Then in addition, the prosciutto with melon, also the carbonara which had thicker noodles. I dont know that I necessarily care for that, but it was yummy, and so flavorful. I loved it. The service was very direct slightly pretentious in a feel good way. So fun and such a good way to end your night in Italy.

Only gripe is they seem to charge a premium for the location. I guess this must be a resort town or something, but it was nearly double the price for the same dishes you could get in Palermo. Quality food and wine though, even at the price it is worth checking out.

Luckily my wife found Biitta Ristro in Google and we were very happy she did. First, we didn't have reservations but were accommodated none less. Being led upstairs after the doors opened we found a place that must feel great in the shoulder seasons. We opted for the patio with a cozy feel, charming light, and a 'stage' set of balconies just waiting for participants. As Americans, we can get through antipasti and primi, but seconds is barely possible. We get full rather quickly and wish that didn't occur tonight. Our antipasti of grilled pulpo was AMAZING! Served with potatoes and a caponata. Don't think twice, just get it. The octopus was sooo tender, and the charring was very tasty. I'll stop there.... get there any enjoy! Oh, and the service? Excellent! We felt like we were the only customers, even thou the place was filled. Last... they brew their own beer... the pale ale was excellent!

They wouldn't split us up into two tables. The host was not kind, and the chef also said our party was too big. We are American in Sicily, and all we wanted was some pasta. We would recommend that you don't eat at this restaurant if you have more than 4 people with you.

We arrived a little early and they were gracious enough to let us come in. From start to finish it was impeccable. They even made an off menu dish for my mom.

Highly recommend if you find yourself in beautiful Bagheria!

We chose the "Unexpected" menu featuring 7 courses of classic Sicilian food reimagined by Chef Lo Popo. But those 7 courses were more like 10 if you count the Amuse Bouche, the pre-Dessert and the post-Dessert courses. If you ever find yourself in the Palermo area, I urge you to experience iPupi. In addition, they are happy to arrange transportation to and from your hotel, of which we were happy to take advantage. We were picked up at 8pm, spent 3-1/2 hours dining there, and were back at our hotel in Palermo by 12:30am. It was an experience we will never forget.

The sandwich here is served slightly different than other locations as the meat is sliced very thin and its topped with shredded cheese. At first we were a little nervous about trying the sandwich but after the first bite i was pleasantly surprised that the cheese really cut organ taste of the spleen. In addition the thinly sliced meat gave it a good balance between the meat to fat ratio. I know a lot of people in our food group were apprehensive about trying it but to be honest my wife and I are pretty open to all types of food and our motto is that will always try something once.

The First Restaurant Experience in Sicily Served Food & Some "Godfather History"…read more I ate at the main branch of restaurant that is known for being one of the first and, for many years, an establishment that stood up against the Mafia and Cosa Nostra. Antica Focacceria's two owners stood against the Mob by refusing to pay the 'pizzu', or protection money. According to Michelin Star Chef #giorgiolocatelli , the consequence is even in recent years, the owners were in exile. Now settled in a confidential place in mainland Italy, they fortuitously and successfully managed the expansion of this Sicilian restaurant all over Italy. Proudly supportive, I sat at the very first branch of the restaurant, the gutsy one that courageously said no to mob bullying, the original Antica Focacceria San Francesco . And I went twice, too.
