Civicododici — Restaurant in Agrigento

Really nice location, in an alley well decorated by the restaurant owners. Maybe the tables are a bit too close one to the other, meaning that we had to hear the no-vax delusions of our neighbors during the whole evening. The food is all in all good. The octopus is really nice and almost perfectly cooked (pay attention with the mayo: it's strong), the caponata maybe slightly too sweet but it's a matter of taste. The busiate with the sicilian pesto too dry, but again it's my taste, maybe it's exactly how they should be and I just picked the wrong dish. Finally, the spaghetti with clams are good: here you really taste the fresh ingredients. The price has been fair and the service...

I re-visited this restaurant in September after my last visit in January. In January, I loved all their dishes and local wine: Grilled Octopus with Potatoes in Caramelized Onion, Pasta with Seafood, and other Pasta.

On my second visit in September, it didn't disappoint me. It maintains a nice quality of food and wine. The grilled octopus was still amazing with potato pure although I liked potatoes in caramelized onion a bit better. The octopus meat was very soft -- I want to learn how to maintain its softness while grilling it. Two pastas we ordered were also properly cooked and sauce was rich in flavors.

I highly recommend...

We are an italian-english couple, we went to this restaurant on a Monday. In summary, their cook has great talent and we can only highly recommend this place.

We had grilled octopus as a starter, then two "primi", pasta with scampi and gamberi rossi from Mazara. The fish was fresh and extremely well cooked. Really good white wine suggested by the hostess to accompany.

The staff was also very courteous.

Overall, a bit more expensive than average but the quality of food certainly...
