The sharing starter menu is amazing as there are 14 small plates to try. Best enjoyed with a bigger group as there is a generous amount of food. Arrive hungry.

Great authentic experience of real sicilian food for a really good price. We booked a day in advance for 10 people. Got a long table and great service, we chose the set menu for 45€ all included. You recive huge amount of food and prepare to bring some back in take away bag! Loved the lamb, ricotta ravioli and the meatballs.

Perhaps our favourite meal in all of Sicily. The food was exceptional and it kept coming in amazing quantities. The atmosphere was warm and hospitable. The staff were a wonderful mix of gracious and professional, but with a great amount of joy, too!

Getting to this restaurant is an adventure. The roads are definitely not the best. But, the old hunting lodge is in an amazing location with beautiful views. Probably the best Sicilian restaurant that I have ever eaten at. Now for the food, this is the true gem with outstanding variety and so very fresh. The appetizer had 18- 20 different items and everything is so fresh and all homemade. The pasta is all homemade. We did not have enough room for the meats which looked amazing. I would highly recommend this place to eat!! I will be back for next year.

This place is amazing! We showed up without a reservation, was told the place was fully booked, only for the owner to set us up a table and immediately seat us. We ordered the pre-fixe menu, and for 45€ per person it was well worth it! There were at least 12 antipasto dishes, three pasta dishes, two meat dishes, fruit, dessert and a digestif. Absolutely worth every cent, go out of your way to eat here

The best food experience I've had living in Sicily thus far! Everything was amazing. It's far out but find way to get there. The prices are also outstanding for the quality. Steak for 10 euros!
