“ Great food and great service! Went here with my girlfriend and was surprised to find the waiter speaking with a fluent English accent, turns out his mother was from the UK. Sasha did an absolutely amazing job recommending us food and wine and I would highly recommend you seek him out on a visit! If you are looking for the specialties the food is a little bit on the pricy side but well worth the money, would highly recommend! ”
“ Claimed to be the first "Polpetteria" in Sicily, this place is a must visit to try some of traditional Sicilian meatballs They have fish, meat and vegetarian based meatballs and my suggestion is to try as many you can, as each one has its own flavour. My favorite were the ones with meat and gorgonzola cheese melted on top, a little less tasty the fish based ones ”
