"A must visit for any burger lover! Our massive burgers where piled high with the tastiest, juiciest ingredients and the menu was equally robust with many unique burgers to choose from. My partner (who is Gluten Free) got to enjoy a burger with their favorite GF bun yet. Plus the crispy fries and creative appetizers (all at surprisingly affordable prices) make this place a must visit while in Marzamemi. We went twice! So once you’ve reached your limit of the local tuna, walk out of the main square for a unique Sicilian experience."

"It was a very slow Thursday evening and we had heard that this restaurant served fresh fish cooked well. There was only one other couple there and we were made very welcome, sat down, a litre of white wine and sparkling water brought to our table. The menu was very interesting and different, it was also in Italian, German and English which was very helpful. The waiter brought out a basket of fresh fish to show us and the range of fish, prawns, octopus and other was extensive. We chose the antipasti for two at €18 and it was superb and more than enough. It had omelet, stuffed mussels, artichoke, octopus, white shrimp in a mayonnaise sauce, aubergine and then a huge plate of fresh prepared fish including huge prawns, sardines, tiny octopus and other grilled and fried white fish. It was very filling and delicious. I had ordered fried calamari and a green salad and Pam had the large prawns. My calamari were cooked just right and were delicate to cut and easy to eat, not hard and rubbery if cooked for too long. My green salad was fresh and with balsamic vinegar brought to the table. Pam enjoyed her prawns which were well cooked, but not over cooked and olive oil was brought to the table for her to dip in. We finished the meal with coffees and a grappa. The whole bill came to €67 which was excellent value for money as well as being delicious food and the quirky ambience of the restaurant added to the enjoyment. I would thoroughly recommend L'Approdo in Marzamemi for its food, service and all round experience."

"I went to this restaurant on September 7, 2023 with my husband and 3 and a half year old daughter. Overall the place is nice, nothing special. In the sense that it is on the sea but as it was a very windy and rainy evening the curtains were closed so you couldn't see the sea. But it has its potential. For dinner we had cutlet and chips for the little girl and nothing to say about the right price for the portion as they were two cutlets and a fair portion of chips. As appetizers we took a mixed seafood dish paid €18, a meager dish and honestly without flavor and without love as they say, in the sense that the tastes could not be distinguished between swordfish and tuna; and then a fried mix of chips, panelle, onion rings and potato croquettes and there is nothing to say in the sense of a classic fry. We continued the dinner with a first course of spaghetti with pistachio pesto, parmesan flakes and raw rocket but which we didn't add because it wasn't to our liking, overall a nice dish, plentiful and good but nothing special. As a second course, a mixed grill of fish with prawns, tuna, squid and swordfish: the tuna was very soft and really good, the swordfish was a little chewy, the prawns and squid were good. Overall a good dish. Let's say that apart from the fish starter which was paid too much for quality and quantity, the dinner went well. To drink we had a glass of house white wine, nothing special, it's a bottle of water and we paid a total of €90. Certainly normal prices for being in Marzamemi but there is better around both in terms of quantity and prices. Good service nothing to say."

"Siamo stati ieri a pranzo, ed è stata una bella esperienza. Lo staff e gentilissimo e premuroso. Accoglienza e cordialità unica. La location è curata con cenni artistici di strumenti musicali. Ampio spazio all'esterno nella piazza centrale di Pachino. Il menù è concentrato, ma vorresti prendere tutto. I cocktail, almeno il nostro era buonissimo. Parliamo dei piatti, tagliere di mare, direi promosso! Il tonno affumicato era pazzesco, il pesce spada idem. Le bruschette con burro acciuga e confettura, che goduria !! Il polpo era così morbido, entusiasmato da quel sapore. Il primo poi, consigliato dal cameriere è stato un tripudio, una rivisitazione dell'aglio olio e peperoncino con fonduta di grana e tartara di gambero ma che ve lo dico a fare! Ottimo !"

"Siamo andati in questo bar con un gruppo di amici quest’estate. Volevamo prendere un gelato quindi entriamo, e chiediamo gentilmente se prima di prendere i gelati potevamo usufruire dei servizi igienici, poiché avevamo passato tutta la giornata fuori. Ci dicono che “il servizio è riservato ai clienti”, con tono alquanto scorbutico. Noi ripetiamo che è nostra assoluta intenzione consumare lì, semplicemente chiedevamo se fosse possibile prima utilizzare il bagno e poi procedere con l’ordinazione. Ancora titubanti ci dicono di sì. Per circa 10 minuti ci hanno guardati come fossimo ladri che gli avevano appena svuotato la cassa, ci siamo così sentiti a disagio che abbiamo cominciato ad ordinare nonostante alcuni di noi stessero ancora arrivando. Osservavano ognuno di noi dalla testa ai piedi e anche durante l’ordinazione ci hanno risposto con tono sgarbato. Oltre questo, il ragazzo che ha pagato ci ha detto che non gli hanno dato nemmeno lo scontrino. Inoltre, il conto non corrispondeva con i prezzi riportati da loro (ognuno di noi aveva il prezzo della sua consumazione, per poi tornarli al ragazzo che aveva pagato per tutti). Il gelato era buono, ma dovrebbero dare una rinfrescata al personale veramente maleducato. Quando c’è un personale così scortese ne risente l’immagine del locale. Spero vivamente che tutti coloro che ci lavoravano ad agosto adesso siano a casa, a trattare con sufficienza le persone frustrate come loro. 2 stelle solo per il gelato, allora avrei dato -12."
