The service is very nice, people speak english and the view on the valley with illuminated temples is amazing. The food is very nice and you can ask for a glass of wine. The recommandation I asked for about wine was nice. A great dinner. Thank you to the team

2 out of 5 stars for me! We had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to them. The food was bland and forgettable - nothing stood out or felt worth the price. The one redeeming feature was the incredible view of the Temple of Concordia, which truly is breathtaking. However, the dining room's tables are located next to the windows, and even in late October it was uncomfortably hot. When we mentioned it, the waiter kindly offered to close the blinds, but that would have completely blocked the view — the only thing we were enjoying. So we decided to sweat it out. Service was fine, but not warm or engaging like so many other places we’ve experienced in Sicily. We were in and out within an hour, having paid quite a bit for a bland lunch that left us disappointed. Beautiful view, but not enough to make up for the rest.

My meal of sea bass with potato cream sauce and artichoke was bland and barely room temperature. The artichoke half was dry mostly inedible, the fish flavorless. Our grilled vegetables lacked seasoning. My husband’s meal of tuna tataki was acceptable but nothing special. The service was efficient but lacked a hospitality. I can’t imagine how this restaurant has had the reputation it had in the past based on current performance. My worst meal in Sicily.
Il Re di GirgentiMi spiace che la sua esperienza non abbia soddisfatto le sue aspettative. Non capisco come mai non ci abbia segnalato subito i problemi che ha riscobtrato, avremmo potuto cercare di lasciarla soddisfatto. Lei si chiede come sia possibile che abbiamo questa ottima reputazione. Lo chieda alle cebtrinaia di oersone che giornalmente ci vengono a trovare a vanno via felici con un ricordo meraviglioso del nostro ristorante. Grazie comunque per esserci venuto a trovare.

Service was not great. Prices were a bit higher than what has been offered. I do not think I would come back.

It was fine on service and pricing but the entrees fell short on flavor. Freshness of the fish was there but not too memorable.

I suspect one of the main reasons people book this restaurant is the hope for a view of the temples lit up at night. Very few tables and guests will have this option so then to the food. The chef is clearly trying to make upscale dishes. Our meal was good, but not outstanding, nor a great value for the prices charged.

Fabulous views, great table outside with view of the temples. Great food, although felt service was a little rushed and staff a little unwelcoming compared to other places we have visited. Car park is challenging unless you arrive in time to get a space facing the road.

We were disappointed in the quality of the food. After ordering the food come to us in several minutes. A bad sign. The crunchy black cod dish was very dry, obviously just warmed up and not cooked fresh.
Il Re di Girgentie se siamo lenti c’è un problema. se siamo veloci c’è un problema. se il pesce è umido dite che è troppo ‘fishy’. se è cotto il giusto è ‘overcoocked’. Prima o poi riusciremo a trovare la quadra per voi palati sopraffini. Vi vogliamo bene, sempre e comunque ❤️

4.0
First, The view is particular especially during sunset . But that is probably the only positive experience. Service is inattentive and unprofessional. The staff not interesting to recommend any thing about the menu as if they are working at Day one. Lack of smile all the time. The wine was served unprofessionally. But , when compared to food , all these seems forgivable. Starter: the raw seafood( tuna and red prawn was ok , but the sauce and pudding seems no logic in the matching . Pasta dish are the only acceptable one. The second plate were really disastrous. Tuna tatami was overcooked without moist . COD is tasteless and very chewy. the rack of lamb was really terrible , very unprofessionally prepared like boiling in water for an hour, 100 percent overcook and non tender very doubtful quality meat , sauce was awkward . Well , the aqua and wine were ok , at least. The worst dinning experience in Italy or in my decades of travelling!

We were visiting the historic Valley of the Temples and looked for a dinner reservation. Il Re di Girgenti (the king) was highly recommended and we were lucky enough to reserve a table. We were seated overlooking the temples, which was magic, as was the staff, service, food, wine, ambience and view. The setting will never be forgotten but the meal and evening, in its entirety, was equally memorable. The service was seamless, and made for an outstanding experience. Sadly we will be unlikely to return to Il Re di Grigenti. We do have fantastic memories and can only recommend it highly and hope you enjoy a similar experience.
