"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!"
