It was a lovely night so we decided to sit outside. This turned out to be a smart decision because there were three local singers who were performing for the tables and they were really very very good. The tuna appetizer and the swordfish there was amazing. As were the pastas we tried. The only negative was the calamari appetizer which was fried and similar to what you'd get in a US chain restaurant. Otherwise everything including the wine recommend by the server was excellent.

Oh my goodness. This place was amazing…read more I'm not sure where to start, so let's start with the view. The pictures uploaded by others show the view from the restaurant, and it doesn't matter where you're seated--floor to ceiling glass windows give diners an unobstructed view of the shimmering Mediterranean sea. (I'll try to upload a photo as well.) I was there for lunch in August with a few friends (most of whom were locals). We ordered a number of seafood appetizers to share, including raw shrimp and other fish. Presentation was beautiful, and everything was fresh. For the main course, I had spaghetti with sea urchin. Simple, right? Yes, simple done right. The pasta was cooked al dente and smoothly mixed with the sea urchin. Every bite delivered a heady mix of perfectly cooked pasta flavored with the slight brininess from the sea urchin. I finished off my plate fast and looked hopefully at my friends' plates, hoping they weren't able to finish theirs so I could have more. Alas, they seemed to like the pasta just as much as I did as their plates were empty as well. A few others ordered a variety of cooked seafood, including swordfish. Their orders were presented on a heated tile of pink Himalyan salt, which I found fascinating. Yes, I'm easily impressed. :D I tried a bit of swordfish, and though I'm typically not a fan of this particular fish, it was amazing. We finished off our meal with some espressos (passed on dessert as we were all so full). Amazing lunch. The price was more than reasonable too, considering the breathtaking view, the warm and friendly service, and the quality and freshness of the food.

The pistachio sauce was creamy and the crushed pistachio pieces really added a crunch. I also had the octopus salad and thought the octopus was very fresh and flavourful. Dessert wise, I found the tiramisu to be a tad too liquidy, but the pistachio cheesecake was absolutely delicious.

The Chicken Spot was my absolute favorite place to eat (that wasn't Sicilian food) while in Sicily…read more They have a combination of fried chicken, kebabs, salads and sandwiches. The best thing to get here, in my honest opinion, is a kebab and you can get it anyway that you want. It is so very affordable too. My friends and I had a tradition of going here at least once a week for the best kebabs in town. The meat is traditional schwarma, shaved right off and onto a plate then put into a wrap. There's a choice of lamb or beef. You can then pick any additions from lettuce, tomato, onions, fried zucchini, among others. Don't forget to get a sauce topped on it too. So yummy.

The pizza tasted more like store bought frozen pizza and while the steak was huge and cost more than 30 euro, it was inedible... just a huge piece of meat riddled with tendons and layered in fat that you couldn't even cut through.
