Via Valverde, 26

Great accomodation.

Pretty central, not far off the main street (Via Roma).

This was a very comfortable place to stay, with lots of space. It would be great for 3-4 people.

Amazing mattress.

Love how much light this place gets.

We did have this odd issue with the electricity continually cutting out whenever we tried to do something. The host sent an electrician around after we left, so hopefully it's all fixed now.

I would try to find somewhere cheaper next time.

BIGA Genio e Farina

Pizza Restaurant

On the Via Maqueda.

My favourite pizza place in Sicily.

How it works

It's a really popular place, but it's well run.

  1. Join the line at the door (don't try to grab a table)
  2. Pick your slices and pay
  3. Get directed to a table
  4. Pizza comes to you!

Osteria Lo Bianco

Restaurant

One of my favourite restaurants ever. Love the colours of the menu.

First time trying sicilian dishes.

We had a range of different starters, which were all delicious.

Absolutely love the caponata. Who knew aubergine could taste so good?! I think it's the sweet and sour sauce that does it for me ("agrodolce").

I had the Pasta alla Carrettiera. I would try the Pasta alla Norma next time.

Terzo Cerchio Gelateria

Ice Cream

This was the closest gelateria near the Teatro Massimo.

First time seeing ice cream served in a bread roll (brioche). What an idea!
