    You must visit this restaurant. Impeccable in every aspect. While not inexpensive, the quality, the variety, the creativity and the service would all warrant a much higher price point. You wil not regret coming here.

    Beautiful design and a surprising find in Milazzo. Attentive and knowledgeable staff that connect with us in both English and Italian, the chef even came out to say a not of thanks! Every course was well timed, beautifully plated and delicious. We decided to order specific plates a la carte as I have dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating and helpful to make recommendations highlighting their style. Wine assistance was also well paired. Highly recommend for a top dining experience at a very reasonable price point for the quality.

    Absolutely lovely setting! Staff were exceedingly accommodating. Sicilian food and wine - spectacular. We had both a welcome taster and a lovely biscuit, chocolate and liquer for dessert compliments of the chef. We highly recommend!!!

    Without any hesitation I can mention “Balìce” as the best restaurant in Milazzo. Traditional recipes and innovative perspectives melts together in an unique culinary experience. I strongly recommend this restaurant!

    Great food, service and lovely ambiance. Deserving of a star :), though I assume it will come soon. Absolutely try the calamari from the bbq, the sauce is amazing.

    The food tasting was well worth it and the waiting staff was very kind and on it. So many different unique plates making an incredible experience. The desert chocolate was some of the best we’ve ever had.

    This is a very beautiful restaurant with great service and a friendly staff that provide what should be a most enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, the chef provides an array of exoticly presented dishes that one can only describe as "strange". The overly complex flavor profiles either clash or have one harsh ingredient that completely overpowers the flavors that ashould be the stars. The chef is clearly trying to be different, but has ventured much too far out of the lanes that most folks travel.

    The service was nice but the foods were not so satisfying.They were salty and not so fresh. Also,they almost don't have any fresh vegetables and there is little choice for the meat.I don't enjoy the fishes here,either.Too much sauce for the seafoods so i couldn't enjoy the original flavors of them. According to the quantity and quality ,it's a bit expensive to eat here.

    Our server was very nice and spoke English quite well. The sommelier, spoke excellent English and was very helpful and informative. We ate off the a la carte menu. Very reasonably priced. Excellent wine list and by the glass selections.

    Found this place by change on tripadvisor and was absolutely amazed by the quality of food one can find in Milazzo. Tried the 5 course menu and each single bit and bite was delicious. The service was super attentive and knowledgable. Really 10 out of 10
