Unglaublich lecker! Sind extra von unserer Unterkunft 40 Minuten hier her gefahren. Was uns erwartet hat? Eine unfassbar gute, authentische, sizilianische Holzofenpizza von zwei sehr herzlichen Menschen serviert! Wir können uns wirklich den vorangegangenen Rezensionen anschließen. Hochwertige und regionale Zutaten die besser nicht sein können. Respekt! Der Pizzabäcker selbst spricht deutsch, da er einige Jahre dort gelebt hat. Wir hatten tolle Gespräche und werden uns noch lange an seine Gastfreundschaft erinnern. Keine überlaufene Touristenattraktion, Thekenstühle/Barhocker vorhanden, stabile Preise. Die Pizza kann man auch am Marktplatz auf einer der Parkbänke genießen. Pizza, Ichnusa non filtrada, Aussicht, das Leben ist perfekt!

Eccellente pizza, come anche la vespa. Qualità italiana! ????????

It’s a small pizzeria with only 5 places to sit but it is exceptionally good. 5 star. It was very good. We went as soon as it opened and seating was not a problem. But hadn’t we found a place to sit inside we would gladly order take away. Definitely not to be missed. Service excellent. If I will be in the area again I would definitely go again.

Siamo stati di passaggio in camper a Gagliano Castelferrato, ci siamo fermati la sera a degustare la pizza in questo locale. Devo dire l’accoglienza e l’ospitalità sono veramente una realtà che solo in Sicilia si trova. Grazie da Maurizio e Angela. Specifico pizza cotta con forno a legna.

Carmelo ist unglaublich sympathisch und locker. Die Pizza hat er nach unseren Wünschen kredenzt und hat super geschmeckt. Wir haben uns sofort wohl und wie zuhause gefühlt. Preislich unschlagbar günstig. An das gesamte Ambiente und an Carmelo werden wir uns gerne und lange erinnern.
