La Terrazza degli Dei — Restaurant in Agrigento

Five stars for service does not even begin to describe the staff at La Terrazza degli Dei. After two nights at the hotel, my wife and I genuinely looked forward to seeing the staff at meals.

At breakfast, Manuela, who gallantly saved us from a bee, was later seen holding someone's baby so they could finish their meal. Their Sicilian hospitality and warmth are truly extraordinary. When I asked, "Am I ordering too much?" she replied, "You're on vacation in Sicily - enjoy," and we really did.

One evening, our waiter noticed we hadn’t eaten our all of our raw seafood which was delicious but admittedly as Americans we were novices eating some of the items raw. So, the server offered to grill it for us instead and it was heavenly.

On our first night, Giovanni, with his remarkable ability to turn a barbecue with strangers into the most memorable night of our trip, was exceptional. The food, the wine, and delighting in a table of intelligent people from all over the world left us wanting more. These people became our friends for our stay.

We normally love exploring towns and sightseeing, but we found ourselves loving the hotel restaurant so much that we didn’t want to leave. You will not find a better meal in Sicily, nor a kinder, more...

Dining at La Terrazza degli Dei is a sensorial experience that takes you to an immersive journey.

Their pianist is a phenomenal talent and will delight your dinner with a consistently outstanding performance.

Their selection of fresh fish is of the highest quality, we found the spaghetti with clams (spaghetti alle vongole) to be the best we have ever eaten anywhere in the world. Growing up in Italy, I know what I'm talking about.

Their menu diversity will satisfy every preference or diet profile, the sky is the limit and the choice is yours to combine flavors. Their waiters are incredibly elegant and helpful and will be glad to assist you during your entire dining experience.

Last but not least, all of this in a high end classy atmosphere as you are sitting right in front of the legendary temples, that provide a view like no other.

We went for lunch and dinner - both were beyond fantastic and highly curated experiences. We look forward to seeing la Terrazza degli Dei being a Michelin star rated restaurant. It is well beyond a restaurant, it is a unique life experience - whether you are with your loved one for a romantic evening or with your...

저희는 사전에 예약하고 정시에 도착했으며, 두 사람이 220유로를 지불했으나 두달간의 이탈리아 여행 중 가장 실망스러운 식사를 했습니다.

입구에서 맞아주신 여성분을 제외하면, 전반적으로 직원들은 무성의하고 불친절했습니다. 물이 떨어져도 아무도 채워주지 않아 식사 도중 저희가 직접 자리에서 일어나 물을 따라야 했습니다. 특히 가장 나이가 많아 보이던 남성 직원의 서비스는 충격적이었습니다. 기존 접시를 치우지도 않고 다른 접시로 기존 접시를 밀어내며 음식을 내려놓아 포크가 떨어졌고, 식기를 대충 접시에 부딪치며 놓는 등 기본적인 매너조차 지키지 않았습니다.

가장 황당했던 건 식사 '도중' 저희 테이블과 신전 사이에 키 큰 난로를 설치해버린 일이었습니다. 전혀 양해도 구하지 않았고, 다른 직원에게 치워달라고 요청했지만, 끝내 아무도 치우지 않았습니다. ‘신전 뷰’를 기대하고 찾아간 자리에서 캠프파이어만 보고 온 셈입니다. 이 직원이 원래 그런 사람인지, 아니면 저희에게만 그런 건지는 모르겠습니다. 하지만 저희는 명백히 차별을 받는 듯한 기분이 들어 매우 불쾌했습니다.

시칠리아에는 친절하고 음식도 훌륭한 식당이 정말 많습니다. 저희 이후로 누구도 이런 경험을 하지 않으시길 바랍니다.

This was by far the worst dining experience during our two-month trip across Italy. We had a reservation, arrived on time, paid over €200 for two people, and behaved respectfully throughout. Given that this restaurant is known for its “temple view” and is part of a luxury hotel, our expectations were high—but it failed in every way.

Except for the woman who greeted us at the entrance, the waitstaff were indifferent and unfriendly. No one offered to refill our water, and we had to get up and do it ourselves. The oldest male server was especially unprofessional—he shoved existing plates across the table with another plate, causing utensils to fall. He also carelessly dropped cutlery onto plates and failed to set the table properly.

Most shocking of all, a large heater was placed directly between our table and the temple view during the meal, completely blocking the scenery. No one asked for our permission, and even though we asked another staff member to move it, it remained there until we left.

I don’t know if this server behaves this way with all guests or just with us, but it was deeply disrespectful either way. The way we were treated made us feel like we were being discriminated against, which was deeply upsetting.

There are plenty of kind, delicious, and welcoming restaurants in Sicily. I hope no one else has to go through what...
