About us

  • A fantastic little place, just far enough out of the city centre to feel secluded from the tourist crowds. The small menu is filled with great produce and takes some influence from the local area (great focaccia, mortadella on a plate to start) while featuring real Sicilian food. Service is excellent; very accommodating, friendly, with wait staff obviously passionate about the food they are serving - something that doesn't happen often. The Vegetarian lasagne was carefully made by a skilled chef, and tasted amazing. Beef tartare was simple but showcased the beef very well. Also, the best cannoli you will eat, with fresh Sicilian ricotta!

    It is confirmed as an excellent restaurant, with special and well-finished dishes. Excellent welcome and kindness of the staff. We had dinner in the back courtyard, really poetic and luckily it was a cool evening. Delicious beef carpaccio with vegetables, exquisite Sicilian beef rolls, clamari, parmesan .... top! Dulcis in fundo... cannolini cake to celebrate a birthday: a great idea and the cannoli are delicious

  • The steps are too high and the cannuoli aio taste it without the outer part of the chocolate, i.e. white. The meatballs and cheeses I chose were very good. My sister is our guest friend liked the baked pasta and other appetizer they chose. Who is disabled however for those very high steps they cannot go there they should lower the steps or put a passage for the disabled.

    Very lovely place a little outside of mid-Bologna. Super friendly and helpful staff and a Sicilian menu that is quite different from all the other menus in traditional Italian eateries in town. Even their wines and liquors were a bit different, and we really enjoyed it. Also it seemed like a great local place without a lot of tourists. We would definitely visit again. Vegetarian options: There were a few vegetarian options on the menu, but their main thing was definitely fish.
