that her dish was full of swordfish, clams and mussels... exactly what she couldn't eat. At this point we didn't want to make a fuss so she just gave me those pieces which she couldn't eat. A couple of bites in, she finds a piece of aluminum foil in the dish. Now she's getting angry. A few bites later, she pulls out yet ANOTHER piece of plastic wrapping. This was the straw that broke the camels back and we had to say something at this point. Our original waiter noticed the error and was visibly upset and immediately apologized but for some reason, another waiter felt he needed to say his part and tried to explain to my girlfriend that it wasn't plastic but rather a shell... from the calamari. Well, I might not live by the sea but I know for certain that squid doesn't shells that look like pieces of plastic wrapping. This other waiter basically started arguing with my girlfriend which was rubbing salt in the wound at that point. Fortunately, the first waiter (who turned out to be the owner/manager), comped our entire meal and apologized. This part was greatly appreciated. PS. The gin tonic was phenomenal!"

"We love hidden treasures...but only when you find them! See photos for the hotel that hosts this restaurant. No street presence is only great for hiding your cash stash. The service is super friendly and only the people that want to sell you stuff speak better English. Sadly, it came to greatest use when telling me that the 1 dish that the region is famous for, cous cous with fish, is sold out . Able to Abe altered with a click. It 's seriously the only dish a place in this part of Sicily must sell out of. People have been stabbed in the eye with a pen by Joe pesci for less. Second visit, still not...and the time to say this is when you give the menu, not when I order it...and the juices on the lunch menu? Only available at breakfast. And...these are displayed on a tablet. The food ranges from problematic overcooked tuna in the pasta, no genuine appearance of promised Sicilian lemon in the pasta, or lime in the otherwise delicious spaghetti...a little juice in the sauce was fine, but the sweetness of the real deal wasn 't apparent, nor a lemon/lime fillet, supermarket bread literally bought the same yesterday) , or the greatest rind in citrusville) to good perfectly cooked supermarket pasta) to excellent smoked swordfish and mozzarella) to sublime the fish velouté in the pasta). The views are great, and the prices won 't kill you, once you get there."
