Le Isole — Restaurant in Marsala

I can only think of one word to truly describe this jewel - exquisite! When I think of our many dining experiences in Sicily, this will forever be foremost in my memories. Let's begin with the wine! For white we had the Toratore Etna Bianco with it's strong mineral and ash up-front aroma and pears and apples on the pallet. This was pared with the Tuna tar tar (hand chopped, not ground), the smoked tuna and swordfish and piata di salumi. For red we had my singular favorite Sicilian wine - a 2019 Trancredi by Donnafugata. Rich earthy aromas with notes of plum and black currents. In spite of it's 14% alcohol content, this wine drinks very well. For our main course we had the pasta melanzane, the trancia di tono, pasta with muscles and pistachio and a mixed grill of swordfish, prawn and squid. All delicious!

The chef/owner takes great pride in his craft, using locally sourced, fresh ingredients; you can taste the love in every bite. Our waitress, Christina, was outstanding, we were a party of eight (seven of whom do not speak Italian) and she was very helpful and a lot of fun!

This was a six star experience. 6 appetizers, 8 Secondi, 4 desserts and 4 bottles of wine - €50 each (several bottles of mineral water) cost exactly €500. For an...

The food was disgusting all of my friend got sick after eating there the octopus was tasted horrible after eating one bite I immediately go to the bathroom when at the end we asked the waitress if the food was in the same fridge as the other seafood she jump on us and immediately was able to show as the receipt for seafood what means that a lot of people were thinking the same I can’t say that she was bad because her service was great but at the end we were really disappointed. I don’t recommend eating there if you are looking for something...

Siamo stati per caso in questo locale ma chiaramente non torneremo mai più. Cominciamo nel dire che la zuppa di cozze viene servita in maniera decisamente scarsa ( le cozze costano 3.50€al kg, metterne anche 1kg non credo che fallireste!!), servita con i crostini mignon in stile zuppa invernale! Il mio compagno ha ordinato della carne ( lasciamo stare la dimensione perché indescrivibile in quanto a pochezza!) con contorno di patate ( invisibili). Chiaramente appena seduti avevamo visto il menu’ Carissimo,ma non ci immaginavamo davvero questa pochezza.In sintesi voglio dire che ; questo stile GOURMET non piace a nessuno, perché’ la gente si siede per mangiare non per leccare il piatto e strapagare. Per la precisazione le dico che ce lo possiamo permettere, ma ci vuole un po’ di criterio nel portare poco cibo a prezzi in stile Parigi… L’indomani il mio compagno e’ finito al pronto soccorso per forti crampi allo stomaco e vomito ed è’ stato così per giorni, chiaramente non sappiamo se è’ stata una coincidenza.Al proprietario consiglierei di essere meno permaloso di non minacciarmi per la recensione e di capire meglio quello che si scrive e soprattutto di evitare di accusare in malo modo chi le lascia.Inoltre le stesse sono fatte per aiutare a crescere professionalmente ed anche per aiutare chi vorrebbe recarsi presso...
