A very disappointing experience. We both ordered the tuna steak on a "bed of vegetables with potatoes" at 21 euros each. One dish arrived - the fish was severely overcooked (almost black on one side). We asked where the other dish was. This prompted the arrival of an empty plate followed just two minutes later by another tuna steak, which must have been in the pan for less than ten seconds. It was completely raw ( I had not ordered sushi). On both dishes the "bed of vegetables" was just a few leaves of lamb's lettuce and the potatoes consisted of four thin slices. Both dishes were absolutely cold. When we were asked if everything was okay, I replied that the meal was "very poor". The waitress shrugged, communicated this to her colleague who also shrugged. The restaurant's setting is idyllic but in our experience both the food and the service leave a great deal to be desired.

I used to live in Aci Trezza so I had never encountered any rudeness by anyone working in any restaurant, and I speak Italian so not sure what the issue was but i would walk...
Read moreNice ambiance but be careful what you order. Avoid the calzone at all costs. It’s just a brick of mozzarella, and not in a good way. Two of us ordered it and we both left in great pain after eating only half. The spaghetti alle vongole was just passable. The house white wine was likewise not great. The fried mixed seafood was pretty good, as were the grilled vegetables. The penne alla norma was the best dish we tried: al dente if quite salty (but I’m a salt fiend and like that). Other people’s pizzas...
