We tried to book table online over their website - first of all, info they are taking are excessive (they don’t need my birthday or zip code for booking), but ok… You get WhatsApp msg that booking was done which is very nice but then you need to wait for confirmation if there is space available - which was not the case for us. We book for 6.30 for dinner inside but the answer we got was: “ Ciao, date le numerose richieste, al momento non è più possibile effettuare ulteriori prenotazioni per la data da richiesta. ☹️

Prova per un'altra data. Grazie 🙏 ❤️

Sikulo Umori & Sapori

..regardless, we passed by at 6.30 to try our luck, and guess what - there were seats available, inside and on the terrace. lol. However - we were not able to make an order till 7pm, as the kitchen was not open. No problem, we sat outside and had few drinks. We couldn’t understand why everyone around us had plates with food while the kitchen was not open, but ok… no one was able to explain as well.

We got bowl with chips, peanuts and olives to snack with our drinks while waiting for kitchen to open. Olives were great, meaty, tasty. Yum. But that was it. At approx 7.10 we asked if kitchen opened, and was finally able to order anything but pizza as for pizza the kitchen was closed for another half an hour. Ok, no problem for us. We ordered calamari, and we will order pizza when we finish.

Calamari came looking good. Portion size like fine dining instead of pizzeria, but ok… problem is when you start eating. Calamari were like rubber. Chewy like a gum. Unbelievable. But ok… it’s not easy to make good calamari.

We went to the bar to order for pizza, as again - no one was coming to see us.

We ordered their version of Margarita - what could go wrong with Margarita, right?

Firstly, it took another half an hour to make this pizza. Then, you can clearly see how the pizza is made. One chef is making the dough while the other is adding the ingredients. But in our case, the was the waiter. Adding the ingredients after the pizza was made, with his bare hands… bon appetito. Dough was bit chewy as well, but edible. Pizza nothing special. I ate better pizza in the bakery in north of the Italy… Shame. Truly a shame. Waste of time and money.

The reason I am giving a two star instead of one is the waitress. One amongst the guys working there. She was professional from start to the end. Sorry she is working in such an unorganized place.
