Quattro Archi Di Grasso Rosario — Restaurant in Milo

If I was to rate this place for food only it would have easily been 3/5, but I really hate stealing. The ravioli was tasty I was told, even though the portion was small, altogether 6 small to medium pieces, sauce was good. My pizza was pretty well baked, dough little tough, hard to cut, spinach in large chunks, smaller bits of sausage, mozzarella ok. Unfortunately the spinach likely released a lot of water so it was soggy and drowning in liquid sitting on top of the pizza and altogether the meal lacked flavor, which surprised me to be honest as all ingredience were local.

But the real problem though is that we got robbed. (Even though we explicitly tried to avoid it)

Before ordering we asked for price of everything and even took photos of menus to be able to prove what was the price before we ordered. (This is exactly why I like to keep one menu at the table until we pay or at least snap a photo for later reference, I have been to places where they showed me a menu with different prices when it was time to pay...) Here they don't have a drink menu, so if you want a wine by glass, beer or water you will not see the prices anywhere. Always be aware at places like this! So we asked, yes it's uncomfortable but we did it, We were informed that the water is "probably 2 or 2.50" which was later on clarified as 3EUR and glass of red was to be 5 EUR, My pizza says 8EUR in the menu so I didn't ask. We were charged 6 for the wine (definitely not 200ml) and 9EUR for pizza.

Now I don't really care about 2EUR difference, we would have tipped a lot more than that, but I do care about being taken advantage of and/or lied to.

I wonder how much we would have been charged for the sparkling water if we didn't ask for the price before.

Read the other reviews, I did try to protect myself and still failed.... getting charged 24 for 2 beers for example.

Oh and as someone else mentioned, the only person speaking English is one member of staff. She was really friendly and nice, so I don't want this review to reflect on her negatively. She was great, especially compared to the other people...

We had a very strange experience here. We were there on a busy Sunday evening but received a warm welcome from the manager/owner. It had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and our waitress, Maria was very attentive and helpful. The wine was nice and the menu looked delicious. The first issue arose when we ordered our starters. I was told there weren't any tomatoes for my starter, but not until the rest of our table were being served theirs. (Very strange for a restaurant to run out of tomatoes). Lovely Maria suggested an alternative which I excepted. It arrived quite a long time after everyone else's and I was surprised to receive an extremely sweet yogurt honey and grape dish. It was very nice, but I felt like I was eating my dessert before the main dish! Then because mine arrived late and one of our party waited for me before eating, two of us were still eating when a waiter (not Maria) brought our main courses out. Without a word he dumped our plates on the table while we were still eating the starter! He didn't clear the table or bring fresh cutlery. Lovely Maria noticed that we weren't happy and apologised but the atmosphere with the rest of the staff changed immediately to decidedly cool. Added to that, the main dishes were all underwhelming. Relatively high prices for quite ordinary food. Mine was basically a beef stew with mashed potatoes, but without vegetables or any effort at presentation. This was the worst experience of our two weeks holiday and on my husband's 60th birthday...

Stepping into this restaurant for Sunday lunch, I could smell the wood from the meat being grilled, and the hustle and bustle of an old school countryside restaurant feeding families with serious food made with care. It took me back to childhood!

Owner Saro is a committed Slow Food enthusiast and the menu is a genuine showcase of what the movement stands for. It showcases prime local and regional ingredient, as well as seasonal treasures like the Etna Porcini mushrooms and the Trunzo di Aci, a local vegetable belonging to the cabbage family. We were spoiled for choice with the menu, and would happily have tried everything. We had the arancini and caponata for starters, then tagliatelle with rabbit and pistachio sauce, and tagliatelle with Porcini mushrooms. I had donkey steak as the Secondo! It was a wonderful experience of a heritage Sicilian meat. The desserts were also excellent, as was the coffee and Etna sparkling wine.

It made me happy and proud to see that there are still traditional restaurants like...
