“ Good place for a quick lunch, which I needed to catch a ferry. I thought the people were friendly and explained well. I was hungry after climbing the mountain. There is a buffet with several choices, including some healthy options with vegetables. Price was 15 EUR for 3 items from the buffet, which I think was fair considering that it’s one of the only places in the entire town that was open on the Sunday when I visited. To find the place, I walked all the way around the corner to the seawall. Thanks! ”
“ We made a booking 2 days out for dinner and got the best table in the restaurant for dinner. It was a set menu, everything was absolutely delicious and the staff were understanding and accommodating with our inability to speak Italian. Great view over the small harbour. Don’t miss the Pistachio semifreddo. ”
“ Authentic food, friendly atmosphere, honest and generally welcoming. A good spot for aperitivo or lunch, or if you just want to have a dessert. The selection of sweets and cakes is great. Definitely try the pistachio cakes! ”
“ Fave place on the island for Spritz and local beer!! ”
“ Great place to wait for boat. A local band started playing there too. Great service. The granita arrived half melted, but maybe that's normal this side of the island? The same thing happened in trapani ”
