Over the past few decades, chef-owner Pietro Sardo has established a reputation as one of Sicily's top chefs. At this fine-dining seafood restaurant, just around the corner from Mazara's train station, he continues to create sensational and often unexpected flavour combinations like citrus-scented lobster or red mullet and ricotta-filled tortellini in a refined, white tablecloth-elegant dining room.
Begin with a heady mix of cotto e crudo (cooked and raw) seafood and end with the chef's justly famous cassata (traditional Sicilian, liqueur-soaked sponge cake with candied fruit and ricotta) and an obligatory glass of sweet Marsala for dessert. Reservations essential.
