A charming taverna set in relaxed Sicilian style. The carpaccio di tonno together with caponata as a first course with the house rosso was very delicious! Next came pasta with sardines, wild fennel, pine nuts and raisins: so good! The service was attentive and gracious, and despite my broken Italian, i was able to get by with the help of the staff's limited english. This taverna has plenty of room outside and indoors to welcome families and larger parties. All in all, it was a wonderful meal paired with warm Italian hospitality. Grazie mille!

The service was slower than we expected but made for a very laid back setting. The staff speak a little English so this was a little bit of a challenge.

Very friendly staff who provided good service - slight language challenge however we got there in the end. We had a starter and a main and both were very good. Table wine was affordable and adequate. Enjoyed our meal.
