One of the best tasting lasagnas I’ve ever had in my life. The seafood is fresh and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The seafood ravioli is also fantastic. What an incredible place for a quick and delicious meal!

Bit like a school canteen in the UK, difference being this food is edible. Sicilian fast food is still better quality than most meals. They do cakes. They do ice cream. They do beer. Buy one of everything, make your day.

⸻ I want to say a special “thank you.” This is a story I will remember for the rest of my life. Every time we came to Portopalo during our trip, we would go to this place to enjoy coffee and wonderful pastries. That day was emotional, and I accidentally left my handbag on the windowsill. Inside were my documents, €2200, and my bank cards. We had already driven about 10 kilometers when I realized it was missing. When we came back, it was siesta time, and everything was closed. But the staff were waiting for me at the door—with my bag. Everything was still there. I wanted to thank them and offer money, but they wouldn’t take it. This story will stay with me forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sicily, Portopalo, Candiano — and the wonderful people who work there — will stay in my heart forever.

Always excellent. Great value. Good food. Nice staff. They have a bread shop, a bar, cakes, a self service cafeteria at lunch time, a pizzeria upstairs in the evenings and a great supermarket round the corner. Arrive at midday for lunch so you have the best selection of the hot fresh food on offer for lunch. Lunch was €10 for a main, 5 vegetables and water. Dinner was €10 for a pizza, patatine fritte, a drink and Coperto.
