Reviews Summary

This enoteca offers a delightful experience with its extensive Marsala wine selection and warm, friendly service in a beautiful historic courtyard. While many praise the delicious food, particularly seafood and pasta dishes, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality and attentiveness of service, with a few finding the prices slightly high for the experience.

"Initially we thought this was just a wine tasting stand with a few tables dotted around the courtyard in the distance. Oh how wrong we were!

We did sample some wines before looking at a menu. A great selection of Marsala wines to get your taste buds warmed up.

We went through to the courtyard and were seated by the most welcoming and friendly staff. The two ladies serving us wore genuine smiles and were more than happy to help with anything we needed, including great knowledge of the menu.

The tables are the courtyard were fairly spaced out and it would be easy to think they could easily triple the seating, but it is immediately evident they’re working on quality rather than quantity.

The food was out of this world! Whilst the portions appeared a little small at first, they more than made up for it in taste and were surprisingly filling. The lasagne and swordfish with accompanying grilled vegetables is highly recommended.

There is a beautiful ambience about the place, well positioned tables, great music and the most beautiful location.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see a rosette appear in this restaurants future, it would be well deserved. Thank you for the perfect dining experience!"

"Lovely courtyard to sit in and the Marsala wine they have by the glass is really good, I recommend this place for aperitivo. The red prawn tartare was also a delight!

BUT, and that is a big but, the service should be more attentive. Came for the first time at noon, asked whether the kitchen is open, they tell me yes, I should seat myself. I wait and wait for the menu, but leave after noone attends to me. I am thinking "OK, the menu looked interesting, gonna come back later".

That I did after an hour or so and sadly, again I was seated, no menu brought but the waitress comes to me to already as if to take my order, thinking someone has brought me one. What is more for the whole time that I was eating my risotto (which was blander than bland, don't recommend it) the two tables next to me were not cleaned up, although the courtyard was half-empty. Not a very nice setting to eat. It seemed everyone was more invested in some building works that were taking place at this time.

It wasn't an absolutely bad lunch, not at all, but a bit too expensive for the service (and partly food) received."

"We went to this restaurant with big hopes but unfortunately were disappointed by the food. The staff is very helpful and kind, service was good. Yet we didn’t find the dishes very tasty. Each plate was either mediocre or even below, didn’t have special flavor. Overall we paid 86eur for 3 people. Would not go back."

The town’s Cathedral, built on the site of an old Norman church and dedicated to Thomas a Becket, and its Archaeological Museum are also worthy of a visit. Other local attractions include the saltpans and nature reserve of Il Stagnone, the archaeological Phoenician island of Mozia and the Egadi Islands. At the neighbouring season town of Mazara del Vallo, there is one of the finest surviving ancient bronze statues in the form of the Satiro Danzante, gathered from the seabed by fishermen in the 1990’s.
