It is not very fancy looking but they make some killer Arancini, big and fat, filled with rich homemade ragu. Their gelato is not bad either but the Arancini was so good I had to buy a second one on the way back from the steps. We also got a calzone with ricotta and greens which was very nice. Take that, Scala!

Pretty fast service and great view of the duomo. Might be a bit of a tourist trap. Food is decent…read more Good if you're starting and want a nice view. The arancini was good but could've had more meat inside. The cappuccinos were surprisingly really good, and so was the almond granita. The charcuterie wasn't anything special.

It's open 7-10 and serves drinks, desserts, gelato and an assortment of food. Tried and Aranci for the first time and relay liked it. My wife ordered a ham sandwich fro 2:50 assuming it's was small but it's a full size sandwich (European style just one slice each ham and cheese). We ordered a salad that had eggs, olives and cheese. This was large and very good with only very fresh tasty ingredients. And deal a 6 Euros

Spectacular creperie...I've never seen so many crepe and panino options. Owner was friendly and…read morereally helpful. Menu is in English and Italian. They have plenty of seating outside, but even that fills up because they get so many customers. Got the Nutella and banana crepe and loved it. They have generous portions and, obviously, make everything to order. Thankfully, they have seats and allow you to take your food to the seats outside without paying a cover charge. No, I don't need someone to bring me my food. Thank you for offering fast food in Italy for a change.

This place is amazeballs! Ok, seriously, it's right next to…read more"Montalbano Central" in Scicli, which is a good enough reason to be there. But wait till you get a taste of Marco's (the chef) cooking - it's enough to make you come back repeatedly for that alone! Everything he makes is a *slight* variation on Sicilian classics, but variations that serve to just make those classics oh so much better (yes! it's possible!). We'd have eaten there everyday if we weren't leaving the next day ... BTW Marco (the host, also called Marco!) is a wonderful guy - kind, personable, helpful, just about perfect... The bottom line - this is destination food. If you're in Scicli - go. If you're *not* in Scicli, it's worth it to go there just for the food!

This centrally located bar in the pretty town of Chiaramonte Gulfi is unremarkable inside but has…read moreattractive outside seating areas spread across both sides of the street. I recommend it as a spot for a pre-lunch or pre-dinner aperitivo, as the drinks are good value and served with an abundant selection of snacks. I had a prosecco which cost three euros and glasses of wine were similarly priced. The snack selection with the aperitivo is abundant but not of the highest quality: included were crackers with mayonnaise, crisps and nuts. There were some spicy olives and local focaccia type rolls which were tastier and less artificial. Overall, it's fine for a quick coffee stop or drink during the day, and the service is friendly, if on the slow side.

We were here for lunch in 2016 and loved it. We returned for dinner in September 2022 and had the…read moreworst meal we've had in Sicily. The pumpkin sage ravioli were over saged to the point of inedibility. There is no way that whoever cooked this tasted what they were producing. The pomodoro insalata was a bowl of mediocre cherry tomatoes in a dish. No olive oil or seasonings whatsoever. The Sicilian swordfish was way overcooked and dry. The best items were the bottled water and the frozen French fries. Most of the food was cleared by the bussing staff without comment. No wait staff came by at all to ask how things were. I'm sure they are well aware of the low quality of the food served but no one cares because the clientele are tourists who won't be back. Robert Irvine really needs to do an episode of his show about this place. Run, don't walk, anywhere else.
