Ristorante Pizzeria La Vela — Restaurant in Giardini-Naxos

I would never do it again! 2 hours and 30 minutes waiting for nothing. I ordered an octopus appetizer, which I waited half the time and it came raw and tasteless. I took it back to cook it and it came out even worse, I don't even know how they managed to ruin it more. Meanwhile, my spaghetti with clams finally arrived, which had been pre-cooked. There was no taste in them, just boiled water.... The service is slow. Obviously, the persnolana is not prepared for a full establishment. I'm surprised how there are people who gave this place a 5 star rating, but their seafood is beyond criticism considering we're in Sicily... But they have a good wi fo so i can put...

Very welcoming and attentive staff. Food was very good, seemed very quality ingredients. The spaghetti alla vongole was really good, very tasty and clams were cooked really nicely, not chewy! The grilled fish of the day was delicious and cooked perfectly. The chef brought the dish out and explained the dish before i ate it, nice touch. My partner's pasta alla norma was fantastic, so delicious, and the portion was very generous. The Sicilian wine we ordered was very good and reasonably priced. My partner enjoyed the tiramisu, but wasn't blown away, but the pistacchio semi-freddo was amazing! I would go back...

We travel to Italy and Greece every year and fresh fish is one of the things we always look for when on vacation. The service was friendly and attentive and the fish deliciously prepared and fresh. Salvatore was one of our waiters and he introduced us to the most delicious olive oils. We used the lemon oil on our fish and I put the blood orange oil on my salad which totally elevated the flavors! We ended up buying a few bottles to take home to the US. I would highly recommend at least one meal at La Vela if you're...
