The first time was for a lunch, where the salad (salmon, pineapple, and avocado) stood out. I went with a group of friends for dinner a few days later and all the food was great. I strongly suggest you go and try it out. If you're going for dinner, I would make a reservation as there isn't a lot of seating. This tiny little place is really a gem.

Their multiple tasting rooms and large variety of choices demonstrate how big they are, but still we are glad we made the trip to visit them while in Sicily. We had an awesome experience touring their beautiful gardens and tasting almost 7 different wines alongside a marvelous charcuterie platter. The other guests there were very fun to chat with and spend a few hours learning about how the volcanic Sicilian soil adds a unique character to grapes growing here and creates wines quite different from those on mainland Italy. It's a great experience and I highly recommend it! When going, DO NOT RELY ON GOOGLE MAPS to get to this location! Follow THEIR specific directions and look for the roadside signs.It's easy to find if you follow the directions on their website. If you follow google maps, you will most likely get lost in a field! Planeta knows this may happen - their super helpful team speaks English and can guide you to their front door. DON'T hesitate to call them!! Also, don't just show up here; you need reserve a tasting or tour experience. They're often very busy and their slate for a day may get too full to accommodate walk-ups. It's a great experience but be sure you're all booked.

A truly beautiful family owned winery. Had a great tour with an extremely knowledgeable tour guide,…read moreAntonio. The tour and tasting consisted for four wines. First we tasted and talked about the four wines. Then we tasted the wines again with food pairings. After a bit more drinking and snacking we took a tour of the winery and cellar. Then in the setting sunlight we had an olive oil tasting with more wine. The cost was 35 euros. Totally worth it in my opinion. Also they rotate the wines they offer for the tasting so you could go back and have multiple experience with different wine.

The Ortigia Street market is really great place to explore when you are in sircacuse, the markets…read moreare nice and authentic with a stream of locals snapping up the best and freshest produce and fish you can buy. Also if the weather is amazing this is the perfect place to stop by for picnic items on the way to the beach. Be aware that prices for the same item can change significantly, I paid €5 for almonds in a pretty package while I saw almonds in a plain package at a different store for €2.50 so maybe have a bit of a look around before buying... I got some amazing fresh strawberries for just €1.75 which was pretty reasonable for a market snack. But sadly I didn't find any mandarins but I did see plenty of blood oranges. There are also plenty of restaurants around the markets if you are wanting a decent meal. If you are unsure where to buy from get there early and follow the locals. Any store that sells out early is usually the one with the best stuff... The markets sell everything you could imagine... * fruit & vegetables * spices and herbs * flowers * fresh fish * meat * cheese * fresh olives * tourist junk * clothes * miscellaneous items
