Description

At the gates of the town and a few steps from the magnificent Cathedral of Monreale, this rustic yet elegant venue proves to be an intriguing destination for those wishing to explore refined seafood cookery, reinterpreted with a modern touch while never betraying the authenticity of the flavours. The Tonnarello fresco cacio e pepe con quenelle di gambero rosso (fresh tonnarello cacio e pepe with a red prawn quenelle) is a delightful pasta dish that well represents the chef’s hand, as do the impeccably fresh and expertly executed seafood crudo. Finally, the house desserts are not to be missed:
