Ordered dishes that included fried zucchini, eggplant, ravioli, and specialty pastas which were all very good.

If you're in Ragusa and want pasta with a side of history, this is the move.

It's as if you're having dinner at the owner's house. Everything tastes like home made recipes, not food optimized for serving in a restaurant. This place is a great value. Carafes of inexpensive house wine flow freely. The bread is very good. We sampled a wide variety of dishes including the mixed salad, grilled vegetables, ragu Bolognese, cacio e pepe, rigatoni with pesto, veal Pizzaioa, pistachio encrusted chicken, grilled sausage and potatoes. The consensus favorite was the mozzarella with cherry tomatoes- the quality of ingredients shone. A moderately priced restaurant that punches above it's weight!

So, on arrival, there were no outside seats available. The place was very busy. We were quickly seated inside but, then we were ignored for an unusually long time, even for Italy. No apologies were provided. After we finally received service our experience greatly improved. We asked about the rose house wine and were graciously provided a sample by or friendly server. Then we ordered additional wine and our meals. My wife ordered the chicken stew which turned out to be an excellent homemade olive infused slowly cooked dish with carrots and potatoes. I ordered slow cooked meatballs in Pomodoro Sauce which was served with a bit of light cream on top, also excellent. But the best part of the meal were the small crusty hot rolls provided to not miss eating ALL the wonderful sauces of our dishes. So, the food was a resounding 5 but, we had to rate the restaurant a 4 overall due to the initial experience. That said, we would gladly return but will make reservations first. We highly recommend it.

Offering a menu in English as well, this ensures that you will not have an issue ordering if the Italian language is not there yet. I opted for the local spaghetti with anchovy, lemon, and cheese; and it was what you would expect for a great home cooked meal. Do call in advance for a reservation as they can fill up quickly during a nightly service.

Our waiter spoke very good English and was really knowledgeable about the menu. I'm quite a wine snob but am pretty dumb when it comes to Sicilian wines. I asked him for a recommendation based on my wife's steak order. In my home town Miami thats a license to steal as the most expensive wine would end up on your bill. Instead he brought a wine from the lower price tier, local and amazingly complex. The food is priced the same. With all pastas 12 and secondi (meat and fish) 15. We ordered the cáprese and it was waaay too much. 5 perfect balls of buffalo mozerrella with fresh tomatoes and basil. Very nice. We then had the entrecôte with a side of excellent fries and the pasta with sea urchin. Both dishes, Especially the pasta i would come back for. All in all an excellent dining experience with good food, service and ambiance.
