Bar Ristorante Scirocco — Restaurant in Favignana

Having seeing all the recent reviews, we divided to check the place out. Asked for a menu and they said they don’t have one, we ended up talking to the waiter and deciding to go here with the idea of great food which was described as fish and pasta. Still no prices (we thought how much can it be compared to the restaurant before) We sat and ordered a lovely wine (kike) from Marsala being told it was €20 which for me as a wine drinker was a pretty good price for a local wine. We ended up ordering the squid ink pasta that had what was described as calamar 🦑 in it. ( it tasted great but not much squid in this dish) the other we had was the fish soup… described and soup with different kinds of fish and pasta… there was little to no fish and tasted like tomato soup. (Don’t get me wrong it was still good but expensive for what it was) now the waiter was fantastic and came with bruschetta to start us on the house and a lovely dessert with some sweet wine something small to share. To be honest I was thinking hard about this review because the waiter was great the food was good and the wine very good. The biggest let down was a fight that broke out nearing the end of our dinner (the chef and some guy from outside started screaming at each other, a child crying a mother screaming at the chef) it was a lot to witness while trying to have a quiet dinner on a seemingly peaceful island. Never in my life or travelling have I ever witnessed something like this happen in a restaurant.. or any establishment to be honest. Everything was strange after this and when we got the bill we were shocked at the price for the food and differently in the price of the wine but honestly just wanted to get out of there after it all. Pasta dish (18€) “fish” soup (18€) wine (25€). For this and everything that happened is why the review Is much lower than I Originally thought...

Abbiamo scoperto quasi per caso, grazie a due genovesi alla nutella , questo posto. Vorrei partire dicendo a tutti che le persone che ci lavorano sono speciali, a partire dal proprietario Marco, che ama il suo lavoro, e si vede, ma soprattutto mette passione in tutti i piatti che serve, tutto quello che abbiamo mangiato é stato fatto da lui e vi assicuro che si sente la passione di un uomo che quando lavora ci mette tutto il suo amore in quello che fa. Questa passione si riflette anche sul personale, baristi gentilissimi e scherzosi, sempre pronti ad accogliere il cliente e a farlo sentire a proprio agio, anche con qualche battuta divertente. Del cibo che dire, SPAZIALE, tant’é che ci siamo portati dietro alcune paste del bar che ci mangeremo prima di partire. Consiglio a tutti di andare a conoscere il Bar Scirocco,vi sentirete a casa.

Ps: Marco fa un servizio la sera dove vi fa mangiare pescato del giorno e vi fa anche scegliere come volete che vi sia cucinato, noi abbiamo provato la ricetta che a quanto ho capito é una tradizione di famiglia, e vi assicuro che é una squisitezza. Altro ps: ci ha dato 2 calamite fatte a mano che io e la mia fidanzata porteremo nel cuore.

Torneremo...

Very likely the worst place I‘ve eaten in many years. Unedable pasta dish, arrogant service, and with 20 € totally overpriced even if the food had been great. I seriously cannot understand how this place gets such a high ranking, because from what I‘ve experienced, it‘s hard to imagine that this was a...
