If you're visiting the Valley of the Temples, go here for dinner for two reasons: First, the view…read moreof the Temples lit up at night is spectacular from this restaurant, especially as we were seated upstairs by the window! We even got there early and drove and parked at the Temples (the gates are closed) to take photos of them lit up, as this restaurant is a 1 minute drive away. Secondly, the food is fabulous! In fact, this restaurant was one of our favorites while touring Sicily! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, but it wasn't pretentious and we didn't feel like we needed to dress up. All of the dishes are also gorgeous and huge and super delicious. We actually could not finish everything we finished. The wine list is extensive, too and the prices were excellent for the quality of the food. We would definitely go back!

It has a great view of the Valley of the temples and although pricey the portions are rather large, but I think they lose some points when it comes to the actual food. It's not so much that the quality wasn't up to par, it's just the flavor combination of the dishes fell short. We started off with the marinated beef which was pretty good, probably the better of the three we got. The two pastas we had, one with colatura di amici and the other with octopus ragout, both were just meh. The pasta with colatura had a creamy sauce, I expected it to be more like aglio e olio, and the fish eggs added crunch but I think dried up the sauce too much. The pasta with the octopus ragout was just bland.

One of our tour guides saw Sal8 bookmarked on my Google map when he was making other recommendations for us and he said "oh, that's a good place!" I would say our meals were overall decent. My appetizer was phenomenal, and the best part of the meal for me. (It was some sort of grilled vegetable dish). My ravioli were a bit bland... was not tasting any of the sage or brown butter coming through. The service and ambiance were lovely, and we were not disappointed that we made a visit.

The floor is wide wooden planks, and while the chairs and tables are not fancy, and the napkins are paper, our table had a proper linen tablecloth. Other tables included couples having meals and wine, six Italian women having only coffee, and another family of six eating. There is also a counter in the restaurant selling snacks, drinks, and popsicles, that was quiet but must do a brisk trade when the beach is busy. The service was efficient, and English-speaking, yet rewarded our attempts to speak Italian with smiles and encouragement. Our food arrived quickly, The food ----------- The whole fish of the day was very fresh and perfectly grilled (Sicilian-style, with a little char at tail and fins), served with wedges of fresh lime. The seafood salad was also quite good--pleasing but not surprising for a Sicilian seaside eatery. Spaghetti carbonara and pomodoro were both good (plenty of bacon in the carbonara), and the portions were generous but not excessive. The Sicilian salad was a tasty umami bomb of capers, sardines, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes over potatoes. Serving suggestion: cut the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller bits to better mix their salty sweetness into the mix. The pistachio ice cream was excellent, with ground pistachio sprinkled over the plate, and the other desserts we tried were also good. Beverages ----------- Espresso and cappuccino were below average for Sicily, and might disappoint coffee nerds, but got the job done. We did not opt for wine, but there were several decent-looking bottles for well under 20 euro, and I identified wine by the glass for 3. All-in-all ----------- I would eat here again in a heartbeat if I were walking to the Turkish steps.

We had a four course meal and the best ever red wine that I've had so far in our two week stay in Sicily. However, please note you wine snobs, I am not a wine connoisseur. All I care about is this red wine did not bother my temperamental stomach. It went down so smoothly that my friend Laura and I finished two bottles in a space of two hours. I think the sulfites were low and the wine was not pasteurized so overall, it was tummy friendly. The four course meal that we had was also to die for!!! I accidentally poured some of the wine into my olive tapenade dip, and dare I say that it actually elevated it. I dipped more than my share of crusty bread. Additionally, for this chicken averse Yelper, their roast chicken was the best that I've had in decades. It was moist , flavorful and did not have that horrible chicken y scent that accompanies GMO, overly growth hormone injected chicken served all over the world. It tasted like real to goodness chicken. The almond butter dessert was also very very delicious. It was so delicious that my friend Laura was literally licking her plate.
