Amazing atmosphere, service, wine list and, specially, the food. Pretty inventive dishes, tasty and beautifuly presented. Will be back for sure when in Sicily again. (The dessert is also great)

Despite the visually striking dishes and the promise of avant-garde fresh seafood, pretty much every dish’s flavour (on our visit) was pretty lacklustre and tasted flat. To make things worse, we were met with a €260 bill for two. I know the Italian kitchen is traditionally proud of its produce and so there’s a reluctance to go bold or big on condiments and garnish, but seafood, especially crudos, do need a bit of a kick and some sharpness.

The Leche de Tigre for the Ceviche needs an immediate open heat surgery - where the heck is the acid in the equation?!

The Moray Eel karaage was perfectly cooked and breaded, but mayo and fried balls can’t be the star of the show, surely?!

The Wellington is a novel preparation, but again, tasted dreary and tired….fish needs zest not gamey gravy. The English colonised the world, partly because their kitchen is so depressing.

Then this creamy fried macaroni thing - not sure where to begin, but tasted like microwaved Indomie in a bed of cholesterol...

Perhaps this was just our luck on our visit, but I’d suggest taking your €100 a head elsewhere.

I've had an amazing dinner here. The service was welcoming and considerate. The food is beyond, such a mix of terra e mare flavours. And the wines!

Perhaps I had too high expectations — but I couldn’t hide my disappointment.
The mantis shrimp crudo was particularly underwhelming. The pear paddles used as garnish, resting on finely chopped capers underneath, were all mushy, offering no contrast in texture. Although the menu described a caper pesto, what I received seemed to be missing it — instead, the dish was swimming in a watery green liquid and oil that lacked depth of flavor and felt soggy in the mouth.

The mullet crudo served with leche de tigre was more acceptable, but still bland and lacking any real kick.
The most disappointing dish, however, was the cuttlefish with bone marrow. I had ordered it after seeing the intriguing combination on Instagram, but when the dish arrived, there was no visible cuttlefish at all — it seemed to have been ground up and incorporated into something else. The asparagus, which was supposedly included, had no presence whatsoever — I wouldn’t have even known it was there. At €22, the price felt completely unjustified.
Worse, the bone marrow was served cold, causing the fat to congeal unpleasantly. It felt like something had gone wrong in the preparation process.

The mashed cod dish was passable, but nothing memorable.
Ironically, the best part of the meal was the €65 bottle of wine and the anchovy butter with bread that was served at the beginning.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but this experience was disappointing on a level that can’t simply be explained by a changed menu or a different chef.
It ended up ruining what was supposed to be the perfect last day of my trip to Sicily.

Fantastic food. Their dishes are very experimental, with super fresh ingredients and high quality. The flavours took us on a journey. Some of the highlights in the pictures. I recommend going for the tasting menu so you get to try more dishes at a more convenient price.
