After a hard long day of touristing, we grabbed dinner here and it was good. Although it was not perfect. The table and chairs where uncomfortable, staff was friendly but could barely speak english (menu was available in english). It is not very cozy with white led lights. And in the end we had to ask twice for the check and still had to wait for it. Maybe a lot of negative, but we still enjoyed dinner here.

I looked at the reviews and went there expecting the worst. We were greeted by a very nice owner and waiter. The pizzas were the best we had on Sicily. Recommend this place. And it's cheap.
