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 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.

Come here to have lunch with the locals, and get a really, really, (really) good pizza. (If you're not in the mood, there's a lot of other options - we sat near plenty of pasta eaters if that's what you are in the mood for.) This is the definition of a quick lunch spot, the chairs, tables...super casual. Almost like a cafeteria, but maybe one slight notch above from an ambiance perspective. Not much AC, super hot, who cares. I got a gigantic, ice cold beer to mitigate the heat, and it was a perfect pairing to the pizza. Super simple - sauce, cheese, prosciutto. They even cut it in half for us since we were splitting it. Somehow those three ingredients came together so perfectly that the pizza was almost creamy. That pizza, a 66cl beer, and a huge water - super delicious, we walked out full, and it was only €16. Insanity.

This comprised approximately ten different fish starters which were excellent followed by a second, which was a sea bream baked in a crust of salt. I have to say the sea bream was excellent and was cooked perfectly. The salt crust ensured that the meat stayed juicy. Would definitely recommend for a later dinner - the dining area is in a little courtyard which isn't air conditioned, so best to go late when temperatures are cooler in the summertime.

The item that caught my eye as I walked by was their dish of the day, a seafood caponata. Caponata is a typical Sicilian dish made of chopped eggplants, peppers, onions, tomato paste, olives, capers, and pine nuts, but the unique feature of Scirocco's caponata was that it also contained fried chunks of a local Sicilian fish called capone (incidentally making this a capone caponata!). The eggplant salad was served chilled and had the perfect balance of sweet, acidic, and savory flavors from the combination of the cooked vegetables and tomato paste, but it was the meaty chunks of fish that really brought this caponata over the top!
