I was brought to the fish display to pick what I wanted, and offered suggestions but I really just wanted what I wanted. I did accept their wine recommendations which was a slightly effervescent white chilled wine (half bottle). The mussels and the spigola (sea bass) were like butter! Soft, delicious, best I've had. The ricotta cake was the perfect ending to my dinner. The entire meal was fabulous and never rushed. I can't thank waitstaff Gianni & Francesco enough for their services. Highly recommended!!!!

From the cruise port, you can either walk here in about 20 minutes or take the round trip shuttle to a nearby bus stop. It is a beautiful and quaint piazza. In the middle of the piazza is a statue of the elephant for which the piazza is known by. Here you will also be able to get a great view and pictures of the Cathedral of Saint Agatha. Most of the shopping, sites and dining are readily accessible from here. From here there is also a great view of Mt. Etna on one roadway and a great view of Porto Girabaldi.

It's hard to miss since a giant obelisk comes rising out of his back with a globe on top. A symbol you will find in tiny scultptures in all the gift shops! Bustling at all hours of day this is the heart of the city. If you sit on edge of the fountain you can enjoy the surrounding architecture like the Palazzo del Municipio (Town Hall), the former Chierici Seminary, the Cathedral and Porta Uzeda the city gate built in 1696 according to my Sicilian guide book. Plenty of gelaterias and Italian "bars" to rest your feet, which means they serve coffee, drinks, gelato, pastries, etc. Not a U.S. "bar". A great photo op and a start to a wonderful walk in a fasninating ancient city. Bring your camera and comfy shoes.
