"A hidden gem, known by locals but probably less so by the passing tourists. I’ve had here the best Sicilian granita ever, plus the accompanying freshest and softest brioche you can think of."
"Ragazzə... Penso di aver mangiato l'arancinO(imparate bene la differenza!) più buono della mia vita! Buono, cremoso e avvolgente! Ne abbiamo preso uno classino e uno al salmone che tralasciando il ripieno veramente gustoso avevano un "Heart attack amount" di formaggio filante. Li abbiamo abbiamo accompagnati con due focacce(classica e alla norma) e anche loro devo dire niente male! Prezzi un po' altini ma la bontà del cibo ti fa chiudere un occhio! Tornerò sicuramente!"
"Sehr gutes Essen in familiärer Umgebung. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Giovanni und seine Familie sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Das durfte ich erfahren, als ich was verloren hatte, vielen Dank nochmals"
"Incredible, kind staff. One of the best locals in Roccalumera. Nothing started my morning better than a warm croissant and a cappucino. I would love to go back here someday."
"Locale carino e tranquillo con della rosticceria di ottimo livello! Da consigliare assolutamente i pitoni!"
